It is very light and would stop someone without nail-clippers from walking off with your bike. THat one is at the other end of the spectrum - almost for a motorbike? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5522#post-59278 Mon, 05 Mar 2012 10:57:07 +0000 custard 59278@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>pfft, I carry a lot more than that with my organic padding :o </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5522#post-59271 Mon, 05 Mar 2012 10:35:39 +0000 Roibeard 59271@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I'm routinely carrying 4.5kg of lock.

The stuff meant for fences is cheap too.</p> <p>Plastic padlocks are harder to find.... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5522#post-59239 Sun, 04 Mar 2012 22:51:40 +0000 Cyclingmollie 59239@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Someone should make an inflatable lock. Visible deterrent and zero weight. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5522#post-59236 Sun, 04 Mar 2012 22:02:05 +0000 cb 59236@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Just weighed my U lock and Kryptoflex cable (lives wrapped around the U lock) and they came in at about 1.1kg </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5522#post-59071 Fri, 02 Mar 2012 13:09:16 +0000 Uberuce 59071@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>If my luggage scale is to be believed, my wee chain is 2.5kg and my bigger one 4.6kg. If I'm expecting to lock my shiniest bike up in town I use the chunky chain, but otherwise I'll plump for the light option. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5522#post-59058 Fri, 02 Mar 2012 12:21:16 +0000 Dave 59058@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I have a similar lock by Abus I think (possibly even more chunky, in fact).</p> <p>Not something to carry around, although it can be worn easily as a belt, but it's very fine if you need to lock up in public regularly (i.e. at work). When I used to have a bike that easily came apart I kept it here paired with a D-lock.</p> <p>For £20 I'd highly recommend... mine was about 3x that (10 years ago!) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5522#post-59046 Fri, 02 Mar 2012 11:49:02 +0000 custard 59046@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>looks good<br /> I just checked and my Magnum D lock hits about 4lb on the scales<br /> also found an old,squashed banana in the camalbak bag it was in :( </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5522#post-59008 Fri, 02 Mar 2012 09:26:12 +0000 Nelly 59008@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>5lb ! </p> <p>My daily ride doesnt look anything special (actually it isnt anything special), and keep a £2 abus combo in the carradice to lock it up outside a shop etc - this weighs next to nothing, would not deter a decent pair of pliers, but the combination of a rubbishy looking bike and any lock seems to have worked so far.</p> <p>That one is pretty reasonable for someone looking to leave a decent chain at work or something though. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5522#post-59007 Fri, 02 Mar 2012 09:06:52 +0000 chdot 59007@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>For the mildly paranoid (or those needing to leave valuable bikes in public) this is currently 1/3 off -</p> <p><img src="http://www.edinburghbicycle.com/productimage/getsizelargest?f_ImgWebModelID=14030&amp;f_Scale=1"></p> <p><a href="http://www.edinburghbicycle.com/products/revolution-secure-chain-lock" rel="nofollow">http://www.edinburghbicycle.com/products/revolution-secure-chain-lock</a></p> <p>"Was £29.99, Now only £19.99 "</p> <p>"Approx weight: 2.27kg/5lb." </p>
