Reviews Good lock. Hard to twist. Holder is not secure.  by: on: 28-Sep 2009 I bought this lock like two months ago. This has been my experience with it. *It's pretty strong. Of course any cable lock can be cut off with the right tool. You might find some individuals giving this product a bad review because they left their bikes locked with "only" this cable, and guess what? Their bikes were stolen. This lock is NOT supposed to be your main lock, you need a good U-lock, or if you want to go through all the hassle get a hefty chain lock, but please don't blame it on the product if you don't know the basic rules of locking a bicycle. *The cable is very very very hard to twist. If you want to use it only to secure your front wheel to the frame it's not such a big deal, but if you're trying to get it through the front wheel, frame, and back wheel I tell you right now that there will be blood. No matter how strong you are, this lock is pretty twisted, and that's the only natural shape that it seems to acknowledge. *I used the lock a multitude of times since I bought it, mainly to lock the front wheel to the frame, and a few times as my main lock for short periods of time. But then something happened. See, the lock comes with a holder that you can install on the bike. I installed it on the seat post and it was pretty easy except that from the very beginning it felt flimsy. I would clip the rolled up cable onto it, but if I felt that if something hit the cable it would be knocked out of position and fell of the holder. Well, apparently that or something very similar happened because I lost my cable lock like 5 days ago. I have try to look at the evidence and that's the only possible explanation I can come up with. I went to school in the morning and locked with my u-lock and the cable. I went back to where the bike was parked after the class was over, I put my u-lock and messenger bag on my rear rack as I always do, and clipped the cable lock onto the holder. I got home and hours after I realized that I didn't have the lock, and after looking everywhere in my room, which is the only part of the house where I actually am most of the time I can say that it's definitely not here, or anywhere else in my small apartment. I think it probably fell off the bike while I was riding. I don't like to be unfair, that's why I gave the product a 4. It's not so bad, just bear in mind the things I mentioned in my review, and for God's sake, no matter what cable lock you choose, remember that unless you live in a part of the country where folks are really really realle honest, you NEED an u-lock. Lock against honest people  by: on: 29-May 2009 Pros: Looks solid for a cable lock. Fairly light. Combination, so no keys to lug around. Attaches well to bike. Cons: Lost my $[...] bike thanks to it (my bad, I'll admit, for using such a crummy lock). No good in an area with professional bike thieves. Only works to prevent people from "borrowing" your cheap bike for a quick ride somewhere. Really impressed with the quality  by: on: 30-Jan 2009 As many have observed, locks are to keep normally honest people honest. With that said, these are really well built and a terrific deal for the price. I recommend them without any hesitation. I like the bicycle mount because it provides a convenient place to keep the cable lock when it is not in use, but makes it very accessible and untangled for immediate use. Very Good Combo Lock by: on: 12-Oct 2008 This combo lock works very well, I would have given it 5 - stars except for the mounting bracket. As some other reviews have said, it does not fit well on the frame of my bike. If I attempt to use the bracket without the included insert, it slips down the frame. If I use the insert, the bracket is separated to far apart to use the brackets screws. No problem, I just wrap it around the seat and frame post. View All ReviewsView All Locks |
