D-lock bracket

alomac

Hey all,

I've managed to break the mounting bracket of my Kryptonite D-lock, and was wondering if it was possible to get another bracket, preferably of a sturdier design, without having to replace the whole lock.
I've looked (am am still looking) at the 'locks' section of the online retailers, but nothing's come up so far.

If I don't find one I'll probably just lash out on a rack and attach it to that.

Cheers,
Adam.

Mine sits on top off a rack top slidey in bag thingy.

But before I got that I was looking at rigging something up with a combination of those twofish lockblocks

Maybe pop in to an LBS and ask if they've got any kicking around?

I've used TwoFish Bike Blocks (and the cheap and cheerful dealextreme versions) to do this in the past.

I assume it is the "EZ Mount" bracket you want:

AFAIK Kryptonite only makes this bracket.

I've always found the Kryptonite bracket to be pretty awful to be honest, and never used it (wouldn't fit in the triangle of one of my bikes for a start). I resorted to carrying it around in a rucksack...even when I wasn't carrying anything else.

Having read this thread I came home tonight, dug out a spare Twofish that I had and a Velcro strap...the lock is now very securely fastened to my rear rack and I'm ultra pleased!

Cheers.
