How to carry the cable for a U-Lock?
Hello all. A couple days ago, I upgraded my cable lock to an Onguard mini u-lock. It's great, I feel a lot more secure. The thing is, it came with a cable, which is also great, the bike racks at school are too thick the fit the wheel and the post. So, I use the cable to lock up the front wheel and attach the whole thing to the post. The thing is, I need help figuring out how to attach the cable. The u-lock came with a frame attachment, so that's not a problem, but I cannot figure out a way to attach the cable to my bike, with it falling off. My old cable lock was obviously able to lock to itself, so I could wrap it around the top tube, but the new, lockless cable is thicker, so less flexible, and even if I could wrap it around, it would quickly come undone. For now, I'm carrying the cable in my backpack, but that's a PITA to take off my backpack, lock up, and then put it back on, especially when I have a lot of stuff to bring to school. I realize I'll probably have to bite the bullet and keep carrying it in my backpack, but does anyone have a solution that they use for carrying a lockless cable?
