had to return it. August 27, 2008

Excellent lock, this thing could stop a tank. It would've also been easily mountable due to the chain design. I had to return it though due to the weight. It weighs approximately 10 pounds and the extra weight won't work for long rides.
 A very good chain May 25, 2008

This is a very secure and sturdy chain and lock. I only wish it was a little lighter in weight.
 Maybe a little overboard...but worth it February 8, 2008

I bought this bike lock because it was the best lock on the market (according to reviews), and I figured I will very likely one day own a bike that would be worth stealing. My current bike is not THAT valuable, but I still don't want it stolen...However, now that I own the Fahgettaboudit, it's almost too much...
It's definitely heavy. Wrapping it around my frame causes a noticeable weight increase, especially when leaning the bike and carrying it...plus, if I don't wrap it just right, the lock swings while I'm riding, which has clipped my ankle once (not a very pleasant feeling). The chain will crush just about anything in a backpack, and putting it on the bottom will be annoying when it comes time to take it back out...though a compartmentalized backpack would fix that. Some users say they can fit it around their waste, but when I tried I couldn't keep it on with a winter coat on to boot.
Despite all this, I still highly recommend this lock. It doesn't even occur to me that someone will mess with my bike, no matter where I put it. If you own (or plan on owning) an expensive bike, there's no other way to go.
For those that are wondering if you should upgrade to the 5' chain, I lock my chain to a 4x4 post, and I don't have a problem with it. If you can position your back wheel by the object, 3'3" should be long enough. I can't imagine what another foot and a half would do to the weight...
Good Deal January 23, 2008

This is an excellent product for people who have experienced the heartache of a stolen bike. This lock retails for $150 in NYC so its a huge steal online for half off. Its heavy and awkward but becomes easier to use over time. I sling it across my chest and it distributes the weight pretty easily.

The chain is heavy and you really need to be careful where you keep it when you are riding. i have had a bad spill due to the chain.i had it wrapped around the handlebars/forks and it slipped down in to the tire and stopped the bike and i in turn went over the handle bars. i feel very secure leaving my bike out with this lock.
