My bike was ripped off last week in Pasadena at lunch time - BROAD DAYLIGHT!! I'll be getting a new bike and new lock soon. This thread has been very helpful and that video of those guys snapping the chain locks was depressing. I'll skip the chain. I'm going to get a U-lock. I'd prefer a combination to a key though. I didn't see any discussions about combo vs. key here though.

I found this one from Kryptonite...

Kryptolok Combo U-Lock

I don't think it's as small as the Kryptonite Fahgettaboutit U Lock or the OnGuard Bulldog MINI Bicycle U-Lock. It sounds like smaller is better if using the rear wheel through the triangle type set-up.

Has anyone had any experience with the Kryptonite Kryptolok Combo U-Lock?? Any pros or cons? I'm hoping to avoid another bike getting stolen.
