Super October 25, 2009 S. Moon 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I really like this cable lock. I wouldn't use it in New York City, but for the suburban bike paths I use it's totally adequate.
The mounting bracket is very well thought out, and will fit a range of tube sizes by adding/removing inserts.
The lock mechanism is very smooth and easy to turn. Setting your combination is easy.
The 6 foot length is just right.
The self-coiling cable is very convenient to use.
Not too heavy.
No negatives.
Nice bike lock. October 24, 2009 J. Amarante (Northeast) Combo lock avoids new to stow a key. It's a decent length even for two bikes together. Not sure about the strength of the cable. If someone wants to cut through it badly enough, I imagine they will. But it's a deterrent.
it's relatively cheap, it's only a bit big October 8, 2009 Markus Stenemo (Chapel Hill, NC) It's relatively cheap and it's only a bit big, making it a bit in the way sometimes. Also you realise that it would be easy for anyone to see the combination on it since it is shown all over when you unlock it, but guess that's the same problem for all of this kind
good for what it is September 11, 2009 Karen J. Santiago (Brooklyn, USA) The combo lock is easy and convenient but winding the coil around my bike for storage and unwinding it to lock up the bike is a pain. There wasn't anywhere on my bike that the holder thingy could be put so I had to store it under the seat. In retrospect I wish I had gotten a small U lock instead.
However this works, I've had no problems with it.
Does what it's supposed to do....creates a buffer zone. September 9, 2009 wisetraveller (New York, USA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
It does what it's intended to do. It creates a barrier of tima and pressure around your bike and that is enough to deter unprofessional looters. However, if you live in NYC or in other high crime areas where you buy bikes knowing that you will only be able to use them for few months, you might want to look into real protection apart from this. This is just a supplementary bike protection device, not a U-Lock. I coil it around my seat-post when unlocked.
Pros:
Quality
Utility
Ease of use and weight
Cons:
Price(I am a student)
The holder apparatus is flimsy and you will not use it.
