Works like it should rating

This is a lower end Krytonite for less expensive bikes or secondary security. My bike is in a bike cage, so this lock suffices. It does not have the higher end security features since as center key slot and hardened steel around the mechanism. The mechanism itself is smooth, and it appears to be good quality. The extended length is handy.

lousy, lousy lock rating

After a month of light use, it's already breaking down. It takes eight or nine tries to get the lock to turn and it's clearly going to be impossible to open at all before long. A blemish on the name of Kryptonite. I'm buying a replacement before I face a crisis in which the lock breaks entirely while my bike is locked up with it.

Nice to Have it Long... rating

Indeed, I've found that when securing bike to other than dedicated Bike spaces, it's always handy to have extra room, especially when locking the front wheel and frame. This Lock delivers durability with fairly light weight, I'm sure a sledgehammer would knock it right off, but then again most locks would give in to the hammer. I recommend this one for mid-level security, wouldn't trust a super expensive bike to it though.

Good lock, bad lock-keeper. rating

The lock itself is great, but if you want to be able to attach it to your bike frame for storage, pick a different one. It comes with a piece that you can screw onto the frame of your bike, and the lock slides onto that piece so that you don't have to worry about carrying a big lock around. One problem with this piece is that it absolutely will not fit on a large-framed bike like a mountain bike, even with extra-long screws. The other problem is that the piece attaches to the side of the lock instead of the base, so the length of the lock must run parallel to the part of the bike frame it is attached to. Therefore, the only part of most bike frames that will be long enough to accommodate this lock is the top bar between the seat and handle bars. But to keep all of that clear of the brake and gear lines that run along the frame in that place, you have to install the lock-keeper sideways, so the lock is in the way of your legs while you ride. Basically, unless you have a bike with an extremely large but thin frame, you won't be able to use the lock-keeper to store your lock.
