5.0 out of 5 stars Maybe a little overboard...but worth it, February 8, 2008

This review is from: Kryptonite New York Noose with Evolution Series 4 Disc Lock - 2ft. -6in. Chain 999539

I bought this bike lock because it was the best lock on the market (according to reviews), and I figured I will very likely one day own a bike that would be worth stealing. My current bike is not THAT valuable, but I still don't want it stolen...However, now that I own the Fahgettaboudit, it's almost too much...

It's definitely heavy. Wrapping it around my frame causes a noticeable weight increase, especially when leaning the bike and carrying it...plus, if I don't wrap it just right, the lock swings while I'm riding, which has clipped my ankle once (not a very pleasant feeling). The chain will crush just about anything in a backpack, and putting it on the bottom will be annoying when it comes time to take it back out...though a compartmentalized backpack would fix that. Some users say they can fit it around their waste, but when I tried I couldn't keep it on with a winter coat on to boot.

Despite all this, I still highly recommend this lock. It doesn't even occur to me that someone will mess with my bike, no matter where I put it. If you own (or plan on owning) an expensive bike, there's no other way to go.

For those that are wondering if you should upgrade to the 5' chain, I lock my chain to a 4x4 post, and I don't have a problem with it. If you can position your back wheel by the object, 3'3" should be long enough. I can't imagine what another foot and a half would do to the weight...

5.0 out of 5 stars It ain't pretty anymore but I still have my bike, December 25, 2006

I live in NYC and somehow have never had my bike tampered with until last week. Left my bike locked up for around 45 minutes and when I came down the lock was beat to hell but they didn't manage to break it. Really glad I locked up both wheels. Anyway, the lock still functions just fine despite being brutalized. I think I'll send Kryptonite some cookies.

I just received this lock today and was heavy! (15½ pounds!)
While I was unlocking my bike a guy came up and tried to mug me at night at 8 PM. This guy came up to me with a knife and said give me your stuff. Before I turned I said " Oh yeah?", I then proceeded to grab the chain and lock and started swinging violently and said " What now mother f****r!", the mugger got scared , dropped his knife and ran away.
Pros: Strong
Cons: Bulky , Heavy (15.5 pounds)
