5.0 out of 5 stars Best cable lock I've had, July 21, 2008

FIrst things, first. If a bike thief really wanted your bike, he'll get it no matter what kind of lock you have. Think of bike locks in general as just a "deterrent." That being said, I only use this lock for use on quick errands and areas of high foot traffic. If you plan on leaving a bike anywhere long, I'd suggest a U-lock in conjunction with a cable lock.
I've had another combo cable lock in the past. This one is the best. The combo was so easy to set. I like the use of a combo lock since I never have to worry about losing a key. The only way I can lose my combo is if I lose my mind. The lock mechanism has great engineering/machining by the way the combo numbers spin and the way it smoothly locks together. The length is perfect for locking up your quick-release wheels. This comes with two velco tethers to securely keep the lock together instead of just one.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good medium security bike lock, June 1, 2007

Altogether, this is a well-put together lock. I like the fact that it has a changeable combination and requires no tools to do so, just a little lever on the inside mating face. Considering the thickness of the cable, the thickness of the lock=pin seems a little on the wimpy side. still, I twisted and yanked as hard as I could on the thing and nothing happened to it. The lock has an intimidating look to it as well. I'd say that if you're in anywhere but a notorious high-theft area, this lock will work well for you. It's pretty light weight. Just don't count on it not being cut by a large pair of bolt cutters if you ride in really bad areas.

Does the job well and slightly easier to use (visibility of numbers) than the more expensive No. 1 brand I also bought. Price unbelievable right now.
