Carrying D Lock

[Downward]

Evening - Silly Question but I am getting miffed lugging round my D Lock in my Rucksack.

It does come with a mount which the instructions say is for the frame but I have no idea where it will even fit.

It's this Squire Urban

I used to have one under the seat facing front inside the frame,its out of the way there.

Where col says. Some of the clips/mounts are better than others though.

Try different places. Mine was too big for the top tube and seat tube but it fits fine on the seat post.

Don't forget some of the 'mounts' aren't up to mounting a heavy d-lock - mine goes in the rucksack !

My favorite is to mount it like this.

Edit: I don't know if you can do it with a squire mount.

It's such a pain, isn't it! I just carry it in whatever luggage I've got, but it really bugs me that I have to carry it around. I guess we should just see is a bit of extra training...

ooo Good Thinking
I am sure I can do it like that.
Either that or I may give the local police a call to see if they have any more going cheap (They did a thing at Work where they sold them for £5 but it was 1 per customer)

if you're not going that far you can just put it on your handlebars, or in rucksack. In pannier if you're taking one anyway. In truth if you're hybridding, the world's your oyster. But those frame mounts - you may as well use a chocolate kettle.

I have attached it like above - I'll see if it catches on my legs when I go out next.
Might just leave it in the locker at work it's easier.

If you put it on the handlebars becareful it doesn't catch on the headset area... mine did once as I was turning and I suddenly found the bike going a different direction to the one I wanted. Mines now on my rack since then 99% of the time.

The lock won't fit anywhere on the frame of my recumbent so I've simply got into the habit of carrying it in the bag which fits on top of my luggage rack and that works fine, especially as the top bag is always on the bike as it carries essentials like tools, inner tubes, water bottles and waterproof clothing.
