Recommend me a lightweight lock

markhewitt1978

I'm after a cable lock which I can attach to the seattube of my bike - removing the bottle cage that is there at the moment.

My primary requirement is that it's light and can be mounted out of the way. I'll only be locking it up where I can see it while I go into a cafe or a shop so it's only requirement is to stop an opportunist just grabbing the bike and running off with it. (I realise that anyone with any equipment won't be slowed down much).

I have cheap cable lock I got from Aldi just now but it hasn't got a holder bracket, I try keeping it in the bottle cage but it always falls out!

Why not just use a Velcro strap to attach your cable to the bottle cage, seat rails, handlebars, etc. Most bike shops stock light cables with frame mounts included so take your pick if you want to go that route. For your purposes you don't need worry about getting the "best" since there won't be too much difference in security between the cheapest and most expensive in lightweight cables.

One of these in your back jersey pocket? Cheap and light and just long enough to attach your bike to another or a nearby post etc.

Cheap bottle from Wilkos, cut the top off and stuff it in?

Any lightweight lock will only stop an opportunist thief, so you might as well use something like:
