In a nutshell, It is not feasible to mount it anywhere without it hitting the legs if you have a 17-inch frame bike. I could not mount it anywhere and I am not sure if Either of my bikes have a 17-inch frame! As a result of its short height, the seat cannot be mounted on the post, and if I try to lower it the lock will not disengage. The information would have helped me save money on this purchase if I had known about it before I used my gift card.
The mounting brackets aren't very sturdy. My lock cost me about twice what one would expect for a mini-U lock, but I paid that price because I wanted a lock that looked cool on my bike and was easy to operate. I thought it might be an end to the locks hanging from the loops on my belt. I thought I was wrong, but I wasn't. I have only been using the lock for less than three weeks on city streets, and the mounting bracket is starting to fall apart. This is not acceptable for a lock that costs $50. I will give the seller a chance to remedy the situation, but will not wait past the time for returns.
Even with the highest possible security rating, this lock isn't rated the safest available. As there is a locked mechanism, even when they are cut through, the pieces stay locked in place, which means they have to be cut through again before the bike can be taken. Moreover, the bike can be attached to any frame, allowing everything to be adjusted infinitely Those that are aerodynamically shaped). Moreover, the receptor clip for the lock on the bracket can also rotate 90°, so it can be fitted just about anywhere on the bike frame that's secure without taking up space that would otherwise be used This is a quality product that is.
I had my bike stolen off my car rack after it was stolen from my bike. I suspect that they cut the wire rope lock easily with a cutter then rode off in the vehicle. in place would deter someone from trying to ride off as they would be unable to do so easily since the lock would be installed between the frame and back tire, meaning that they would have to remove the bike and grind the As long as you register the lock and enroll in the Kryptonite service, you will be protected against reimbursement.
Having stayed with it for 5 months, he was willing to put his money at risk by letting it be I don't think it did. There is no explanation for why the bike didn't move from the bike rack at his place of work. My problem is that I'm concerned, so I surprised him with one of these beautiful locks. It has yet to be stolen in the three months we have had this lock, so I'm crediting this lock for our incredibly good fortune.
It is a very solid lock that is easy to use, and it The only way to get it out is to use some heavy bolt cutters. A second one will definitely be purchased for my.
This is described as 11 on the discription. It is 5 inches long. Not at all. Basically, it's a miniature U-shaped hole There is about 9 inches of tolal length in the lock. It does seem a bit strudy, though. In addition, I think the mounting bracket is suitable, though I have not yet taken my bike for a ride to check. This is one of the things I like about it it's No luck would fit in the triangle because I have a small frame bike. I was able to adjust the mounting system so it was on side, far enough forward so it would not interfere with the movement of my knee or my front fork. This will be a very good result if the system keeps it totally silent and still. Ratings are based on deceptive information. Hopefully, if the system is working well and the description is correct, it will gain more ranking potential.
I commute and use my bike to get from lab to lab on campus frequently, so this is my fourth lock from the Kryptonite brand. I noticed that the design of the key is relatively flat and hardly contains any "features. ". The reason I'm asking about that may have something to do with It takes me a long time to lock up every time as I have to fiddle extensively with the barrel. I sometimes have to adjust the tumbler for my key to work for nearly one minute. A brand that has lost quality control is displaying this behavior, which is incredibly frustrating for me.
I really like this product - it's great The product is of high quality and performs Getting started with Kryptonite locks is easier than you think. This lock even comes with a lock attachment to hold your lock while you are Our keys do not get stuck or bend easily and are of high quality. A rubber strap is included with the lock holder so your frame isn't scratched. There is an option to register for Kryptonite's insurance program in which if your bike is stolen you can receive up to $2000 (if I'm In addition, if you register your free keys, you will receive free keycards as well. I would buy 10 if I had 10 bikes. Good company, good product. After using the lock for about 2 weeks while commuting in NYC, the only thing I would recommend is tightening and adjusting the holder every week or so so the lock does not accidentally get in your way while you are.
