Does it damage the internal parts inside ??? I had the lock around the back part of the bike and recently decided to use the clamp that came with the lock. Did you happen to have an experience with the lock breaking ????

The lock itself will not break, but what can break is the U-lock mount. My Onguard U-lock mount was dust after about 4 or 5 months of riding. I now just throw the lock inside a bag.

Thats the reason I have kept it on the frame. I dislike taking it out of the bag. Since youre in Miami you should come check out some of the ongoing events from time to time =)
