Hold on, I might be totally wrong here, but if this thread's number one recommended lock - the Fahgettaboudit Mini - isn't on Sold Secure's list (apparently because Kryptonite doesn't submit it for the annual tests, obviously not because it wouldn't pass), then doesn't using one as your main bike-to-unmovable-object lock stand to invalidate most common bicycle insurance policies?
Obviously I want to use one, it's a great lock. Should I shop around for a different policy, call my insurers and ask if they'll make an exception, or use another Sold Secure lock as my number 2? I'd rather have the Fahg at the rear, and something like the Evo Mini at the front as number 2 (the Evo Mini isn't listed either .. crap!) but in this case to comply it couldn't just lock the wheel to the frame. What to do?
Ignore it and hope? I hope not!
Any ideas?
[Edit]
According to Wicksie, Sold Secure personally select the locks they deem worthy of testing, so it's not because Kryptonite didn't submit them. Also, I believe the tests are not, or not just, annual; Sold Secure review them every month.
