My Kryptonite cable has a seatpost clip mount. I store it there whenever it's not in use.

How does everyone store their bike locks while riding? The old kryptonite U-lock (just exchanged it for the current kryptolock atb) I had used a slide in frame mount that wasn't bad at all. Made a little noise but worked fine. This new mount they have is completely unmountable due to how much space it wastes and I'm a bit leery of the strength of the design... I currently don't have a rack and would like to be able to ride w/o a backpack for short runs so a on bike mounting solution would be nice! Am I doomed to the velcro type mounts or carrying a backpack?

unless i know ill be making a stop on the way home then i use one of those racks that fits to the seattube.

I have an OnGuard Bulldog U-lock on my commuter bike. I used the mount that comes with it. It's the style that has the collar that is held on to the U piece with a setscrew and that collar has slots that fit into a slot in the frame mounting bracket. At first I felt that this design was stupid and there was no way to mount it to my bike because it ran into everything. Then I had a thought: why not loosen the setscrew and turn it so that I could put the mount at an angle compared to the frame. Doing this I was able to place the lock in a way that it straddles the bottom bracket and doesn't get in my way nor does it get in the way of the function of the bike.

Attached picture tells more than a thousand words.

Do any of you have a lock integrated into the frame? Thoughts on this...

Carbon cranks on a commuter! Damn!

Since I ride a fixie, I've gotta do the true hipster thing. Put in on a belt loop, and just let it hang. If not that, than in the messenger bag it goes.

Not exactly. It's carbon over aluminum. If I were to go to town on those cranks and grind off all that carbon then it would be a set of aluminum cranks. Same goes for the handlebar on that bike. Needless to say, both parts look trick but they're heavy and I got them for next to nothing so they're on my commuter bike.
