Locks that work

Anyone tried one of the Xena Bullett XUL series locks listed up there ^^^? Not sure about the alarm thing, but they look ace. Not sure about stainless steel compared to case hardened steel as far as security goes and not being rubber covered they'll scratch the crap out of your bike. Might stick to a Kryptonite NY Mini...

AdamM, to be honest, I had my misgivings about using Stainless Steel to make a U-lock.

But upon looking up various types of steels, and the strengths of them, I came across info on Wikipedia that claims that Stainless Steel has a very similar Ultimate Strength to titanium, though of course, for the same size, titanium is far lighter. There is a chart halfway down the page.

Wiki: Tensile Strength

I can now say that I would trust the Xena Bullett XUL series; and I think the alarm is a brilliant touch.

Stainless steel has excellent anti-corrosive qualites also.
