In the Autumn of 2004, I published a video demonstrating the ease with which a Kryptonite brand NYC Disc lock could be opened using nothing more than a Bic ballpoint pen.
@gregapage look up kryptonite locks on wikipedia. this video is the reason they stopped using tubular locks. other reputable companies have found other solutions and continue using tubular locks (don't know if they're safe) but the truth is, any lock can be picked. or broken. smashed with a hammer and chisel. forced with a mini bottle jack. cut with a saw or bolt cutters or angle grinder or cutting torch.
Fake as fuck. If it were that easy my bike would've been stolen many times over. I use Kryptonite and have been cycling in central London for about 10 years. Times my bikes been stolen = 0. Vandalised however is a different story :(
@EddieElNeNe yeah i know i had one i tried to cut through my nyc chain with a dremel after about 5 cutting discs i was only halfway through so i gave up

this video once helped me not to buy a kryptonite, thanks. additionally, it helped krytonite itself...product fails must be revealed!
