U-Lock Rack Mounting
My apologies if this thread already exists, and if it does, please point me to it!
I am trying to find something to hold my OnGuard lock. I have a Dutch-style (step-through) frame, so I cannot use the little bracket that came with it. I was thinking of getting these, but I'm not sure. For now, I am putting it in my Koki Flow (which I am considering returning & using my Sherpani Access LE Daypack which I strap onto my cargo cradle) which works out alright. I wish the Koki was just a little bit bigger, because then it would suit my needs tbetter. I'm still trying to find a solution to carry my MacBook, heavy books and such, but have yet to find one that does not cause me to fall over - reason why I ditched the panniers.
Thoughts?
Another thing, I broke down (thanks to the ride on Sunday night) and got were the Monkey Light 210's for my wheels. I heard that for optimal effect with the 210's you should put two on each wheel, but I am afraid that will add weight, as I already have tire liners in my wheels and don't really want to add much more weight.
Thoughts?
Thanks!

I have an Ortlieb commuting pannier, and I keep my u lock in it when riding. Those clips are awfully expensive for something like that.

I also stick mine in a pannier. The bracket thing that came with the lock is too small for my top tube.

Bungee cargo net on the top of my rack. The bracket that came with it was attached to a bike I sold probably 2 bikes ago. Whoops. Didn't really keep the lock in anyway on any decent bumps.

Nice bike. Your lock will come in handy to bump someone from behind ... LOL.
