Stephen, what is this Maāam stuff?!? š
Iāve tried most of the dealers, but not the few that either donāt have a
website or seem to do a lot of business.
Our preference is absolutely to give the dealers the business. So if a dealer
is found to have such a bike, we will be on the phone quicker

Howdy gang,

The old barrel key locks are easily defeated with the barrel of a Bic pen.
Fortunately, you don't see the pens that were ideally suited for that much
anymore & really who even uses pens very much nowadays anyway? So in reality
these locks are probably safer than they were 20 years ago.

Darin: I daresay you are wary before being weary of cantilever advice.
All: General question: What are the respective benefits and defects of high
profile and low profile cantilever brakes?
Which style, and which make/model of that style, would you (singly) choose,
and why?
On Wed, Apr 24, 2019
This is a good take. I'm weary of any claim that a given high quality
cantilever brake is objectively better than the rest. Of the high quality
options, pick one that fits your frame requirements, aesthetics, and/or
mechanical aptitude. Even the lower quality ones can be coaxed to work well
eno
The best cantilever brake is a pretty broad topic & all the ones mentioned here
are great, but I personally like first generation Shimano XTR cantis myself. I
think they only made them 1 or 2 years before switching to V brakes, but they
are quite pretty, light, strong and stop good. You can pic

If you choose to use a Kryptonite U-lock, be sure to read the
maintenance info. IIRC, Kryptonite recommends using a chain lube containing
silicon, Teflon or graphite to prevent corrosion and/or rust. I've read
complaints from commuters whose locks failed in a month because their bikes

But Kryptonite hasn't used barrel keys locks in many years.Ā The "barrel
of a ball point pen" vulnerability dates back to the early 2000s, and
their locks haven't used cylindrical keys in certainly the last decade
or more.

If you are taking about the round keys from Kryptonite, they were phased
out well over a decade ago and even then, not all were opened easily. I
