Waste of Money! Totally Ineffective Product. Buy it only if you want to lose your bike!

I would strongly advise against wasting money on this. While it is more convenient than a tradional lock in that you dont need to carry around a key, its totally ineffective when it comes to safety. The thieves seem to open this without any problems. Out of 7 bikes in my basement, mine was the only stolen despite being tied to a metal pole (unless others that were locked to flimsy structures)thanks to this!! dont waste your money on this.

For quick stops only.

I went through a cable like just like this one (it was a Kryptonite, actually) with a hacksaw in less than 60 seconds. It really surprised me how easy is was to defeat.

Bike Protection

On: 2008-05-05

When decision was made to purchases another bike I immdediately thought to purchase a lock. I had to get another bike because someone decided to help themselves to my other bike that I left on my personal patio but because it was not locked up they were able to steal it. I now keep my bike locked up very tight and other than have to untangle the cord all the time I am at peace with leaving my bike unattended. I am going to look to see if Bell also has a keyed lock because if you forget the combination you can forget getting it unlocked and I am not about to have someone try and cut it off.

Not very secure.

Dont trust this lock to protect your bike in a public place. The cable is thin enough to be cut with wire cutters, and the locking mechanism wouldnt withstand a single blow with a hammer.

No security with this! Easy to pick

My 16 year old had it less than 3 min. when he was able to pick the lock by listening to the mechanisims dropping as he twirled.
Good for a 5 min. lock-up at a quick errand, but not for much longer. I hate to see someone waste their money AND lose their bike!$

The lock device works simply and effectively.

Problem-The item was to be "Free" as per advertising on line.

It was billed to my AMEX charge account for $7.49 in error.
Please credit account.

Thank you.

Comes with pre-set code, you can not change it to any 4 digit code you want - although you can try to change the combination for example the code 5392 can be changed to 9253, 9325 etc but doing so you can easily break the inter-locking clip (due to its poor quality) and make the combination cable useless.
