So I got a hiplock chain lock for my hunqapillar. And I also have a kryptonite u-lock.
The hiplock is actually pretty useful. You don't feel it at all on your waist due to the casing around the chain. Its thick enough to deter a thief with bolt cutters, but not with a portable grinder (and at that point, not much you can do except avoid locking your bike up at night or in alleyways, or anywhere in san francisco or new york). It is not as heavy duty as some of the other heavy duty chains like the kryptonite fahgettaboutit chains, but still heavy duty enough for me, probably overkill. I like the chain (v. ulock) because it gives you more room to lock up in tight spaces where a u-lock won't quite fit. And since you wear it you don't ever have to worry about a way to carry it. i spent a long afternoon comparing and weighing the pros and cons of all the locks at rei one day before deciding on this (even over the same, more heavy duty hiplock). That being said, when i'm cycling out in the country and rural areas with stops at random stores, delis, cafes, etc., i don't even bring a lock On Thursday, August 7, 2014 3:34:48 PM UTC-7, Serial Griller wrote: > > I normally do my ride and lock my bike in the rack on my truck since I > seldom ride from home.( I live in the boon docks) > What kind of lock set ups are popular with all of you. > Thanks, > Jon > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
