The extension is really useful
This lock works surprisingly well for me. I have an expensive and irreplaceable back wheel on my bike. Previously, to lock the back wheel and the frame with a reasonable amount of security, I used a hardened chain lock. That was pretty secure, and flexible, but very heavy. This lock serves the same function with a lot less weight. I can use the extender to trap my back wheel and then the main part of the U to connect the frame to a lamppost or something like that. I can get the whole thing up pretty high off the ground, which gives it a bit more security against bolt cutter attacks braced against the ground. As far as general bike security goes, I've studied real thefts in my city and determined that for regular storage, the only place to keep a good bike is inside your house or apartment -- not in a garage, shed, porch, etc. But for locking up while shopping, or in the bike room at work, this is quite serviceable.
Kryptonite versatile
Add kryptonite messenger ulock with the small shackle, Delta security wheel locks, a sign post, and a rusty but good riding older bike and it will still be there when you return. A viable option would be to take off the front wheel and secure it with the small shackle that comes with the lock. It doesn't come with a mounting bracket that connects it to the frame. I've found that it fits through the saddle rails and a shock cord secures it to a rear rack to prevent swing. Take the saddle off along with handlebar bag and panniers and there's not much worth stealing.
Easy to use, high durability
This lock is surprisingly easy to use and fits with most stationary bike racks. You don’t need much clearance around the bike and rack in order to place the lock correctly and securely. It obviously wouldn’t work well for securing the bike to a tree or larger diameter post or pole. Signing up for the warranty is a little cumbersome. Make sure you have the receipts for the bike and lock on hand and pictures of the bike in a format you can upload to the warranty registration website.
Great lock (when it works)
90% of the time, this lock is awesome. But a few times, the lock seems to get misaligned somehow and my key won’t turn correctly to unlock it. One time, I thought I was going to have to leave my bike and come back later to try to break it open. But after about 20 minutes of messing with it, I finally got it to work. Just wish it was more reliable for the price.
Keep Ur spin off - ON !!
Love this lock, I can run it thru my front wheel and the frame, keeping my spin off from walking away ! Just perfect, just right.
Works as intended, but has quirks
Everything about this lock works as intended, but there is one problem. The unlocking process could be much better. The key takes a bit of work to properly engage and unlock the cylinders. I thought it would get better as it wore a little, but that hasn't been the case 7 months later. I just had to learn the idiosyncrasies of the lock.
Good idea, poor execution
I wanted this be awesome, but it landed in the fail bucket. Got the tire loop stuck in my spokes twice. Bike has be placed just so for all the bits to align. Too much hassle and time to get locked up, and I’m not even a messenger. I hope they build a version two, I’m willing to try again.
Kryptonite messenger U lock
Fits compactly under and through the seat rails under my road bike and the lock part is behind the seat stem . Sorry the site wouldn’t let me add a picture.
Well-thought-out product
This lock has a unique extra loop, which makes it quite flexible
