Title: RadRunner - Where to put the lock?
Post by: cantonmudfarms on April 26, 2020, 09:23:06 AM
Hi! I just got a RadRunner for my wife, and UBolt lock that can mount on the seat post but on a runner that is not really a thing. Where are you mounting the lock? I just have it in a bag on the handlebars for now, but not really a fan of that.

Depending on the mount you have I'd try for somewhere on the rear rack. I've also seen folks use zip ties/velcro or something similar to attach the U Lock to the frame. If you leave them loose enough you can unlock it when you need to use it.

I put my Abus Ulock under the rear rack, fits perfect!  I also have a big kryptonite chain lock I wrap around the down tube.

My Abus Granit came with some clever mounting options, I found this to be the least intrusive.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200901/c56d370768b896fd67be3de9f3aad347.jpg)

Under rack and the rack upright look like nice choices. I tried keeping mine on top of the rack with bungee cords, but it came loose twice. I bought a rack bag and a smaller lock for general use (like restroom stops), and just take the big lock when I feel it will be needed. They both fit in the bag, but that U-lock and cable are heavy!
