Bar pad for scale
hang it from the bars, avoid barspins.
that’s a good lock. I have one. It will make your bike harder to steal than others, which is what you want.
Edit: wear it like a bandolier when you are riding. add some split rings or even zip ties to customize length.
That would for sure take about 8 seconds for my cordless grinder to get through….but I doubt most theifs are that smart and would try to pop it open with a knife and fail. So win as long as no crackheads with power tools. Lol. (Don’t carry a lock cause I trust no one and will carry that bitch with me into a doctors office if need be. ) lol
Get a “modern” lock 🤷♂️
You can never have too much lock! I use a u lock and stick it in my back pocket. I’ve seen people wrap these around their waists if they’re long enough. I’ve looped them on my top tube depending if you care if you scratch it or could put a bar pad on the top tube to protect it. Def never lock it outside overnight. Easy way to lose anything not locked down or even the lock can get cut!
Had the same conundrum and decided on a smaller u-lock that always goes in my hip pack
Great topic !!! I have the same Kryptonite chain except mine weighs 4.5 pounds.
Here is what I do:
I got a Kryptonite U Lock Mini. I use a Chrome Industries Kadet Sling. There is literally a slot made into the bag for the U Lock. It’s so convenient.
I used to worry about my chain around the seat post and then it would flop and rub on the tire. Just sucked. [Kadet Mini U Lock Holder](https://cdn.packhacker.com/2021/03/dd498457-chrome-industries-mini-kadet-u-lock.jpg?auto=compress&auto=format&w=960&h=640&fit=crop)
What is the purple thing in the middle?
I have the same lock, I just wrap is around my seat post tbh. I’m never away from my bike (locked or otherwise) for more than a few minutes, otherwise I bring that bitch into the store/building with me. If you truly want a frame bag strictly for the lock, Chrome Industries makes a good medium-ish bag that it will fit in perfectly fine I’m sure. And you can still throw some snacks in there.
