mount shackle lock
I have a shackle lock which I'd like to have on
the frame. But the frame inner triangle is too small even with all bottle cages removed (besides, you don't want to remove 'em). I thought about hanging the lock from the downtube! The tube is too big for the original parts to squeeze around, but perhaps one can cut a pipe and then use that as a tube to hold the lock, after fastening the pipe to the downtube? On would just have to cut the tapes holding the wire and lead it next to the pipe. The bike is a Scott Scale 960 and the lock is 180x245mm, weight 1.5kg. The lock diameter is 18mm, but there is an obtrusive part at one place that is 29mm. I tried and it isn't below the pedal at the cranks vertical position, and also it doesn't hit the wheel. So it should work, right? But even tho I'm not riding this into the forest, with rocks and branches, it still don't feel 100% good... -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573 |

mount shackle lock
Another idea is to do the same thing, only to
the left or right of the top tube. This will add an imbalance of 1.5kg to the bike, but since it is so centered anyway, it won't matter, right? -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573 |

I don't know but many riders throw away the free holder and slip such locks through rear carriers: http://bikearlingtonforum.com/attach...3&d=1271453262 Or, most major brands have holders with off-axis mounting since about 1990: https://78.media.tumblr.com/87b620d1...FkV1spsahe.jpg -- Andrew Muzi www.yellowjersey.org/ Open every day since 1 April, 1971 |
