I think the chain sucks. The only good use for it is locking several below average bikes together on your porch. The new extended mini u version 2 or whatever by kryptonite is what i'm looking to get so i can get the front wheel most anywhere (I hope). Before this came out, I was going to try that Soma one, but you have to spend a certain amount of money to even buy from them, so forget that. Are there any other slightly bigger than mini-u locks out there that still work the back pocket decently?
