General Education: Q & A
can bolt cutters cut u lock?
I mean, I know that any lock can be cut, but like which one is most durable
I was thinking of getting the master lock u lock at city grounds on sale

or is a kryptonite better? let me know, is it worth the money?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
also can that thing thats attached to it to hold the lock be attached to an aluminum bike's seat tube (e.g. bianchi pista concept)
From what Ive heard, a good u-lock would require a grinder to break off. A poor quality u-lock can be unlocked with simple tools (ex. Bic Pen). Also, dont get too big of a u-lock because there are easy ways to break those as well.
As for the lock you're looking to buy. Id say if you ride a Bianchi Pista Concept; spend the $30 it would cost for a good u-lock (bulldog/kryptonite) so you dont have to worry about it getting stolen. Also, I doubt the holder would fit on the bikes seat tube (also it would look ugly). Try putting the lock in your bag or on your belt.
...I would suggest trying both...

thanks!
do any of you suggest a good bib?
ive been using a pair of cycling shorts, but it isnt cutting it.
Skins cycling bib if you got the money to spend.

thank you frank.
I checked out discovery today and they had some bulldogs, im still deciding on bull dogs or kryponites though , or I can just save 20 bucks and buy a cheap master u lock for 13. but the price i pay is the quality i get.
they say if they can be cut, they will say you $1215 . I don't know if its real or not because you can just fake it.
I'm rocking the Bulldog mini. Good quality lock, equal or greater than the Kryptonite Mini Evo (I've used my friends for about a month prior) and cheaper.
Masterlocks are kinda cheap quality IMO.
damn, i dont have 200+ to spend. whats the next best thing?
