Customer Review

Hello. I bought the Kryptonite Mini 7 for my Morrison trekking bike.
Yesterday it was delivered, and it met my expectations fully.

It's really a total processed very solid. This gives to a total of three keys. Two slender key and one of the infected in a holder, which is reminiscent of a small version of your car key.

In this key, a blue, very bright LED bedindet. Another buyer describes it so that the LED often "hooked" and goes on the button immediately after pressing. That's me exactly, and when pressed again some soulful button, one has a dark blue light that provides sufficient light in the dark (when you need it for). So be it. I use a normal key, because they are easily slimmer. My bike I do not rule from at dark, lonely places. I think the correspondingly favorable selected location is the very best anti-theft device.

The keys should be said that every lock has its own individual key number. One can be Castle (though under disclosure of personal data) the manufacturer to register the net. In case of loss of keys could then relate correspondingly keys there. (If you want that so) Also you lose any warranty claims, when referring the keys from the manufacturer.

Also you get a three-part, good manual. First, a Warranty Description, with hints on how to best secure your bike in the opinion of the manufacturer. Then a description of how to fix the lock using the supplied bracket on the frame, and a description of key light incl. Instructions for battery replacement. There are installed LR 1130 1.5 V alkaline batteries. Alternatively, AG 10, 398, or LR 54 batteries.

The bracket is plastic coated. I read on the net (Ökotest) that plasticizers were detected in this plastic, which are probably also according to a pollutant. I do not want to lick the castle or something, yes. So for me this point is relatively unimportant. The coating protects the frame in any case from scratches.

The bracket can be separated from the closing mechanism komlett. On the one hand it has to be hooked on the other hand he concludes geradeverlaufend into the actual castle. A very solid locking mechanism. Closing and ovens by key is easy and problem-free. The installed locking pin acts also very robust.

The black cap at the closing mechanism can be rotated so that no dirt or moisture can penetrate directly into the lock.

To mount: The mounting is also entirely of solid materials. Plastic, metal, rubber and Cordura. They can be rotated, so that it can be bolted to the frame according to the individual wishes.

First one so chooses an installation. Man holding the base plate to the frame and first leads the rubber band as a backing to the frame. Then cuts (if necessary) the rubber band to size with scissors you.
Then passing the fastening strap around the frame and pass it through the metal eyelet of the base plate, the rubber band leads also to the frame as a base, pulling the whole thing firmly at attention.
Then you take the plastic upper shell and screw this now at the wheel with the supplied Allen wrench or Allen wrench.
Finally, cutting the Korduraband about a cm outside the cradle and merges the cut short by lighter to avoid a rippling. The bracket can be rotated by the way, by a few turns with the Allen solves the Schaube and the inner plate holds a finger so that it does not rotate.
Then place the Cryptonite on the holder until it clicks. Done.

The castle sits without wobbling, fixed on the bracket. It leaves again to frame any out - and forth, so you can push it very close to the frame.

The supplied cable is also Kunststoffumantelt and serves the additional protection of the wheel by putting it to a fixed object and thus can connect anywhere fixed his bike. At the ends of a aureichend great eye is attached by means of compression sleeve respectively. Here a splice would certainly be better. The sleeves also make a good impression, however. However, the rope can not be attached to the bracket. So it would have to separately in a backpack, or similar be carried.

Conclusion: good lock which is also assessed in journals and tests as "good". (You try the search engine of their choice) The orange color has certainly signal their effect on potential thieves that it is probably tricky here. As far as I have informed me, one already needs large guns as a flex, drill or a really big bolt cutters and a lot of time and energy to break the lock. Also Kältespray obviously does not work in this castle. I think it offers enough protection against theft for most life circumstances. As I said: The correct Abstellort's already the best assurance of the wheel, right?

My bike can be closed without problems at the rear wheel / frame / seat tube. The castle is then loosely capped at the wheel. So in any case, despite the small overall dimensions of the castle in order to make sure big enough the absolute majority of all the wheels locked.
It can not twist and actually offers no attack surface for Brecheisenangiffe or other twisting.

For just 40 euros incl. Shipping you get at least good, and absolutely solid processed quality bike lock with technical niceties like a well-designed holder, lock cylinder cover as Korrosiosschutz and adequate keys. Apart from a pair of scissors and a lighter one does not require additional tools for about ten minutes lasting assembly on the bike. The instructions are written in multiple languages ​​in order and of course with drawings. The illuminated keys is also a good, useful accessory if you need it for. For me personally, a nice gimmick.

5 stars and a buy recommendation from me !!!
