Inside diameter of Kryptonite Evolution 4 Disc Padlock?
Anybody have one of these and willing to measure it? I'm asking about the padlock that comes with the New York Noose, not the U-lock of similar name. Trying to figure out before buying which tube of my bike I could clip the padlock itself arund. Thanks.

I don't think you need to clip the padlock to the bike. Just clipping it to the last link in the chain will prevent the noose from slipping off.
that being said, it's roughly 2-2.25 in inside diameter.

Thanks for the information, that diameter will do what I want. And the point of clipping it to the bike is to extend the usable length. If you wrap the noose around an object, and pass the free end through the wheel and clip the lock to the seatstay or one of the rear triangle tubes, you effectively get at least another 8 inches to work with as opposed to wrapping the free end around some part of the bike and locking it back onto itself. It seems to me that could make an important difference with the 2'3" model of the New York Noose, which everyone says is great but too short. And while those tubes are thin, breaking them would still ruin the bike for a thief.
