Description

18mm hardened MAX-PERFORMANCE STEEL SHACKLE resists bolt cutters and leverage attacks Big city cyclists need big city protection, as would-be thieves aren't intimidated by just any bicycle lock. Enter the Kryptonite New York Fahgettaboutit U-lock, which features an 18mm hardened Max-Performance steel shackle designed to resist bolt cutters and leverage attacks. Ideal for anyone who lives in moderately high crime areas, the New York Fahgettaboutit boasts a maximum 10 ranking on the Kryptonite 1-10 lock comparison system, which ranks the varying levels of security offered by the company's product range. A lock that ranks 1 on the Kryptonite scale might work if you live in the burbs and have a Rottweiler parked next to your bike or motorcycle. However, city dwellers demand extreme protection, which is why the New York Fahgettaboutit is built for serious deterrent security. The U-lock also offers such security-enhancing features as a high-security disc- style cylinder; an oversized, hardened steel sleeve over the crossbar for double security; double deadbolt locking for extensive holding power; and a center keyway that defends against leverage attacks. And as a bonus, the lock comes with three keys, one of which is lighted with a high-intensity bulb that makes it easy to unlock the Fahgettaboutit after dark. Other features include a protective vinyl coating, a sliding dust cover that protects and extends the cylinder life, and dimensions of 3.25 by 6 inches. The Legendary Durability of Kryptonite Locks The first big test for Kryptonite locks came in 1972, when Kryptonite founder Michael Zane directed the Second Avenue Bicycle Shop in New York City to lock a three-speed bicycle to a signpost in Greenwich Village. Although thieves immediately stripped all of the bicycle's removable parts, the bicycle itself remained for 30 days and 30 nights. The Kryptonite lock and the bike frame were still in place, even though the lock had been attacked numerous times. The publicity gave Kryptonite the boost it needed and forever changed the face of bicycle security. Twenty-two years later, Kryptonite returned to the streets of the Big Apple to test its latest innovation, the New York lock. In April 1994, the New York Post laid down the ultimate challenge: Could Kryptonite's New York lock last 48 hours on the toughest streets of New York? In a city where more than 100,000 bikes are stolen each year, Kryptonite and the Post locked a brand new, bright green Univega road bike worth $600 to a parking meter in the East Village--the Bermuda Triangle of New York bicycle thievery. For a full 48 hours, the bike remained locked on the corner of Avenue A and 11th Street. Zane and Neil McDaid, director of product development and design for Kryptonite, watched from around the corner as the bike came under every possible means of assault, stumping thieves at every turn. After 48 hours the bike remained intact except for the gear derailleur, which had been stripped off. The lock showed definite signs of abuse, but it had not failed. The New York lock had met the Post's challenge. Not satisfied with the length of the test, Zane moved the bike to SoHo for another six days and, finally, uptown near the Lincoln Center. Even in these high-theft areas the properly locked bike lasted another three weeks before being pulled off the streets by Zane and McDaid. The Post also ran the New York lock through a battery of street tests using common bike theft tools: a 4-foot bolt cutter, a crowbar, and a hammer. The non-Kryptonite locks cracked in seconds, but all methods failed on the New York lock, even the monstrous bolt cutter, which was rendered useless with large dents in its jaws. About Kryptonite In the early 1970s, Michael Zane was a free-spirited, bearded kid with a VW van and a big idea for a new kind of lock. He traveled thousands of miles showing the unique U-shaped locking device and spreading his passion for bicycle security to bike dealers all around the country and forged lifetime relationships. The company soon expanded its product line to include power sports, hardware, and snow sports security. Through innovative product designs, cutting-edge marketing savvy, legendary customer service, and pure fanaticism for security, Kryptonite grew with a cult-like following. In 2001, the company that was started in a VW van was purchased by industry giant Ingersoll Rand and became a flagship brand in the company's Security Technologies sector. Publications such as Bicycling, Fortune, The Wall Street Journal, US News & World Report, and a host of others continued to tout Kryptonite products as the best on the market. The company's dedication to its customers is best represented by its actions during the fall of 2004, when it was discovered that the industry-standard tubular cylinder could be compromised, at times, with a household item. Kryptonite flew into action, created a voluntary lock exchange program, and replaced more than 400,000 locks in 21 countries for free. In essence, the company redesigned the equivalent of nine years worth of new products in just 10 short months. Kryptonite is the only company in the world that offered such a comprehensive plan to customers, taking its "legendary customer service" pledge to new heights.

  • Serious Lock
Size: Mini Style: Original Pattern Name: Bike Lock
I commute on bike daily and was looking for a lock that would allow me to lock my bike outside all day and not have anyone mess with it. I read the reviews of all the other locks and found example after example of situations where someone would break the lock. I was looking at the baddest, most serious lock there is. My bike, that I use for commuting, is only worth about $300...and this lock was close to $100. Seems not to be a good tradeoff but I look at it this way - I don't want the hassle and inconvenience of having to replace a bike that was stolen and for that it is worth the price. I had considered getting a beater bike that no one would ever steal but I really didn't want to give up reliability of a fairly new bike. This is a heavy heavy lock. It is also quite short (better to restrict leverage to break it). I had a hard time trying to figure out how to lock both the frame and rear wheel. I had to thread some of the spokes and the smallest rear triangle of my bike and then barely cleared the bike rack. I use a Krytonite cable lock for the front wheel and frame yet again. The point is to deter anyone from trying to deal with your bike and between the two locks I think I've assured that. The lock is a bit fussy about opening with the key. It has to be inserted all the way in but somehow gets caught up sometimes partially inserted. Again the two biggest issues are the weight (but I knew that) and the short size (have to be creative about figuring out how to secure a bike). Very well made. So after observing some people on BART (local commuter rail) I figured that I could lock the lock to my bike's front triangle as a DIY bike lock holder. This helps b/c in my backpack I was worried it was going to damage my chromebook. ... show more

  • A solid (read heavy) lock that gives total peace of mind even when locking up in rough parts of town
Size: Mini Style: Original Pattern Name: Bike Lock
This is a seriously heavy lock offering top-notch security and peace of mind when locking up your ride. After a number of bike thefts occurred in my neighborhood (Boston) in which U-locks were cut or picked I decided to spring for the highest security I could get short of paying a retired linebacker to look after my bike. My first impression when this arrived was wow... this is heavy. Coming from a Kryptonite galvanized chain lock I thought I was used to carrying around a heavy lock. This weighs in around five pounds, and when combined with the 3/8" Kryptonite security cable I end up carrying around 6lbs in security equipment on daily rides. This may be excessively heavy for some riders and in most cases will require extra space in your backpack when riding around (there is no mounting hardware provided). As a result I do not ride with this when going for longer rides out of the city, though security is generally less of a concern on those rides. That said, on inner-city rides and when running errands in town I have complete faith that if I lock my bike up in a visible area it will be exactly where I left it when I return. While the price may be high for some, this kind of peace of mind is hard to put a price on. I also like the lighted feature on the main key that comes with the lock as it makes unlocking in poorly-lit areas much easier. ... show more

  • The "Fahgettaboudit" phrase is no joke.
Size: Mini Style: Original Pattern Name: Bike Lock
Great thing to look out for when buying a quality U-lock is if the base double locks to the U. Many inexpensive U-locks have a bent side and a lockable side to the U. The thief only needs to cut ONE side and they are home free. The "Fahgettaboudit" locks both sides of the U. Meaning, the thief must cut through 18mm of steel, TWICE! That is 36mm of cutting. This lock is SOLID, and serves as my primary lock. This lock is NOT practical for "light" rides. (Weighs just under 5 pounds) The "Fahgettaboudit" phrase is no joke. This thing will secure your property. However, you must use the lock properly. This is how I lock up my bike: The "Fahgettaboutdit" secures my rear wheel to my chainstay. (I slide the U from one side of the bike and "catch" both chainstays and the wheel. This way, my rear wheel is secure.) I also picked up a "Kryptonite 720018210610 KryptoFlex 3/8" x 7' 1007 Double Loop Security Cable" from Amazon. The KryptoFlex Security Cable travels through the front wheel, rear rack, and saddle rails, the two looped ends secure back to the "Fahgettaboudit" U-lock. (This way, my accessories are secure, as well as my front wheel.) I use another U-lock to connect the frame to an immovable object. Remember that NO LOCK is fool proof; if someone wants your bike, they will find a way. Do NOT rely on other people to intervene if someone is hacking your lock. Make sure you do research on the "Anti-theft protection" that Kryptonite offers. (In my opinion, they make it difficult to claim money). If you are using this lock, in addition to other security measures. Your bike will be protected. **Check out the Kryptonite "The New York Legend Chain" if you are looking for other strong alternatives. Cheers! ... show more

  • TOUGH, WORKS WITH MASERLOCK MOUNT, SMALL
Size: Mini Style: Original Pattern Name: Bike Lock
First impression : "This thing is HUGE, HEAVY, how am I ever going to mount this on my bike?" Well, you CAN mount it. Use the Master Lock 8351D Smart Bracket. It works like a charm. You'll pay $4 on Amazon to buy the bracket. When you get it, take out the two screws from the shackle portion of the mount and throw them away. Then go to the hardware store and pay $1 for two M4 30mm bolts. If you use those to mount the hardware on the shackle, it works great. See my pictures, and more info on my review of the Master Lock 8351D Smart Bracket. The lock itself is heavily reviewed on the web - no need for me to repeat that here. BUT seriously consider WHAT you are going to lock your bike to. You cannot use this on a lamp post, and I have great doubts about whether it will work on a parking meter -- the lock is just too small. Check my uploaded images and you'll see the dimensions. I lock it to a very strong street sign at work, but it's a tight fit. You may want to measure your "fixed device" and bike frame and do the math before getting this, and make sure it will fit for you. If I get to try this with a parking meter I'll update my review. Highly recommended - but make sure to buy the mount, and check the size issue before you buy. Well, 1 year later I still have not had occasion to lock this to a parking meter - but I seriously doubt it will work. The parking meters here are just too thick for this to get around. I always pick a secure street sign at my workplace, and the few other places where I regularly ride. This just snugly fits around the post on standard street signs. Please research that issue carefully before you buy - make sure you can verify that it can get around whatever you need at your workplace or park -- it is a SMALL U-lock, but a great one. UPDATE 8/2/16 - six years later. By the way, my mount setup [Master Lock 8351D Smart Bracket.] 6 years later still is working without a hitch - that is definitely the way to go! slides right on the bike, and has never fallen off. And I've finally gotten around to getting a few pics showing the lock at a large handrail at work (1.5" diameter pole), and a signpost that I use every day for my lockup. ... show more

  • New York Forget About this lock
Size: Mini Style: Original Pattern Name: Bike Lock
It is a really strong lock. It will definitely protect your bike. However, there are some major cons: -Rusts extremely easy and the lock gets stuck. This can be REALLY bad if your bike is stuck locked up. -The keyhole guard is flimsy. It broke one night preventing me from opening the keyhole until I got some small allen wrenches to open it up. Kryptonite sent me a replacement, but it also broke. Semi-cons: -It is REALLY heavy. You will have to carry it in a backpack because its so heavy. This is something to be expected though if you want a lock this strong. -Small size makes it hard for thieves to get leverage, but it also makes it hard to lock up larger bikes. Pros: -Really strong. Thieves won't bother with this. -Comes with an excellent set of keys (with a built in light on one) I would avoid this lock. It rusts too easily to justify the price. EDIT: Kryptonite replaced the lock for free. That deserves an extra star ... show more

  • Great Bike Lock
Size: Mini Style: Original Pattern Name: Bike Lock
I purchased the Kryptonite Mini Fahgettaboudit U-Lock just recently. This bike lock is as good as it gets folks. I did a ton of research and looked the world over and i finally settled on this. I live in a suburban area but there are a lot of business and alot of people that live here and we are just outside of the city. The problem i encountered was that i just bought a Trek road bike for 600 dollars and it is worth at least double all the bikes i would lock up next to at school. And i have had my bike stolen there before so i know theft is something to worry about. I figured that if i used this lock and also some component locks like Pinhead locks that no one would be able to steal anything on my bike. Since my bike is at least double the price of all the bikes around it i needed at least double the security. The thing about this lock is that it is thicker than any other that i have seen in my life. All locks can be cut or broken but you have to think like a theif would ;do i want to spend an hour getting a great expensive bike or spend five minutes with these cable locked cheap bikes and get 5 bikes. Sadly the idea is you dont have to out run the bear just out run the guy next to you if you get what i mean. I highly recommend this lock it is great and has kept my bike safe. Make sure to get a cable or additional lock to secure other things like your seat and your wheels. And if you don't feel like carrying two locks all the time get component locks there are tons out there and not too many people use them so the common thief doesn't know how to defeat it really which makes your bike much safer in my opinion. Good Luck! ... show more

  • Wow, this is one heck of a lock
Size: Mini Style: Original Pattern Name: Bike Lock
The first thing that I noticed when I received this lock was its sheer weight. It is impressively heavy, so throwing it in a backpack is probably not the best option. I will be making/buying a bracket to attach it to my frame asap. I am impressed with the build quality; the key works smoothly and there is a satisfying click-in mechanism. I appreciate nice details like a sliding lock cover and even a spare key with built-in light. Also, the colors are great for attracting attention to the massive lock and intimidating thieves. After my beloved mountain bike was stolen, I wanted my new security system to be obnoxiously good. I use this U-Lock to secure my back tire and frame to the bike rack. Then I run the Master Lock 86D Looped Cable, 8-Foot x 3/8-Inch through both tires, the frame, and the U-lock in a figure-eight. Finally, the cable's ends are secured with the Master Lock 187XD Titanium Padlock, 2-5/16-Inch Wide, Black. Having a cable and a U-Lock means thieves need to have multiple tools to get the bike free, and requires them to spend more time. The hope is this system also works as a deterrent, so the thief is more likely to pick another (less-secured) bike instead. PROS: Heavy duty Small size (prevents thieves from getting a jack in there) Vibrant coloring Nice features CONS: Very heavy Doesn't come with mounting bracket I can easily see why this lock is considered the best U-Lock on Amazon. I highly recommend it. ... show more

  • Hefty hardware for sure
Size: Mini Style: Original Pattern Name: Bike Lock
Although any bike can be stolen if someone wants it bad enough, this lock will certainly slow the thief down. You would need a grinder or a torch to cut it off. Hopefully they will choose another bike to steal instead of yours. If you're using this lock you know you're doing the best you can to protect your property. This lock is very heavy. It doesn't come with a mount. I have strapped it onto my rear rack and also put it in a backpack. You certainly know you are carrying something when this is in your pack! I think you could use this to defend yourself if you had it in your hand. It's a monster for sure. You have to have your bike right up against a post to use this lock. This is a good thing because it doesn't leave much room for a pry attack against the lock. Sometimes it's hard to find a place to lock my bike where I can get the bike close enough to lock it up properly. I also carry a short cable just in case I need to lock it to something large but we know that cables are all but useless in preventing theft so I would never use one in a high risk location. The lock operates very smoothly. There is a small plastic cover that goes over the keyhole to help keep dirt and water out. I think this is a good idea. It's easy to slide it over the keyhole. I use this lock in conjunction with Pitlock wheel skewers, seat post bolt and headset bolt. That way I can just lock the rear wheel through the triangle or the seat tube to a post and I don't have to worry about the front wheel being stolen. ... show more
