Disc Locks Not Universal?

[jcrawford]

I am just wondering because I picked up a used XENA XX14 from a forum seller and I cannot seem to get it to go over the rim as shown in the picture.

Is it less effective to lock it to the "larger" open area of the rotor?

It definitely makes a lot more sense to go to an internet forum and ask about a random product than it does to just go to the manufacturers website.

Don't be afraid to think for yourself, Joe. It costs nothing and doesn't hurt one bit.

Trust me. I've been doing it for many years.

Ahhh....but if you've got enough common sense you can avoid that. I would always place the lock on the bike so that I couldn't get that momentum up (ex: against the caliper or fork)

If you're distracted enough, you'll pull away with the front tire never turning an inch!

I always thought the larger area is where they were supposed to go. I have a Xena also and thats where I put mine.
