Product Details

Overview & Technology

Built for urban e-bikes and high-value bikes, the New York Fahgettaboudit pairs brute-force materials with thoughtful engineering. Its 14mm six-sided links are forged from 3T manganese steel, a high-strength alloy chosen for superior toughness and shear resistance. The chain's patented hardened oval cross bar and 15mm MAX-Performance steel shackle further increase cutting and leverage resistance versus conventional round tubing. Security features include a hardened double deadbolt that defends against twist and pry attacks and a high-security disc-style cylinder in the New York Disc Lock. Kryptonite pre-coats the lock internals with Finish Line Dry Teflon Lube for smoother operation and additional corrosion protection, while a nylon sleeve and Hook-n-Loop fasteners keep your frame scratch-free and the chain quiet during transport.

Key Features & Real-World Benefits

Materials and design matter: the six-sided 14mm links and 15mm shackle make this chain exceptionally hard to cut with standard tools. The hardened oval cross bar spreads force and resists cutters and chisels better than round tubes, while the double deadbolt locks provide extra protection against twist and impact attacks you see in street theft attempts. Practical benefits include a durable black nylon sleeve that prevents paint damage and dampens noise, three stainless steel keys (including a high-intensity LED key for night-time unlocking), and pre-applied dry lube to keep the cylinder turning smoothly through seasons. Available in 100cm (3.3') and 150cm (4.9') lengths to suit single-bike locking or securing two wheels/frames to fixed anchors.

Fit, Length & Compatibility

The Fahgettaboudit comes in two lengths: 100cm (3.3') is ideal for locking a frame and rear wheel to a post or rack, while 150cm (4.9') gives the extra reach needed for awkward anchor points or locking two bikes together. The chain's internal lock size refers to usable loop length; be sure to measure your common locking spots before choosing a length. There is no mounting bracket included, so plan to carry the lock in a pannier, backpack, or use an aftermarket carrier. The chain's weight (approx. 7.9 lb / shipping weight) trades carry convenience for significantly higher security—perfect for high-value e-bikes, cargo bikes, and commuting setups where theft risk is high.

Who This Lock Is For

This is designed for riders who prioritize maximum theft deterrence: e-bike owners, urban commuters, delivery riders, and anyone parking expensive bikes in crowded or high-theft areas. If your bike represents a major investment and you frequently lock in public spaces overnight or in transit hubs, the Fahgettaboudit provides a level of protection most cable or light-duty U-locks can’t match. Riders who need a lightweight, quick-locking solution for short stops (cafes, stores) might prefer a smaller U-lock or folding lock for convenience. The Fahgettaboudit shines when you can accept its weight for the reassurance of heavy-duty security.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this lock suitable for e-bikes and high-value bikes?

Yes. The Fahgettaboudit's heavy 14mm links, 15mm shackle and hardened cross bar make it an excellent choice for securing expensive e-bikes and cargo bikes in high-risk urban environments. Its weight is a trade-off for far greater cutting and leverage resistance than lighter locks.

Which length should I choose: 100cm or 150cm?

Choose 100cm (3.3') if you usually lock one bike to a post or rack and want a more compact option. Choose 150cm (4.9') when you need extra reach to secure both wheels and the frame, or to lock multiple bikes together. Measure your common locking points before buying to ensure fit.

How heavy is the chain and how can I carry it?

The lock is heavy—shipping weight is about 7.9 lb—so plan to carry it in a pannier, backpack, or with an aftermarket frame/seatpost carrier. There is no bracket included, so consider Forest Bikes' selection of carriers or pack it inside your commute bag.

Are replacement keys available and what about the LED key?

Kryptonite supplies three stainless steel keys with the lock, including one LED-lit key for night use. Replacement keys and key code services are typically available through Kryptonite; keep your key code safe and check the manufacturer's policy for ordering duplicates.

Will the nylon sleeve protect my bike frame from scratches?

Yes. The black nylon sleeve, secured by Hook-n-Loop fasteners, keeps the steel chain from rubbing directly on paint and reduces noise during transport. It also helps keep the links cleaner in wet conditions.

Is this lock weatherproof and rust-resistant?

The chain and shackle use hardened steel with protective finishes, and Kryptonite pre-applies Finish Line Dry Teflon Lube to the lock internals for corrosion resistance. Stainless steel keys further resist rust, but regular inspection and occasional lubrication of the cylinder are recommended in harsh coastal or winter conditions.

Buying Guide

When choosing a heavy-duty chain lock, weigh three factors: thickness, length, and cylinder quality. Thicker links (12–14mm and up) and hardened alloys like 3T manganese steel provide much higher resistance to bolt cutters and saws. Decide on length based on your typical locking points—shorter chains are lighter and trick easier locking, while longer chains add reach for awkward posts or multiple bikes. Also consider carriage: heavy locks demand a plan for transport (pannier, frame carrier, or backpack). Finally, look for features that improve day-to-day use—protected cylinders, weatherproofing, keyed LED lights, and protective sleeves to prevent frame damage. For e-bikes and high-value machines, investing in top-tier chain locks like the Fahgettaboudit is a smart loss-prevention choice.
