Rear rack which holds U-Lock?
I'm in the process of outfitting my new Ibex as a commuter, and I'm going to
need a rack. I have a beam rack, but the new bike has eyelets, so.... I remember seeing a Kryptonite rack years ago which held a U-Lock, but it's not listed on their website. Does anybody know a rack like this? Mike |

Mike Masterlock has one that goes on your seatpost and will hold some extra stuff, not as much as a touring rack but maybe good enough for a commute pack. You could probably use the touring rack also and just use this thing for a lock holder. http://tinyurl.com/2gzjw -- My bike blog: http://diabloscott.blogspot.com/ |

I've got a Topeak rack that does that. Rattles, though. Well, it's either have a rattly rack or keep using my messenger bag. My frame's too small to use a mounting bracket, and my handlebar space is taken up with a computer, light, and Air Zound. Does the rack hold the lock securely, do you like it, and where did you get it? Mike |

It holds the lock securely, under the rack itself. I don't really use this feature at the moment; that rack's on my commuter bike and I just carry a cheap cable with me (real lock left on rack at work). The rack itself is fine. Don't remember where I got it. Best bet would be to check the Topeak web site for the model number and ask around. |

Is that a Kryptonite in your pants, or are you just happy to see me? -Luigi |

When I'm riding a bike with any rear rack, my lock lays flat on the top of the rack, bungeed with the cylinder towards the saddle. Without a rack, I open the lock, feed the U part through my right hip belt loop and relock with the keyhole forward. Then when I want to take it off, just swing it forward and I'm looking down at the keyhole. Downside of this is that it is a bit rough on your belt loops. Re-stitching is easy, as long as you aren't too worried about neatness.
