Kryptonite Evolution Series 4 Standard Bicycle U-Lock with Bracket (4-Inch x 9-Inch) Kryptonite Evolution Series 4 Standard Bicycle U-Lock with Bracket (4-Inch x 9-Inch)
List Price: $73.99
Sale Price: Too low to display

Big city cyclists need big city protection, as would-be thieves aren't intimidated by flimsy cables or weak U-locks. That's why serious cyclists turn to Kryptonite for their security needs. The Evolution Series 4 U-lock is a cut above other bike locks, with a 14mm hardened Max-Performance steel shackle designed to resist both cutters and leverage attacks. Ideal for anyone who lives in moderate to high crime areas, the Series 4 received a 9 on the Kryptonite 1-12 lock comparison system, which ranks the varying levels of security offered by the company's product range. A lock that ranks 1 on the Kryptonite scale might work if you live in the burbs and have a Rottweiler parked next to your bike or motorcycle. A lock that ranks 12, however, is built for maximum deterrence. The Series 4 also offers such security-enhancing features as a double deadbolt locking mechanism for extensive holding power; a disc-style cylinder with more than one million key variations; a reinforced anti-drill/pull cylinder protection system; and a center key location with a dual overhead cam locking mechanism that defends against leverage attacks. The Series 4 is about more than just security, however, with a sliding dustcover that protects and extends cylinder life, anti-rattle bumpers that reduce noise during transport, and versatile EZ mount transportation bracket. And as a bonus, the lock comes with three keys, one of which is lighted with a high-intensity bulb that makes it easy to unlock the Series 4 after dark. The lock measures 4 by 9 inches. The Legendary Durability of Kryptonite Locks The first big test for Kryptonite locks came in 1972, when Kryptonite founder Michael Zane directed the Second Avenue Bicycle Shop in New York City to lock a three-speed bicycle to a signpost in Greenwich Village. Although thieves immediately stripped all of the bicycle's removable parts, the bicycle itself remained for 30 days and 30 nights. The publicity gave Kryptonite the boost it needed and forever changed the face of bicycle security. Twenty-two years later, Kryptonite returned to the streets of the Big Apple to test its latest innovation, the New York lock. In April 1994, the New York Post laid down the ultimate challenge: Could Kryptonite's New York lock last 48 hours on the toughest streets of New York? In a city where more than 100,000 bikes are stolen each year, Kryptonite and the Post locked a brand new, bright green Univega road bike worth $600 to a parking meter in the East Village--the Bermuda Triangle of New York bicycle thievery. For a full 48 hours, the bike remained locked on the corner of Avenue A and 11th Street. Zane and Neil McDaid, director of product development and design for Kryptonite, watched from around the corner as the bike came under every possible means of assault, stumping thieves at every turn. After 48 hours the bike remained intact except for the gear derailleur, which had been stripped off. The lock showed definite signs of abuse, but it had not failed. The New York lock had met the Post's challenge. Not satisfied with the length of the test, Zane moved the bike to SoHo for another six days and, finally, uptown near the Lincoln Center. Even in these high-theft areas the properly locked bike lasted another three weeks before being pulled off the streets by Zane and McDaid. The Post also ran the New York lock through a battery of street tests using common bike theft tools: a 4-foot bolt cutter, a crowbar, and a hammer. The non-Kryptonite locks cracked in seconds, but all methods failed on the New York lock, even the monstrous bolt cutter, which was rendered useless with large dents in its jaws. About Kryptonite In the early 1970s, Michael Zane was a free-spirited, bearded kid with a VW van and a big idea for a new kind of lock. He traveled thousands of miles showing the unique U-shaped locking device and spreading his passion for bicycle security to bike dealers all around the country and forged lifetime relationships. The company soon expanded its product line to include power sports, hardware, and snow sports security. Through innovative product designs, cutting-edge marketing savvy, legendary customer service, and pure fanaticism for security, Kryptonite grew with a cult-like following. In 2001, the company that was started in a VW van was purchased by industry giant Ingersoll Rand and became a flagship brand in the company's Security Technologies sector. Publications such as Bicycling, Fortune, The Wall Street Journal, US News & World Report, and a host of others continued to tout Kryptonite products as the best on the market. The company's dedication to its customers is best represented by its actions during the fall of 2004, when it was discovered that the industry-standard tubular cylinder could be compromised, at times, with a household item. Kryptonite flew into action, created a voluntary lock exchange program, and replaced more than 400,000 locks in 21 countries for free. In essence, the company redesigned the equivalent of nine years worth of new products in just 10 short months. Kryptonite is the only company in the world that offered such a comprehensive plan to customers, taking its "legendary customer service" pledge to new heights.

Shimano's recessed cleat and clipless pedal technology, called SPD, revolutionized the cycling shoe/pedal interface. Since then, decades of legendary "in the dirt" dependability, reliability, and sheer endurance have made SPD the world's go-to pedal technology. Shimano's PD-M324 clipless/clip pedals continue the SPD tradition but with a twist. One side of the pedal features a fully featured SPD-specific clip interface that provides extra efficiency and security for intense riding. The other side of the pedal, however, features a standard platform for use with street shoes--perfect for impromptu trips to the grocery store and other informal joyrides. The dual-side design makes the PD-M324 pedals ideal for people who use their bike for errands and training alike. The pedals come with one pair of two-bolt SPD cleats.

Shimano's goal was to get quicker product feedback and to provide technical and warranty assistance to retailers selling bikes equipped with Shimano parts.

Though Shimano American has grown from that first modest office staffed by only three people to a full distribution center with sales and marketing offices, the goals are the same: to ensure that Shimano always has a listening ear to provide feedback on relevant trends and needs of the North American market for both bicycle and fishing products and make those a reality for customers.

To Start, Do You Have Enough Knowledge About Mountain Bikes?

For a at least a couple of decades one kind of bicycle dominated the cycling scene: racing bikes. With their narrow seats, downward curved handle bars, and sleek look, they were the majority biking choice which everybody rode. Now things have changed and mountain bikes in their various designs and permutations are everywhere.

There are key factors attributable to this growth in popularity, not least the fact that mountain bikes provide a different biking experience for cyclists. To assess how they have come to dominance, lets take a quick snapshot tour of some of their unique design features.

Not in the too distant past the term ATBs or 'All Terrain Bikes' were an unknown quantity. Not so anymore with their appeal of a bike that offers go anywhere biking in the form of: dirt trails, rough mountain paths and more. This go anywhere capability is partly made possible by the use of large knobby tires fitted on wider rims. In addition, in recent years the introduction of front and rear suspension designs has extended the appeal of these bikes.

Suspension designs come in four basic design types nowadays.

Totally rigid models are just straight forks with no cushion or shock absorbers.

A hard tail is not fitted with rear suspension.

A soft tail, is different in that it has a suspension shock mounted in the frame which allows for vertical flexing

Dual suspension offers front and rear cushion, along with a rear shock that permits wheel pivot.

Aside from the totally rigid models, other suspension designs have improved how the rider controls the bike on uneven surfaces. And where even the fittest of cyclists experience fatigue, they can extend their riding time and range on a mountain bike thanks to full or partial suspension designs. The Suspension is designed to provide a range of movement, known as suspension travel from 2 - 8 inches and is the prime reason for reducing stress on the joints of the rider.

Wider, knobby tires are another important element. The inner dimensions of a racing bike's tires may be as small as 18mm (0.8 inches). On Mountain bikes the tires are typically 35-50mm (1.5-2.2 inches) or more. That extra width of the tires helps increase control and reduces the abuse on the frame. Both factors combined to provide a smoother ride over rough terrain.

In addition, the handlebar design is quite different from its racing cousin. The wide, flat, straight geometry provides better control of the bike on bumpy, sharply curving roads or paths. Greater control can be achieved by fitting riser handlebars.

Higher clearance from the ground is another major difference between the models. Sprockets and other gear on racing bikes can be positioned low enough to the ground that the pedals clearance is only an inch or two. Mountain bikes are designed with much more ground clearance for both the pedals and the frame. The greater ground clearance allows mountain bikes to be ridden over rocks, uneven ground, vegetation, and is necessary for true off road -all terrain riding. A 33 cm clearance is not uncommon.

Furthermore, some modern designs have eliminated the chain, which can be more of a problem on mountain bikes than racing models. On both types there is the potential to experience greasy trousers. But on mountain bikes the issue is compounded by exposure to dirt, gravel and plants on rougher terrain which can work their way into chains and sprockets. Thankfully, Chain less models have solved that problem.

Mountain bikes have really developed since their widespread introduction in the 1980s. But they still provide in abundance the one thing that is essential in any bike: a fun ride in terrain away from the crowds, plus the choice of going on or off road.
