Should I buy larger or smaller U-lock?
-
I use two U locks. One locks frame and back wheel to stationary object. Other locks frame and front wheel to stationary object.
-
God Damn It! 30+ years... I've been doing it all wrong - I remove front wheel and lock everything securely with one single U-Lock!!
I feel so foolish :( -
This video is great. - Thanks!

Do not use a U lock because after a week or so they start to refuse to lock and unlock. I bought a U lock and used it for about a week and then it would would not lock and hoa to force it to lock. When I came to unlock my bike it would not unlock. I had pull it against the frame if my bike to get it to come apart...I ended up scratcjing the frame of my bike. I'm not happy these locks are unpredictable. I'm going to invest in a good quality chain lock inatead.

Why in a well-lit area?
-
I have a fat tire bike and this shackle won't go around the real wheel nor is it long enough to secure to anything if going through it. What a pain.

At last... I'm glad that bike-locking company explains how to use their product )
