My not so old faithful Kryptonite cable lock has given up the ghost. The key was a little stiff last night, so I gave it a good spraying and left it soaking overnight in silicon lubricant.
Come this morning, pleased with my previous night's efforts, the blooming thing wouldn't lock up at all, so it's obviously an internal failure.
So I'm in the market for a new lockeroonie.
I've never been totally sold on a cable lock, mainly because of its constant efforts to curl back up when you don't want it to.
The bike's exposed to the elements when locked up at work, but is in plain sight of reception and security staff, and literally within ten feet of a permanently crewed security desk.
Any lock recommendations please? I'm considering an Acus Granit D lock with a supplementary cable loop. Something akin to this:

but I'm open to other suggestions for a better all round jobbie. Max £70 or thereabouts.
Ta in anticipation.
