I need help choosing a lock
I want to ride my bike to a movie, I am not sure about the crime rate around the theatre as i have never ridden my bike there before. I have a Kryptonite Kryptolock Series 2 that I use to secure the rear wheel through the frame and the rack.
I want to get a second U lock to lock the front wheel through the wheel, frame and to the bike rack. I have QR wheels on the front and back.
I need a lock that would be just small enough to lock the frame, wheel and then to the rack, but not to big that there will lot's of room inside the lock.
Can anyone recommend a decent lock that won't break the bank?

Abus Bordo X-plus. Good protection, easy to carry, but long enough to lock both the frame and a wheel to a rack, or even a post.
It is also long enough to lock the frame to a thick post (one that doesn't fit any U-lock).
