[...] So what about these really cool chain locks that really cool kids wear? Chain locks, while very useful in big cities, are overkill here in Provo. They are heavy, cumbersome, and usually dent/scratch up your bike.

Nice idea. Maybe if it wasn’t a gigantic wearable screaming billboard for HIPLOCK…

Big deal! I’ve been doing this with a Kryptonite NY FU chain lock for years. The NY FU chain has never felt uncomfortable wrapped around my waist.

sweet review, I was wondering about this lock. Id like one for travel and as a back up lock. Would you trust this as much as the fagedabout it chain/lock? would you use this in NY?

Disc wheels and disc brakes are two different things. I’ve been running disc brakes for a long time, don’t need to convince me.

Clever lock, and a good review.

Move to the PNW and then we’ll talk about how much disc brakes make sense.
