While not a D-lock, I did also use a Kryptonite chain lock at university, the same one as in our list of the best bike chain locks, leaving it on campus permanently for a whole year exposed to the elements and, with only the occasional squirt of GT85, it was no worse for wear for it.Įven the best locks are unable to protect your bike completely, but at least with one of these, you’ll only have to replace it if some unscrupulous person manages to hack their way through it rather than when it wears out or jams, at which point it will probably be a secondary worry to the loss of your bike. It's no great surprise that Kryptonite locks feature in our list of the best bike locks.
While I am unaware of how many thieves my own Kryptonite lock has deterred it has been a constant companion for my commutes and city riding for longer than I care to remember, and is only showing cosmetic wear the lock mechanism is still buttery smooth. Tough, gritty, urban environments beset with bike thieves who’ll stop at nothing to steal your pride and joy.
