Frequently Asked Questions
What lengths are available and which should I choose?
The CityChain Plus 1010K is offered in 85cm, 110cm, 140cm and 170cm. Choose 85cm for minimal bulk and tight locking, 140cm as a versatile commuter option, and 170cm if you frequently need to loop around large posts or secure multiple bikes.
Does the chain come with a mounting bracket?
No — this model does not include a bracket. It's designed to be carried in a bag, pannier, or strapped to a rack. You can buy universal mounting brackets separately if frame storage is essential.
How resistant is the ABUS-Plus cylinder to picking?
The ABUS-Plus cylinder is a higher-security barrel that resists common picking and drilling techniques used by opportunistic thieves. While no lock is completely impervious to a determined, well-equipped thief, the cylinder significantly raises the bar for attack.
Will the textile sleeve damage my bike's paint?
No — the textile sleeve is abrasion-resistant and specifically designed to protect your frame from scratches and chips. Regular cleaning of the sleeve and the parts it contacts will keep both sleeve and frame in good condition.
Are replacement keys available if I lose them?
Yes. Abus supplies two keys with the lock, and replacement keys can be ordered through Abus or authorized dealers. For keyed locks without a unique key code, you may need to provide proof of ownership or the original key code to obtain replacements.
How heavy is the 140cm model?
Shipping weight for the product is about 5.9 lb (2.7 kg) for the packaged unit — expect the actual chain weight to be slightly less. Chains are heavier than cable locks but offer much greater cut resistance.
Buying Guide
When choosing a chain lock, balance security, weight and practicality. Look for hardened steel links (8–12mm for urban security), a proven cylinder like ABUS-Plus for pick resistance, and a protective sleeve to avoid frame damage. Select a length that lets you lock frame and rear wheel to common fixtures you use. Consider how you'll carry the lock — chains are heavier than U-locks but provide more reach. If you need frame mounting, check for compatible brackets or choose a portable storage solution. For high-risk areas, pair the chain with a secondary lock for added deterrence.
