This review is from: Kryptonite Kryptolok Combo Standard Bicycle U-Lock (Sports)
I've used this lock for a year and have had no problems at all with it. It's so convenient to not worry about keys, and if my friends need to borrow my bike I can just tell them the combo over the phone, so they're happy too. Just make sure it is long enough before you buy, because mine works on my commuter bike but is too short to accommodate both the front wheel and frame on my mountain bike. Oh, and DO remember to close the weather guard so if it rains the numbers don't get wet and slippery...that can be a minor annoyance.

I set the combo per instructions. Tested it 3 or 4 times to make sure it worked like I got it. Then a little later just before a ride I tried it one more time and it wouldn't open. One of the dials is really hard to turn, so maybe that's the cause. For some people it works fine, others it doesn't, so just know that you are taking a chance. I'm returning mine and going for a key lock.

The worst thing about having a heavy duty U-lock is having to carry it around. This Kryptonite lock with the addition of the mounting bracket solves that inconvenience. I have a Trek 7.3 FX 17.5" and it mounts on the bicycle perfectly. It goes on my bicycle next to the rear wheel by angling the bracket 90 degrees. It doesn't interfere with my cycling motion and has about an inch of clearance next to the rear wheel. The lock does chatter a little bit when it's mounted, but I solved that problem by using wall insulation and duct tape. Now the mounting bracket holds the lock securely and quietly. Another annoyance with the lock is the difficulty of rotating the numbers sometimes. The best way to get around this is by only changing one number when you lock your bicycle. This makes it very easy to open it quickly. Overall, this item still deserves five stars!
