Reddit reviews Kryptonite Evolution Mini-7 Heavy Duty Bicycle U Lock w/ 4’ KryptoFlex Double Loop Bike Cable

What are you going to be using it for?

I have a kryptonite mini 7+cable and it's good for brief trips to the store/bar/etc. However if you're using it for a commuter and locking in the same place everyday at the same time, ymmv. Probably overkill for a sub-$50 ride, but under-safe for something nicer on a daily basis.

Hey thanks for the video, the lock I use is this kryptonite new-u evolution mini 7

But I'm honestly still unsure if I want to keep it as I can't fit both my wheel and part of my frame at any point on my bike, but have been locking the frame and cabling both wheels lately. I sort of want to get a larger one so I can do the modified sheldon, but worried wider will also mean longer, so more room to fit shit that I can't really fill.

All of this considering my LBS owner implied the area to be very low-crime in terms of bike thefts, and that the bike will never be left alone in public more than 15-20 minutes while in the store, I've been trying to convince myself it's good enough. If I had a $1,000+ road bike i'd probably bring that bitch into the store with me, but felt silly buying a $200 lock for an entry level $400 commuter bike.

The only other option that seemed worth while was a heavy chain due to very few places to lock the bike, couldnt find much stuff about them online
