Lightweight, Reliable and Safe

Ive used this lock for a year and have had no problems at all with it. Its so convenient to not worry about keys, and if my friends need to borrow my bike I can just tell them the combo over the phone, so theyre happy too. Just make sure it is long enough before you buy, because mine works on my commuter bike but is too short to accommodate both the front wheel and frame on my mountain bike. Oh, and DO remember to close the weather guard so if it rains the numbers dont get wet and slippery...that can be a minor annoyance.

Failed to work even once.

This lock comes with a factory `0005 combination that the user is supposed to reset before using. After following the instruction to reset it, once I reattached the `U portion to the base I was never able to reopen it. The seller, Seasonal Outfitters, was of no assistance. Kryptonite said it would replace the lock, but while waiting for that I cant park my bike, and once I get the replacement I will always be fearful that I will lock my bike with it and be unable to reopen the lock. How sad that such a simple device (at a premium price) fails right out of the box.

Usable but not recommended

I found that the numbers are hard to change, they are not very smooth. Also it really is not long enough, I would recommend one that is longer, this one hardly fits around the frame and post at the same time.

Great bicycle lock

I received this lock in two days after placing my order. It seems quite sturdy and the combination feature is really good. No need to carry another key for this. I have been using it for more than a month now and would highly recommend it.
