Good lock for winter?

[JeanCoutu]

I've been using a cable/chain with fair combination padlock to lock my icebikes, the main reason being that I can un-freeze such a lock by clamping it in my hands for a minute. I'd love to use my Kryptonite U lock but if that freezes up I'd be screwed. Do good locks that won't really freeze even exist?

Never had a lick of trouble with my Kryptonite U-lock last winter. I just kept it well-oiled with "wet" chain lube.

+1 for kryptonite. But I do spray the inside with a biodegradable wd40 alternative (ReleaseAll it's called).

I always think my bikes are a lot safer in winter. For the same reason I think my house is safer. Less kids are willing to loiter around in bitter cold :).

JEAN, clean your lock out with liberal amounts of silicone spray, then wipe dry. You will NEVER have issues in cold temps with the mechanism sticking.

Whatever you do don't use an OnGuard/Magnum lock! Between my wife and I we've had three of them freeze up on us so they couldn't be opened. I even oiled them regularly. Grrrrr....
