I bought this chain from Amazon after I lost the key to my old KryptoLok over the winter. Fortunately, after wasting about 2 hours and ruining three perfectly good Bic pens, I got a feel for how to unlock the Kryptonite without the key. Although Kryptonite was kind enough to offer a free exchange for a new lock that wouldn't be Bic-vulnerable, I needed a new lock right away, so I searched Amazon to see which new U-locks had the best reviews. After stumbling upon the earlier 5-star reviews for this chain, I gave up on the U-lock idea and decided to give Abus a try.
The first impression was very good: this chain has a wonderful, solid, "quality" appearance and feel. I seriously feel good inside every time I see my new "bicycle key" on my keychain, in the same way that I would feel good about having the key to a brand-new Mini. But, the key itself isn't the best part: what I really love is that this lock snaps together without needing to use the key at all! My old KryptoLok always made me feel like a complete klutz, because I'm just no good at fumbling around with two pieces of U-lock plus a key when my hands are cold and my pulse is racing after a hard ride. Now, I can drop this chain into my backpack unlocked, and it's always easy to snap together when I park my bike. I still use my old Kryptonite accessory cable to secure my seat and rear wheel, and it works great with the chain.
Very highly recommended!Get more detail about Abus Steel-O-Chain 880 Bicycle Lock (7mm x 3.58-Feet).
