Show me you u-lock mount!
Trying to come up with a better way to carry my u-lock without using the pannier. Hang it off the rack? Frame is too small for the included mount. Know any tricks?

I bought this: https://www.amazon.com/ACTION-LOCK-BR.../dp/B0019QT0QE
Never had a problem since! Holds my heavy kryptonite ES 4 to my frame. Even works in the rain!

I used three TwoFish blocks to mount my mini u lock around the seat stay-tube-seat post. It is very stable and do not rattle.

Fresh Garbage
no need for extra stuff and it's hardly noticeable while riding, or carry it in the back pack. But I ride a road bike

that's a topeak rack with integrated lock holder. Nice in theory but there's a limited range of locks that will fit in there

Yup, I bought the rack like that. I love it but there is a limited amount of locks that fit but the one that came with it is fine. I rarely have to lock the bike up

Never ride with anything on your belt/pocket that you dont want to fall on.
My u-lock sits on top of the rack, under a single crossways bungie. My rack/u-lock interface is a bit better than I-Brads, the curve of the u-lock slots under the raised front stop of the rack.

I put my U-lock mount on one of the struts for my rack. its perfect because when in use it allows the U-lock to mount flush with the rack and when not in use i can swing it in so i dont have to worry about it catching something
