Kryptonite Kryptolok Combo Standard Bicycle U-Lock High security pick and drill resistant disc-style cylinder ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………. I’ve used my Kryptonite combination U-lock daily for a full year. I used another brand of combination U-lock for two years before this. The Kryptonite lock is superior. Even after a year of daily use the combination wheels and latch button are reasonably easy to operate. I had trouble with the competing brand from the start… The competing brand since improved their design, but the Kryptonite is still easier to operate. The Kryptonite frame mount is easily installed and removed (unlike the competition) and securely holds the lock in place. The plastic material used by Kryptonite holds up quite well. The competitor’s rubberized coating turned to sticky goo when activated by sap from trees hanging over a public bike rack. A beefier shackle would be comforting, but this lock properly used will discourage all but serious thieves. (See “Sheldon Brown Lock Strategy” for instructions – lock the rear wheel through the rear triangle to a rack.) a U lock without a key is a great idea. In the summer I commute by bike to work. The lock is so reasonably priced by Amazon that I can permanently leave the lock at the bike rack in front of my work. This allows two things: 1.It allows me to not have to carry the lock in my bag. 2. It also allows me to not have to dig thru my bag looking for a lock key hidden in the folds of my work cloths. Maybe these steps sound like little annoyances but if you enjoy trying to find ways to make your urban commute more efficient and simple this might be a good place to start. Thanks Amazon and Kryptonite. I purchased this lock in 2008. I’ve used it on my bike, outside, in Alameda, CA (plenty of rain). I’ve had to oil it occationally to keep the tumblers moving. The one sign of wear is the rubber gaskets at the top of each end of the “U”; they’ve weathered and cracked, but it doesn’t seem to have affected the lock. I think that as long as I oil the mechanism every now and then this lock will last another 5 years. It’s soooo great to never have to worry about a key. More than enough lock for my needs, I don’t leave my bike out overnight. Took a while but finally found a spot to mount it on the bike out of the way while riding.
