Pros and cons

- Nylon sleeve protects paint and muffles rattle while riding
Cons
- At 3.6 kg heavy — better suited to fixed parking than daily carry
- 85 cm is tight around cargo-bike frames or wide NS racks
Kryptonite New York Fahgettaboudit Mini

- 18 mm hardened steel shackle — the thickest in its class, even professional bolt cutters fail
- Sold Secure Diamond, the highest Sold Secure rating (comparable to ART-3)
- Double-deadbolt locking with anti-drill and anti-pull disc cylinder
- Made for high-risk spots: stations, Amsterdam centre, Utrecht Centraal

- At 4.2 kg far too heavy to carry in a backpack every day
