Review on πŸ”’ Kryptonite Evolution U-Lock - 11-14mm Shackle Width with FlexFrame-U Mount by Yuan Walsh

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Large size to fit frame and post/railing/sign/meter but not with wheel

Great bike lock with medium to high security. I bought one for myself and my wife as we both commute regularly. The Mini U is big enough to attach my bike to most bike racks, street signs and parking meters. However, I cannot mount it around my frame, rack and wheel. Because it's a smaller U-bracket, you really have to rely on cables to attach the wheels to the bike. I don't live in a big metropolitan area or a big college town, so that's enough for my daily needs. Mounting on a bike frame is quite reliable, but noisy. Thunders hard. So I ditched it and now carry a U-lock on my belt or in my pocket. Not a big deal, but if you really mind rumble and road noise, I doubt you'll like the frame-mounting solution. more than a U. But I really enjoyed using this lock and it's a handy size to carry. I've been using it almost daily for over 2 months now, even while cycling and locking the lock outside in the rain. The locking action is still smooth.
