Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Fahgettaboudit Mini come with a mounting bracket?
Yes — this Mini variant is supplied with a FlexFrame U‑bracket for secure, frame‑mounted transport. Always check your frame tube diameter and bottle‑cage placement to confirm fit before mounting.
How much does the lock weigh and is it practical to carry?
The lock weighs approximately 4.55 lb. It’s heavier than compact cable locks but offers far superior security. With the FlexFrame bracket it’s practical for daily commuters who accept a small weight penalty for much greater theft resistance.
Are the keys and LED FOB replaceable if lost?
The lock includes three stainless steel keys and an LED replaceable key FOB. Kryptonite provides key replacement services and spare keys—register your lock’s key code or keep a copy in a safe place to make replacement straightforward.
Will this U‑lock prevent all thefts?
No lock is completely theft‑proof, but the Fahgettaboudit Mini uses thick max‑performance steel, a double deadbolt and a disc cylinder to significantly increase the time and skill required to steal your bike. For best protection, lock to an immovable object and secure both frame and at least one wheel.
Can I use this lock on an e‑bike or cargo bike?
You can use it on e‑bikes if the internal size fits around the wheel and rack. For larger cargo or long‑reach frames you may need a full‑size Fahgettaboudit or combine this U‑lock with a supplemental cable to secure additional wheels or accessories.
How does the disc‑style cylinder help in the real world?
Disc‑style cylinders are designed to reduce the exposed keyway and remove common leverage points used in picking and drilling attacks. Combined with the sliding dust cover, the cylinder resists dirt ingress and aggressive tampering better than many standard rim‑cylinder locks.
Buying Guide
When choosing a U‑lock, prioritize shackle thickness and internal dimensions. Thicker shackles (like this 18mm model) increase resistance to cutters and pry bars, but make sure the internal size fits around your frame and the object you’ll lock to. Compact sizes like 83 x 152 mm work well for locking the frame and front wheel to tight racks. Also consider cylinder quality and practical carry options — a high‑security disc cylinder and a reliable bracket (FlexFrame) improve daily usability. If you need to secure multiple wheels or accessories, buy a secondary cable or chain to complement the U‑lock.
