I still use the Sheldon method with my mini u and cable unless I can find something that will also let me catch the chain stay. OTOH, I don't use that combo in a risky area and it is a lot more secure than what most people do.<br /><br />Regardless, a mini u and cable is half the weight of a full size u and may be harder to break. It is clearly a big step up over my minimalist cable locks which merely defeat the "jump on the bike and ride away" attack that requires no tools or premeditation.Steve Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13650405341304401203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2523357558654725888.post-60487622430199964072011-08-30T21:47:14.221-05:002011-08-30T21:47:14.221-05:00I'm actually glad someone else tested the Shel...I'm actually glad someone else tested the Sheldon lock and posted video--I made some preliminary tests including cutting through a rim easily, but had mixed feelings about going further. I also like your solution to the two keys question, although I still think there may be a market for selling two matched U-locks that use the same key. No more Sheldon locking for me.
