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.

Don't 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 wouldn't withstand a single blow with a hammer.

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.

Only used it about 10 times and the cable detached from the lock.
It is made so cheap that it falls apart already.
Trashed, useless piece of junk.

The most big problem is that the lock is different from the one shown in the image. It is a password lock, which might be dangerous if any one want to hack.

I've had this lock for a while on various bikes in rural-ish Minnesota. I bought a new road bike and moved to Minneapolis. It was cut with wire cutters in broad daylight two weeks later. Upgrade and save your money and your bike!

I would strongly advise against wasting money on this. While it is more convenient than a tradional lock in that you don't 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!! don't waste your money on this.

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.

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.
