anyone know anything about this u-lock for bikes? it's not the kind that can be opened with a bic pen. it does an interesting thing where you can spin the 7 discs halfway with a pick, but then they all stop. if you insert the key at this point, it still won't open and you have to turn it back to its original position. then it will open. what's odd to me is that when you reset it in this way, the key doesn't seem to slide in any further once it's all the way back, but rather just somehow knows what you did.
i'm a real newbie here, so what i'm asking about might just be the standard mechanics of any disc (wafer? please correct me) lock. but i'd still like to know what's going on in there...
thanks everyone!
