Sports reviews of Kryptonite Kryptolok Series 2 ATB Bicycle U-Lock (5-Inch x 9-Inch)Customer Review: Great Lock! Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I purchased this lock for my daughter to take to college. Her school's campus is notorious as a magnet for bike thieves with lots of bikes stolen each year. She has a cruiser/hybrid style bike with large rims/tires and the frame is a bit larger than typical road bikes. The extra
width and length of this lock easily allows it to go around the rear tire/rim/frame AND the bike rack which completely locks the frame and rear wheel to the rack and in her case doesn't leave a lot of extra room where a jack or pry-bar could fit in and try and break it,,a standard size U-lock may better suit your needs as you don't want a lot of space left over after locking the bike to a rack. She uses just this setup when she's at her classes during the day but at night back at the dorm she adds a second STD U-lock to lock the front tire to the frame(since she has quick release rims) and the next day she just leaves that U-Lock locked to the bike rack until she returns. School's only been in session for 3 weeks now and she said her dorm is posting notices already about missing bikes and to use "Good" U-Locks instead of just cables as they've already had quite a few bikes stolen that were locked with only cables or inferior U-Locks that are easily cut or pried open. Kryptonite U-locks are becoming the lock to have at her campus, they've got a great following. Final note about bike security...we also used a small cable to lock her seat to the frame, i'm sure it'll be easy to cut but may help keep the opportunist thief from quick releasing the seat and taking it.
I know it may be overkill but a couple extra dollars spent now on good security makes us feel better and hopefully makes her bike a less attractive theft next to the dozens of others on the racks that are not as secure.
