Okay, So I've made my way through this entire thread, finally, and I don't feel much closer to knowing what lock to get. (Possibly because I am WAY too tired not to think clearly). Anyway,
I currently use a Krypto evo mini (and cable for front wheel) but want to upgrade to a chain or armoured cable as a second (or primary) lock. I am about to get my frame re-sprayed and therefore my bike will look nicer. Currently I sometimes borrow my partner's Abus Steel O Flex, but this thread has me doubting them, plus it's too big for my waist.
All the chains listed here are said to be for leaving (at work or home). I want suggestions on a chain for carrying on my waist. The Almax III 0.7m is only 1kg more than the Steel O flex so don't think it'd be too bad, but is it long enough to get around the lamp posts? And if I add some extra rings/carabiners so it will fit around my waist, are they strong enough to not fail while riding?
Any one have any experience with that? or other suggestions on chains/cables?
thanks
