Here is my first instructables.

I recently purchased a mini-u bike lock, very handy, compact, but supplied with a poor holder.
I decided to replace this bike holder. Here is the result.

Step 1: The original one

The original u-bike holder does not fit into my frame and it is impossible to tighten it around  the seat post.

very nice, instead of plastic wraps, you can use metal clamps, like the ones used in car radiator hoses, the ones with the screw used to tighten (worm).

Gotta agree, that's nice and clean. Awesome hack!

I simply love the simplicity of such builds.
Smart and elegant! Thanks for sharing!

J`aime bien l`idée! (Meme si je traduirais pas Hack pare bidouille)

Luckily, the Ulock holder I have fit my bike perfectly :)

That's a great idea! I've been carrying mine in my bag, since the holder the u-lock came with gets in my way, but I'll have to see if this will fit my bike.
