Thanks, Roberta! That is very kind of you. The Tigr sounds like it could address your goal of lightening your bike. I have played around with the idea of putting another Tigr lock on my Clem and leaving the Albus at home unless I need it to lock my bike and my wife’s together. My Clem is a little beat up so I am not so worried about my inefficient lock fiddling marring the paint a bit. You are inspiring me!
