New York Fahgettaboudit Chain 1415 & New York Disc Lock

When this sucker showed up, the delivery guy, after putting the forklift away, came back and punched me in the face. I was not upset as I had just tried to pick the box up and realized I had put his life in danger by ordering this burley, tough, heavy bastard. The first time I took it out, slung over my shoulder like one of those huge automatic weapons slung by our favorite action movie stars, I inflicted $26,000.00 in damages to the bicycle rack I locked my bike to. When the police showed up to investigate the massive damages to the otherwise innocent rack, I merely swung the chain over my head and they made me their leader out of fear, and awe. And they were right. Two days later, I came out of a coffee shop to a disturbing scene: A craven thief had seen my bad-ass bike and tried to break this behemoth in order to steal it: he simply exploded. Needless to say, I had to find a hose to clean the 150-plus pounds of meat and guts and hair from my bike and the surrounding landscape. I was late to band practice and am considering legal action against the Kryptonite Corp for damages due to being summarily fired as the hamonica player for my (former) band. I am currently in talks with local organized crime figures as they want to rent or lease the chain from me on occasion to sink stool-pigeons, uncooperative football teams, and other undesirables in the river. Even when I leave it at home, I am no longer allowed to fly on domestic airlines as they feel the mere ownership of this unstoppable theft-ender makes me too dangerous for their formidable insurance policies to bear. And it's worth all this. This is the toughest, most evil bike lock ever conceived by mankind. It weighs in at 2,300 kilos and can (and has) withstand a 40 megaton nuclear detonation. The warnings on the package state clearly to NEVER store this chain in a pile because its intense density will trigger a major cosmological event generating a deadly black hole as the absolute cruelty displayed will fold in on itself and create a singularity. Plus if you lose your keys, they'll send you new ones.

I'm going to review the initial thoughts about this from the perspective of someone whocs wife has had 5 bikes stolen before we were marries and this is my first set of very expensive bikes and I did a bunch of research about this beforehand cause I'M NOT GONNA LOSE $2K CAUSE OF A BAD LOCK OR CHAIN. Note that I've only had this for a few days, so I cannot say how good it is about the actual test of time. That said, this thing...it's massive. I have two pedal assist e bikes that we bought and the links fit through the wheel spokes on each but barely. I am able to connect the chain through both bike frames and through both back wheels with this one chain. Mind you, it's HEAVY. Unless you want to get some serious gains from heaving this around every day, I would not suggest this as a typical lock to take with you. You COULD throw it over your shoulder but it'll eventually dig into your collar bone because it's so heavy. That said, I don't see someone getting through this unless they really know how to pick a lock or if I'm stupid enough to leave the bike locked up somewhere overnight in a place where no one will notice a grinder going at a chain for an hour. This is definitely a "leave the bike overnight in a garage" type of chain. Very happy to have gotten this one for the price it is. Again, this is too heavy to carry around every day, in my opinion. If you love the idea of carrying 20lbs around every day OR if your bike is super expensive and you need a real chain, then this is your perfect chain for a decent price. (Although I would also bring a serious U lock as well to use in tandem). Anyway, I'm happy and it's a good chain. Heavy and good, exactly what I wanted.

It’s Heavy! Holy cow ! I got it for my new Specialized Rock hopper to ride to the gym… omg it’s alot heavier than I anticipated. Also a lot more heavy duty. I am keeping it because it’s the most robust lock and chain I have ever seen. I put it around my neck to walk around and test the weight of it. It’s about 24 lbs… extremely heavy for biking unless you have an E bike. Going to throw it in my gym back pack and get an extra workout 🤣

I have an existing set that secured my bikes outdoors for 10 years, exposed to the elements like rain and the Las Vegas sun, and the lock shoes little to no rust! The locking mechanism has always been easy to use and it continues to work well…so I purchased another one, in a different color chain sleeve. This is hands down one of the best lock and chain units you can buy and it will definitely help to deter thieves given the weight of the chain alone. They’ll see the lock, a recognized brand, and they’ll think twice before making an attempt. This chain and lock set is excellent. They’ll look great for many years, as demonstrated from my previous kit that was in the elements for 10 years. It’s undoubtedly got some weight to it, and not something you can easily lug around without room in your bag - or you can wear it on your person like a messenger bag, which is what I do.

It’s strong, durable and well made. The protective sleeve protects my bike paint from the chain and is VERY much appreciated. Weight: Too large and heavy for me to use with ease. I find it difficult to hold all the parts in one hand in the correct position while also turning the key. I try to find a position where I can rest the parts on something—I usually a bike tire. Sometimes my knee. So, I don’t carry it daily. Otherwise, since my employers garage is secure and private, and I only take my bike to work, I leave the chain at home in my garage attached to a bike rack. However, if I ever need to park in a public lot or on the street, I’ll take this lock with me. Despite the weight and cumbersome mechanics, this is the price of security. It’s a good, strong lock

Super secure, just what i needed

Ich habe die richtige Entscheidung getroffen. Ich suchte ein maximal stabiles Schloss für mein Lastenrad, so dass das Gewicht des Schlosses nicht wichtig war. Hier bekommt man wirklich ein massives Schloss mit gutem Schliessmechanismus und allerlei Zusatzservices von Kryptonite. (Garantie, Versicherung, Ersatzschlüssel...) Das ist mir den Preis wert.

頑丈さは世界一です。 しかし、重い・・・。

OMG hard to decide how to score this. WOW this thing is heavy about 25 lbs. Certainly works though, just gotta have a knapsack to carry it

Correspond à la fiche descriptive mais deux points d'attention : - c'est lourd ; dans un sac à dos (pour un cycliste) cela peut-être pénible - la serrure est toujours aussi délicate Concernant le deuxième point, je possède déjà deux antivols de la marque j'ai donc un peu l'habitude ; il faut faire attention car en cas de blocage de la serrure, disqueuse obligatoire ! Donc : - ne jamais forcer la serrure - bien veiller à entretenir la serrure : aucune saleté ne doit entrer dedans et il faut mettre un coup d'huile de temps à autre - ne jamais forcer la serrure - si la serrure bloque un peu et qu'elle est propre (surtout au début), il faut mettre de l'huile, patienter, « agiter » la clef dans la serrure sans jamais forcer, et répéter cela jusqu'à ce que cela marche - ne jamais forcer la serrure - ne pas avoir d'ennemi : si quelqu'un vous en veut, il n'a qu'à mettre des saletés dans la serrure pour vous embêter
