I really like the Abus lock you referenced. It has a sturdy but lightweight holster that mounts to water bottle cage braze-ons. I put mine under the down tube on my Bombadil and Atlantis, and I don't even notice it's there until I need it.

Is there a decent lock that's smaller and lighter than a standard Ulock and would fit easily into a Keven's bag? For weekday commuting the Hillborne is loaded down with heavy 36hole A719 wheels, a Wald basket, Shopsack, med saddlesack, sturdy Ulock, computer bag, etc. On the weekends and summers, I like to lighten things up. I switch out the wheels for 32 hole Synergys with Barlow Pass ELs, lose the Wald and Shopsack, swap the med saddlesack for a Keven's bag and head out for fun, light rides without the baggage of my daily commute. However, in case I need to stop anywhere, I still strap the heavy Ulock on the rear rack. Does anyone have a suggestion for smaller, lightweight lock solutions for quick stops? Riv is carrying a lock I may purchase that is about 1/2 the weight of my Ulock but they say it is a tight fit in a Keven's bag (http://www.rivbike.com/product-p/lk10.htm). Another alternative is this Abus folding lock but, for the price, it doesn't seem to buy me much weight loss from my Kryptonite Evolution (https://www.abus.com/eng/Mobile-Security/Bike-Safety-and-Security/Locks/Folding-locks/Bordo-GRANIT-X-Plus-6500). Any suggestions?
