Review on πŸ”’ Silver Kryptonite Transit Tube-R Bicycle Chain Lock Carrier by Kofi Wills

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great chain holder, fits other brands of chains

On the other hand, it's a large size. My Harbor Freight kryptonite style fake chain fits perfectly. In addition to the chain, my steel lock fits over the chain (also suitable for port cargo, much better than the lock that comes with their chain). The top closes, looks better than my wrap dress I made before. The reason I bought it is because my chain broke my bottle cage due to the weight and I sometimes go down stairs or jump curbs during my daily commute. It includes all content. 4 stars instead of 5 because it's very hard plastic, thick and tough, but I'm not sure if it's anti-theft. It says "Kryptonite" but my only hope is that I have a bolt and strap to hold it. Anyone with scissors and an allen wrench can do this in seconds. The point is to leave it with the bike as the reason for buying it is to quickly remove the lock and put it in the bike when I'm in a hurry. I too may have deducted another star but it seemed difficult. The reason for this is because it's so big you can't mount it on the front frame rail corner bolts since it's a bottle cage. Therefore, the only option is a vertical frame support with a screw and strap. Of course you can tie it to the horizontal bar. if as a commuter you don't mind buying a new one every few weeks. All in all recommendable, is suitable for the freight transport network in the port and cuts a fine figure on the bike. Just note the sizing/positioning issues (which actually have more to do with the screw hole positions). Throughout the day, the rubber clasp holding the top would eventually give way and break. The side straps holding it to the bike are still fine. So I immediately bought another one. I can't live without it right now!
