I know that Kryptonite will exchange locks that can be opened with Bics, but I'm on the market for a new lock. I've looked around online a bit, and plenty of places carry Kryptonite U locks, but not the new, slot-key ones. Does anyone know of an online dealer that has new, safe locks? I want a plain-ol, regular size U-lock.

Thanks.

I heard the new ones can be easily opened with a well manueverd chicken sandwich technique.

 

[kingLatency]

That would be a waste of a chicken sandwich.

 

[biggins]

actually the new ones can be opened with a tampon wrapper and two fingernail clippings.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say the vast majority of the next 4 super-cargo-ships full of Kryptonite locks coming from Taiwan are going straight in the mail as part of this exchange scheme.

I thought the new locks were (pre-chicken-sandwich) not going to ship till after Interbike / next model year anyway.

I got an OnGuard chain and it's nice, even if it weighs more than a chicken sandwich.

Or a salt spoon, dental floss, and an IUD...

Any ideas on if OnGuard U-locks are any good?

Oh, and what about u-locks whose round keyhole is as larger diameter than a pen's? Can I get one of those?

then someone will open it with a highlighter or the roll in the middle of toilet paper, etc.

Who trusts their bike to a lock? Wait until someone steals your fork or wheel, Somthing I see happen way to much at work. Once some criminal even took off a whole rear swingarm to get the bike. Lock was left still in tact on a bikerack.

besides any u lock can be opened easily with a good screwjack

Apparently, people are trying to tell me that I'm ****ed no matter what. I guess that makes my question, "What makes me the least ****ed?" Ah, **** it.

 

[Toshi]

OnGuards are decent...

 

[kingLatency]

Do they use flat keys?
