Tactical Mount for LITELOK X3

I think it's pretty good and does the job well. I like not having to strap my lock to my bike rack or carry it in a pannier. I would have given it five stars but for an ergonomic design detail that would have been nice to have... I carry my bike up and down my basement steps daily by grabbing the top tube and lifting it onto my shoulder. My grip is within a few inches of the seat tube. The square underside profile of the mount makes my grip looser and the bike more unwieldy so it makes this task harder. A curved underside profile would help. I considered alternative placements and this placement (see pic) caused the fewest problems. It's too bad that this mount has to be so big because I would have liked to put it on the seat tube—but that would have interfered with the most secure way I lock my bike up (by running the lock through the back tire, seat tube, and bike rack). I love how tightly the lock fits in the mount—no wiggling at all—but the protective rubber straps that protect the bike finish from the tightening straps are becoming misaligned because of the force I have to apply when placing/shoving the lock into the mount. (I'll try tightening up the straps some more.) Maybe LITELOK will keep working on a mount that will work with the attachment points/screws that seem standard on bike frames and we can avoid the clunky look of the fastening straps in a future redesign. About the install video, it would be helpful if the camera paused longer before cutting away to the…

The Mount for my LITELOK X3 is a very welcome accessory for my bike and not before time. The weight of the lock (a good thing) means it’s difficult to transport if I didn’t want to use my panniers. The Mount is very robust and after a few minutes reading the instructions was fairly easy to install. I have mine located vertically on the bike and it fits perfectly on the Seat Tube (I have a Specialized XL frame). It doesn’t rattle as I ride and so far no danger of the lock slipping the mounting. Good Mount and good value for money.

I got a promotional email from LiteLok about this with a £5 discount as a pre-existing X3 owner. I jumped at it as although the lock is awesome, it is a hefty lump to carry, particularly for short journeys where a pannier would not be needed except to carry the lock. I fitted it in about 5 minutes - there is plenty of adjustment to fit the majority of bike frames and it dealt with my bikes weirdly tapered top tube fine.

Unlike so many frame mounts for bigger D-Locks this ones doesn't rattle or move in the slightest - apart from the additional 2kg+ on the frame, you wouldn't know it was there until you needed it. I'm dead happy with this - it makes lugging the lock around so much easier.
