Bottle Boss Chain Lock Container

[Walker Reiss]

Hello all,

I frequently lock my bike up outside, which necessitates a heavy chain lock. Over the years I've carried it a number of different ways, but mostly just come back to tossing it in my front basket and pretending i can't hear it. 

Now, I'm thinking of strapping some sort of container to a King Manything Cage to drop the lock into when I ride. My plight is that I can't think of a good container. A 32 oz nalgene is too narrow (even the wide mouth version), and a yogurt container is too frail. 

I'm thinking it should be about quart-sized, stiff plastic (or maybe metal), with quite a big opening. I would then use voile straps or maybe hose clamps to strap it down to the manything cage.

Does anyone have any creative container ideas?

Thanks,

Walker

I suggest looking on the Amazon website for a container that would fit your needs.

How about a Kryptonite Transit Tube?

A cylindrical bear proof food container for backpacking may work. They are expensive for what they are but should be sturdy enough.

On the cheaper/thrifty side of things, I’ve used an empty Pringles can to hold tools/tube in the past. It might be small for a chain lock, but an empty Oatmeal can might work.

I saw this at the store today and it was quite impressed with the size and stiffness. And in the world of bicycle bags is not too expensive.

Thank you to everyone! I'll keep the post updated when i have a good solution. I actually thought of the bearproof container, but had trouble finding one small enough, but i'll keep looking.

I'm reminded of these kitty litter box panniers: https://www.adventurecycling.org/blog/hauling-it-all-make-your-own-panniers/ 

Maybe a walk down the household cleaner items aisle will surface a rectangular bucket the right size.

Maybe some large diameter PVC pipe from the hardware store cut down into whatever length works? That would be cheap and pretty functional I think. Threading on both ends would be nice if they had caps that would screw on.

A coffee can lined with velvet?

I made very similar but less robust panniers out of plastic Target 8 gallon kitchen trash cans on sale (in those long-ago days) for about $5 each: bit of dowel and toe straps, Fly rack. Each took a standard paper grocery sack; best panniers, for practicality, that I ever used. But they looked dorky and diminished me in the eyes of roadies, so I gave them up.

Fondly recall the very light, tout 531 1973 Motobecane Grand Record, stripped and with a 67" fixed gear that for a couple of years was my main errand and commuting bike. It handled very well carrying 40 lb + rear loads in those trash cans; best rear load carrier I've owned, tho' one of the lighter frames I've owned, too. Odd.
