So my bike lock is extremely broken
Hey guys,
My bike lock (A standard O-ring wheel lock) is extremely broken. I tried to open it like I normally would, but it didn't open, it tried forcing the key a little harder, and now the key is broken and stuck in there.
Now, with even more aggression, the cylinder in which the key goes, can spin around full circle but it still won't open. Any suggestions other than a saw? I only have a tiny hacksaw and it is going to take ages.

One like this: https://farm6.static.flickr.com/5213/...6cdbffe6_o.jpg , I probably didn't use the right term, in the Netherlands it's called a ringslot (ring lock).
And thanks for the advice

"o ring wheel lock" is probably something like the Axa Defender RL-

If you can unbolt it from the frame,you should be able to spin it around to where you can get to the 'loop' and either hacksaw it or clip it with big boltcutters.

The hasp is not hardened even on the defender the AXA premium model
so a new sharp hacksaw blade should do the job .
NB hacksaws only cut one way , they are not sandpaper.
push and release the pressure on the back stroke.
