Hello MB.com
I am just starting my first MB project and know that security is going to be a big concern. I have gotten permission (at least for the time being) to lock up my bike indoors relatively close to my office which is good, but I still want to securely lock it and be able to lock it anywhere else I go.
I bought a Kryptonite Fahgettaboudit lock from amazon since there's not really anything better out there. However the listing didn't say anything about it being the MINI version (6" vs 8" i've come to find out) It did list the model number which I should have looked up but I saw other "mini" listings and assumed it was the bigger one. I'm using it on a beach cruiser and if I lock it around the frame and rear wheel it only has like .5-1" of space left which means I can't actually lock it to anything without yet another kryptonite lock. However I also have a cheap kryptonite cable lock. So I'm looking for your guys experienced opinion. Should I use the cable lock to lock up the wheels to the frame (just barely fits) and the mini to lock the frame to a bar or should I return the mini and get the full size version?
If you give an answer please say why you have that opinion. Thank you all.
I don't know how much of a difference those ~2" would make to locking it to something. It still might not be big enough without using multiple locks. I'll take pictures of fittings if needed.
