 So far so good for a scooter January 8, 2010
Jerome C. Adney (Baltimore, MD)
I actually bought this for a Honda Metropolitan scooter and not a bicycle. I bought the scooter last summer and with it I picked up a cable lock to keep it secure. I have a private alley behind my house and figured that the lack of visibility and basic deterrence of the cable lock would be enough to keep me safe.
Well...over the New Year's weekend I went out to grab the scooter for some errands and saw that someone had cut nearly all the way through the cable lock. They must have been spooked before they could finish the job because there were only a few threads of metal left in the cable.
I headed into town and got what I had been planning on getting all along--the Kryptonite New York chain. It's not cheap. It's not light. But if someone wants to cut this they will need an angle grinder and a good 15-20 minutes of undisturbed workspace. I feel like the price is worth it to know that my scooter is most likely safe. If someone really wants to go through the trouble of cutting this thing and stealing my scooter, they can have it. I have insurance anyway. I just don't want to make it easy on them.
The only downside is that for a scooter this is a little short. I can get it through the back wheel and around a phone pole if I park it in just the right position but anything else is out of the question. I would have loved one with another foot or two made specially for scooters. As it stands, I will still rest assured that my scoot is safe for the night.

This lock will deter any potential thief. There is no way anybody will be able to break through this lock without a cutting torch. The only drawback is its quite heavy, so don't buy it if you are planning on carrying it with you. Great for at home or at work.
Very Heavy , Sturdy , Good against Muggers October 29, 2009

I just received this lock today and was heavy! (15½ pounds!)
While I was unlocking my bike a guy came up and tried to mug me at night at 8 PM. This guy came up to me with a knife and said give me your stuff. Before I turned I said " Oh yeah?", I then proceeded to grab the chain and lock and started swinging violently and said " What now mother f****r!", the mugger got scared , dropped his knife and ran away.
Pros: Strong
Cons: Bulky , Heavy (15.5 pounds)
The NY Noose is better (4ft 6") and "Only" 8lbs February 23, 2009

If you need a long super secure chain to lock your bicycle or motorcycle shed a couple of pounds and get the 4ft 6" NY Noose. The Noose has a loop on one end so you can run the chain through it. It takes an extra moment to lock your bike, but it's more flexible in ways to lock the bike and it weighs less. Both chain systems use the same basic lock so no savings there.
Don't get just the chain and one of those big ULocks, then the lock becomes the weak link in the chain so to speak, and then what is the point of carrying all this weight around?
Either way your frame and wheels will still be there when you return even if they've stripped off all the other parts... Hopefully just the sight of the lock will cause the thieves to just pass on your bike and take something easier like a car.
Heavy Duty Bike Chain February 5, 2009
Jennifer Stratford
This is a serious bike chain. It makes me feel safe when locking up my bike. However, the downside is that the chain is very, very heavy. I've found putting the chain around my waist while biking helps. Overall, this is a good bike chain if you don't mind the extra weight.
