For anyone with this type of lock, contact Kryptonite. They will send out a fitment kit to replace the lock barrel with the new type that is resistant to this type of attack.

thanks so much i found an abandon wheel locked on a Kryptonite lock

WOW!!!

I have one and haven't used it for years because of this. I tried picking it and opened it with a bic pen. And no, Kryptonite will not send you a kit to fix these locks or replace them - check their website. They claim they replaced locks for a year - several years ago. I remember it as a discount on a newer Kryptonite lock so I'd end up paying more for them to fix their mistake - no thanks. I'll never buy another, no sense in rewarding those who rip you off and whitewash it with PR.

i have a Norco bike U-bolt bike lock that has a round key like that.... is it the same weakness?

[omotherfuckenr]

wow that was easy!

@whitekni418 SHUT THE FUCK UP, YOU MUST LIVE IN A BARN. IN THE CITY, WHERE I HAVE ALWAYS LIVED-THERE ARE SUCH THING AS BIKE THIEVES. THEY STEAL BIKES THAT COST IN-BETWEEN $500-2000, AND THEY MAKE A GOOD LIVING RE-SELLING THEM (PROBABLY MAKE MORE THAN YOU). SO IF YOU THINK IT'S SO PUSSY BRING YOUR SHITTY BIKE TO NYC AND SEE HOW YOUR KRYPONITE LOCK WORKS....YOU SHOULD SHUT YOUR MOUTH NOW FUCKFACE.
