I have a Kryptonite series 2 U-lock and cable. It came with a frame lock which has long-since been lost.
Typically I've always carried the lock on its own in my rucksack, however now I'm looking to do longer journeys this appeals less, while I'll be using a nicer bike so will want to take the cable for added protection.
I've considered buying another (typically extortionately priced) "flexframe" mount to fit the lock to the bike frame, however I can't really see any practical place to put it. Anywhere inside the frame will foul the water bottle, while offset / outside looks good on paper, although I think I'll struggle for clearance if I fit it to the side of the seat tube.
I was also wondering about lashing it to the top of the panier rack somehow, but my feeble brain's not up to working out how today.
How do you carry your lock?
