I have the NY standard lock and honestly I don't like it. It might be a stout lock, but that thing so heavy that I don't want to carry it around and that's not going to do me any good. I mean if you don't mind the weight, then fine, but I end up taking my Kryptonite mini-7 around much more which is significantly lighter. The bad thing about the mini7 is that it cannot fit my rear tire and both seat stays and the parking meter post (the NY Standard lock will fit though).
