is it not meant to protect the bikes from being damaged by the lock?

my lock has a rubber coating all over it so it doesnt do any damage.

I'd imagine they simple removed the rubbery-sheath the lock's usually covered in and replaced it with leather.

Personally I'd think leather would be gentler on delicate paintjobs...

look like a Kryponite Evo Mini whose rubber cover been removed, fair does, I like the idea, not very useful thought, it's only a lock after all.

I don't think it's meant to protect anything, I just think a leather Mini-D would look awesome.

it's a cheap shitty aluminium lock, the have just put a leatherette sleeve over it. i wouldn't use it to lock a kiddies bike up for 5 minutes.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
