I need a good U-lock!?

Every single U-lock I have had within the past year has somehow jammed up or rusted up on me and I wasn't able to use the key with them without a long-winded struggle. I've tried Masterlock and the Bell brand.

I am about to buy a $50 Kryptonite Series 4 Evolution lock. Is this a good brand? Will it jam up or rust on me? Am I going to regret paying that much for it after a couple of months?

Any and all help you have to offer is much appreciated! Thank you!

Yep, through process of elimination you found the good one.

I am curious though... do you lock your bike outside in the rain? A bike lock shouldn't rust unless it was soaked in water.

I would use a little oil on your new lock just in case. In the key hole too. Light oil from a spray can, nothing fancy.
