RockyMounts Hooligan Chain Lock

With a security level of 6 and a 7mm hardened steel chain, this lock is designed for quick stops and low-to-medium risk areas. It provides a solid deterrent against opportunistic theft, though it may not be sufficient for long-term storage in high-crime urban environments.

No, the chain is encased in a durable nylon sheath that prevents metal-on-metal contact. Additionally, the lock head is covered in soft-touch silicone to ensure that accidental bumps against your frame won't cause dings or scratches.

The 40-inch length is versatile enough to secure your frame and rear wheel to a standard bike rack or post. However, if you want to secure both wheels and the frame simultaneously, you may need a longer cable or a second lock.

The lock weighs 2 pounds 12 ounces. While it has some heft due to the hardened steel construction, the flexible chain design allows you to wrap it comfortably around your torso or coil it compactly into a bag for easier transport.

The Hooligan comes with three keys, which gives you a few backups. We recommend keeping one in a secure location at home and carrying the others, as replacement keys are not easily sourced once all copies are lost.
