what is good length for a folding lock?
#1
Hello.
Looking to buy a folding lock for the first time. What is a good, comfortable length? I see 75cm, 85cm, 90, 100cm, 130cm. Is 85cm decent? I will often lock my bike around a post and sometimes together with another bike & a post. I suppose the second option needs a longer one.
