I find that a bit tight. The Kyptonite mini has a version that has a 5" shackle and one that has a 7" shackle. The 5" is more portable, but the 7" has a bit more reach and will fit a pole better. Measure where you intend to lock it.

I was just thinking about this. I was going to give Kryptonite a call today anyhow. I have 4 locks for my family that are keyed alike and I was wondering if I could buy longer shackles so I could use either. That would be helpful.
