Abus's link lock aint like any other locks. I mean look at it. They went out of the box, came back in and created a beauty! This would look so fixed if each links were to be coated in different bright colours, like a rainbow for the you-know community, or maybe just one nice colour for all the links.. oooh, that would be a huge trend. Would definitely look better when holstered on thy belt than the Kryptonite's one. Another good thing about it is that all you need is the link lock and a memory of 4 digits. That's it, man. To be honest, i think theres more insecurity when carrying a key. I have the ABUS Granit and that requires a key to get it opened. I've lost one already, so now im left with my last one. At random times i'd like to check if I have my key or not, and that is what makes it uncomfortoble. But a memory wouldn't go anywhere.
But then again, that looks ugly doesn't it? And i bet it'll scratch the paint if its set on the same part of the bike. I heard that before you actually lock the bike and links up, when it's loose, it is loose, man. The link would fiddle around and make it frustrating to lock cause the weight of the links plus the momentum would just make it swing. Quite annoying.
