Review on Kryptonite New York Lock Fahgettaboutit Mini 18mm U-Lock Bike Lock , Black by Joe Meyer

Revainrating 5 out of 5

New-U New York Fahgettabudit Mini: Model/UPC 002178

Bought to secure a heavy investment in bikes while I'm away from them. I use different locks/chains/padlocks to maximize deterrence and/or slow thieves down as much as possible. Realizing that given enough time a determined thief will defeat ANY security measure, I decided to use this New U New York FAHGETTABOUDIT Mini in combination with a New York Fahgettaboudit 1415 chain and a New York Disc Bike lock. I have other bikes that I padlock with American Lock A700 and Master Lock 931 through hardened aluminum chains. The 25 year old kryptonite U-locks in my collection with curved ends and a long shackle have long been used to secure my extension ladders and drawers. Next on my list of locks to buy would be what as of 06/02/2019 ranks as the hardest to pick and strongest U-lock in the world: Abus Granit Extreme 59. While expensive, the potential cost of replacing the bikes is value. A small investment now can prevent large expenditures in the future. Thanks for reading and bike thieves: .Fahgettaboudit!

Pros
  • Easy Installation
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
