Amazon sucks!

On: 2009-08-09

Two weeks later, never got the lock. Amazon told me I had to to contact Seasons Outfitters. & when I did, they told me that I already had it & I was trying to steal a lock from them!!! Nice !!!
When I tried to contact Amazon again, I found that they carefully make it impossible to contact them for cust service on Amazon marketplace orders. They dont want to hear about it! Take my advice, order from someone who actually cares about your business.
Finally had to dispute the charge on my credit card & order the lock from another vendor. Got the lock right away. Its great (though series 2 mini is identical with no lighted key & a lot cheaper).
Amazon sucks!!!

The Little Lock that Could

On: 2009-06-12

This is my second Evo-Mini. I acquired a new bike and wanted to take advantage of the Anti-Theft Policy Krypto offers on a new lock (up to $2000 for the Evo Mini, be sure to read the fine print). Though functionally the same, Krypto has made some improvements/changes to the lock since they sent me a replacement following the Bic pen debacle of 2004. Namely, the cross bar is a bit bigger and shaped differently on the key side, and (this is a good one) the keys are redesigned so that they hang more like normal keys on a key chain-they used to have a large oval section which was roughly perpendicular to the blade of the key, now the oval section is smaller and positioned parallel to the blade.

As a side note, though this purchase was predicated largely on the Krypto Anti-Theft Policy, the best policy is to make your locked bike look too difficult, time consuming, etc to a would-be thief. To those ends, I plan on using this lock in tandem with a New York Noose chain.
