| 7 of 7 people found the following review helpful By esqgirl (Boston, MA USA) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Kryptonite U-Lock Color Skins (Sports) I got this for my new mini-u lock, to help it match my bike, and to distinguish it from my sweetie's when we grab them from the bike shed. One of the reviews here made me a bit nervous that it would be a pain to install, so I wanted to come back and report. I think the manufacturer's instructions might make it seems a little more complicated than it really is, as they cover a lot of contingencies and have hints you might not need. Basically:1. Easily wiggle off the pieces on the crossbar and replace with those provided. There is no real resistance or difficulty with this part. 2. Remove the two rubber gaskets and the hanging mount if you have one from the u-shaped part of the lock. 3. Cut off the vinyl cover on the u-shaped part of the lock. They suggest heating the metal and existing vinyl cover in hot water first, to make it pliable enough to fit scissors under the edge, but it was easier to just carefully use a box cutter. 4.

If you follow the instructions and heat the sleeves and bracket and use dish soap to slide the new sleeve on, this is a piece of cake. I'm a woman for the record, so it's not like this is some sort of "man work." It took me all of 10 minutes from start to finish and it looks awesome! I got the white skin and I love how crisp, clean and modern it looks. Very cool, will buy more when this one tires out. I took pics and uploaded them to the product image gallery.My only gripe is that the zip ties that attached the sleeve to the packaging were a little too tight, so it left impressions in the vinyl (as you can see in the pics if you look carefully.) I'm hoping they will smooth out on their own with time, but even if they don't it's really not even worth complaining about. 4 of 5 people found the following review helpful Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Kryptonite U-Lock Color Skins (Sports) Don't expect to just slip this puppy on (without lube) and be on your merry way. It took my bf longer to put this skin on my lock than it did for him to assemble the bike.The instructions call for the following: sharp scissors safety utility blade & cut resistant gloves small thin blade standard screwdriver 3mm hex wrench large pan or bowl that will allow the shackle to completely fit inside warm water source liquid soap or a wax base lube like Finish Line Teflon Dry Lube (WTF??) Cloth or paper towels Optional: "Blow Gun" attachment for air compressor (as shown) (insert picture here) So...the moral of the story is if you can find someone patient and loving enough to figure out how to slip this rubber on AND he has a blow gun attachment handy, then you are golden and the end result is pure happiness! |
