  Interestingly, the author of this thread:

  http://www.glasgowfixedgear.com/discussion/1990/how-to-lock-your-bike/p1

  claims (or seems to suggest) that the lock in edscoble's photos is larger than the Fahg. Perhaps he's mistaken? Though he could be referring to a lock which he mentions earlier in his post...I can't tell.

  Thanks GA2G.

  I'm wondering if my frame tubes will be skinny enough (Aventon Mataro frame) and I'm just not certain. I think they might be too wide in most places. I do like the compactness of the Fahg, I just don't know if I'll end up having spend a bunch of extra time searching for something narrow enough in the city to lock up to.

  I'm going to be using two locks regardless, it's simply a question of which of the the 3 (M18, Standard, or Fahg) I'd like to use as my primary lock (ideally with which to lock up rear triangle). And I'd use a separate lock for front wheel+frame.

  I like that the Fahg and M18 are 18mm --but I think the M18 is a tad long for my needs and the Fahg might be a tad short as well as narrow. Also wondering if 2mm difference between Fahg and Standard is really a deal-breaker. Surely if someone has the time and tools to grind through a 16mm lock, an extra 2mm isn't much of a bother?

  Going to go do some measuring now.

  Thanks again.

  Hello from Canada,

  Thanks for the helpful thread GA2G & company.

  I'm wondering if someone could help me identify the lock pictured in these two images from edscoble way back on page 28.

  M18? NY Standard? Fahg?

  I'm looking to purchase one of these 3 locks and the deciding factor is going to be viability with respect to locking rear wheel+frame to a number of different posts throughout the city. My concern is that the Fahg will drastically restrict the number of places I will be able to lock up my (track) bike using this method (frame+rear wheel+ locking post). I suppose I could use a Fahg for front wheel+frame+locking post and a supplementary cable or d-lock for rear wheel? Anybody using this method?

  The size of the lock in the images below looks like it will allow me the kind of convenient range of locking possibilities which I desire (for frame+rear wheel+locking post).

  Thanks again. !
