4 out of 5 stars Just About Perfect!   November 16, 2008
This lock does the trick on so many levels. It's strong. It's durable. It's too small for a thief to get any good leverage on should they try to break it. It's small enough to fit snuggly in my back pocket, but just big enough to secure my bike to something 95% of the time (those other times, i just have to hunt out another location that fits).

This lock is more secure and more convenient to carry than any of the other locks I've owned. I highly recommend it.

I only took of a star because the keys seem a bit flimsy and i don't like how the keyhole slides around. It's annoying sometimes to have to position the key just so and wiggle it around a few times before I can get the keyhole to engage/disengage right. But this is a minor quibble.

If I lost my lock, I wouldn't have a second's look at the other locks on the market. I'd just buy another one of these and get back on the street.



5 out of 5 stars Solid lock   November 14, 2008
I initially bought this lock to serve as my primary lock. However, I later bought the Kryptonite noose lock b/c of it's ability to accomodate larger object (i.e. building pillars). That is not to say the evo is not a good lock - I actually really like it. I keep my noose lock at school and bring my evo with me everywhere else. Along with a cable, the evo will protect my bike from most thieves.

5 out of 5 stars Great Small Lock   November 2, 2008
Small, easy to use, really hard to break lock. The only problem is... it is small, so it might not fit around everything you want. But that is the nature of the beast. I bring around a cable lock wherever i go, just in case. If you are on a school campus like I am where bike parking is provided, it is fine though. It fits around city poles and other things as well. Another downer: all the fixed gear riders at my school stick them in their back pockets to look cool. -___-


5 out of 5 stars Great lock   October 24, 2008
This lock is great in two major ways. It's tough one of the toughest, if not the toughest, lock out there for the price and small enough to carry in your back pocket or a small bag. This lock is much more secure than my old lock that was twice the size, which was prone to leveraging attacks.

Great lock, it'll last a lifetime.



5 out of 5 stars Just what I was looking for.   October 7, 2008

The size is amazing. It literally does fit in your back pocket. I was also looking at the OnGuard Mini but I like the Kryptonite's bent foot design better.
