🔒 Silver Kryptonite Transit Tube-R Bicycle Chain Lock Carrier Review

Advertisement shows steel holder. When I received the item it was plastic and not steel. Please change the description. I feel cheated as I cannot return this item.

Love Kryptonite products! I have two chains and two Transit Tube-Rs for both road bikes. Approximately 90% of 912.5mm Cryptolock chain will fit in the Tube-R, which is normal. Also, the tube sits low on the bike to improve balance.

Great trunk, I use it with the Kryptonite Evolution 4 from 21". I like that the lid has a rubber "hinge" that allows you to open the top by sliding the lid to the side instead of sliding up large, if you position it correctly you can also use it as a bottle holder.

This is my second carrier; The first lasted just over a year before the bolts ruptured the tube itself. On this install I forgot to put the rubber gasket on and tightened everything up. It's a simple tube with a strong body that can be carried around with a chain lock without having to wrap it around a seat or put it in a pocket that can be removed without tools. I live in an area with a lot of bike theft, so having something to deter would-be thieves from escaping is a plus. Anything that…

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…
