CUT KRYPTONITE BIKE LOCK PORTABLE

Kryptonite themselves make the Transit H-Bar lock carrier which is compatible with a wide range of bike locks including the Fahgettaboudit. Otherwise, you could buy a separate, third party frame mount. And some people fasten the lock through a belt loop on their jeans (I do not recommend this technique, it seems like an accident waiting to happen, to me)įor many people these options weren’t acceptable and some have fashioned their own frame mounts, usually out of pieces of Velcro! If you google “how to carry a Fahgettaboudit” you will find loads of these homemade solutions. I have heard of people wedging them in their water bottle cages. You could also strap it to your luggage rack or put it in your panniers if you use them. But that sort of weight in on your back every day might start to get annoying.

Of course, you could put it in your backpack or shoulder bag if you use one. With an official weight of 4.55 lb (2.06 kg) it’s actually one of the heaviest u-locks available.Īnd it doesn’t come with a frame mount! So this makes carrying the Fahgettaboudit Mini a bit of a challenge. Let’s look at some of these usability issues that you’ll face with the Fahgettaboudit Mini… Is the Kryptonite Fahgettaboudit Mini easy to carry?Īlthough it’s a mini u-lock, the Fahgettaboudit is still exceptionally heavy. We come back to that first question: what is the point of the Kryptonite New York Fahgettaboudit Mini these days? And there are loads of other bike locks that can also only be defeated by angle grinders, but are a bit easier to use and carry.

Now, we shouldn’t make the mistake of thinking that all thieves are walking around with portable grinders.

A portable angle grinder can cut through both sides of the Fahgettaboudit Mini in around a minute.

Thieves are increasingly using angle grinders.

The only way the Fahgettaboudit can be defeated is with an angle grinder. It's rated both Sold Secure Bicycle Gold and Motorcycle Gold. Kryptonite themselves give it a maximum 10/10 rating. The extraordinary level of protection is reflected in its security ratings.

Your lock (if it is currently locked up will need to have it removed by contacting a local bike shop, fire department or locksmith.And because it's a mini u-lock, if you lock your bike correctly (more on this later), there’ll be no room inside the “D”, for a thief to insert a hydraulic bottle jack (that might be able to pop the lock open).
