5.0 out of 5 stars Good for Securing Bike Seat, Wheels and/or Quick Release Components!, February 9, 2009

The Kryptonite Kryptoflex cable is meant to be used in conjunction with a U-lock. It should ONLY be used as a means to secure quick release components like your seat, seat post and/or wheels in conjunction with a U-lock. It should NOT be used to secure the bike's frame to a solid object like a bike rack.

If you try to use this cable as your primary means of securing your bike (frame) then don't be surprised if your bike gets stolen (like another reviewer experienced, sadly). USE COMMON SENSE, PEOPLE!

For what it was intended to do (secure quick release components, bike seat, wheels, etc.) it does a great job.

I would recommend it to anyone that wants another added layer of protection on top of a solid U-lock.

4.0 out of 5 stars Should have bought the longer one, October 11, 2010

This review is from: Kryptonite Kryptoflex 1004 Looped Bicycle Security Cable (10mm x 4-Foot) (Sports)

I read the reviews and was a little bit worried about getting the six foot krptoflex since people were saying it is really long. I didn't need a cable that was so long, just long enough to wrap my two wheels around the pole and u-lock. Thus, I ordered the 4 foot cable thinking it would be good enough. When I got the cable though, it is only long enough to wrap around one wheel and then to the u-lock. I can't stretch it enough to wrap around the second wheel or the pole for that matter. If I could order all over again, I would probably get the six foot cable. I can say that even though the cable is 4 feet, it is solid and looks pretty strong. Of course you will need a u-lock to go with this, but for just a quick run to the grocery store, this should be just fine.

4.0 out of 5 stars Useful for front wheel and seat lock., December 4, 2009

With a decent U lock, like Kryptonite New York Standard Bicycle U-Lock with Bracket ( 4-Inch x 8-Inch), this will help you keep your bike safe. Yes you are relying it all on one U-lock, but with a good one, that's usually enough. If you want both your seat and your wheel, get the 7ft version. Yes you can cut these cables with a good set of cable cutters, one strand a time. And Amazon sells these cutters. But if all it gets the thief is just the wheel or your seat, chances are they will move to bike which is only locked with a cable and take all of it. Darwin'ian? yes, but everything can be broken given enough time and tools. The key is to make your bike less easy than everyone else's, without weighing your bike down so much that you might as well have bought a Wal-mart special and not bothered with the lock at all.

Focus on layers of security. Park it in a well lit area. Use a decent U-lock, add cables to make it more difficult. And don't rely on the weakest link to keep your bike secure.
