Oh crap. Hehee. I read this last night. Turned around and showed my roomie the movies that were posted on the first page. A guy in our hall WON a Raleigh M40 at a club Tuesday night. We grabbed a BIC pen (total cost $.00 - it was a freebie), and went outside to the bike racks. Turns out he uses a beefy Master Lock with a special chain. This guy across the hall came out, and is like, what's up. We told him. He offered his lock for use to try it on (he was a die-hard ULock fan after his bike got stolen with a chain lock last year). He has a DiamondBack Coil, with a Kryptonite "Krypto-Lock". We disassembled the pen (10sec), fit the barrel into the lock (5sec), twisted it around for a while, everybody else there was starting to laugh at me, saying it wouldn't work, then CLANK the U part fell to the ground (25sec). Everyone's jaw DROPPED.

The problem is.... this was just a test, now the guy's lock is ******! The inner part that the barrel of the key (or pen) goes around, is turned 90 degrees, so the little tab doesn't line up, you can't fit the key in..... His lock was stuck unlocked, then we got the U part to go in and lock. Now its stuck locked. We agreed its only right to buy him a new one. Went to the bike store. They wouldn't SELL us a ulock. They said they are pulling them out of their store. We bought him a cable lock...
