Sports reviews of Avenir Coil Combo Cable Locks (10mm / 6 feet)
Customer Review: A++ grade, quality cable lock with 10k possible combinations
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
First of all, I am a hardcore biker in NYC. And by living in NYC, I know how often the bikes get stolen. So, a durable cable lock is a must for me. I was looking for a good, reliable and cheap cable lock for my bikes that I can use it without keys (so that I don't have to worry about loosing keys).
I began my search from Wal-Mart, and found that a thick cable locks with keys start around 15 bucks, but I didnt found them extremely reliable, so I went to many well known sports stores, but it was the similar kind of situation there as well. Finally, while searching online, when I glanced over this lock, with 4.5 out of 5 stars review, thought to give it a try.
And I must say, it hasn't disappointed me at all.
This lock is an extremely high quality, logically made, durable and most importantly CHEAP. You are paying very little for what you get.
Two thumbs up for both Amazon as well as Avenir. Might end up buying more of these.
Customer Review: Great lock for the price.
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
Of course, this is not the "best" lock you can get, but it is a deterrent that meets my requirements and at the price, is a great buy.
I put the mount on the frame on the top tube close to the seat. The quick release has a confident, solid click into place for attaching the lock cable. The cable itself retains the coil well, and it does not rub against the bike frame while riding so no wear marks. It's also a rather light lock solution for being 10mm compared to others I checked out when shopping.
The combination is easy to set, and easy to change.
If for some reason I buy a second bike, I would be happy to buy this lock to go with it.
You can't beat it for the price/weight/performance.
Customer Review: Great product with customizable code
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I purchased this product for my son and his new bike. I didn't want a lock with a key, as he is forever losing the keys. Padlocks tend to disappear when not in use, as well. I saw this, saw it had good review scores, and purchased it.
What I love best about it is that the code is one you choose. This made it easy for my son to pick a set of 4 numbers that he can easily remember. And it was easy to choose it, and easy to change it.
It's also long enough to wrap around both tires, the frame, and the pole we use to secure the bike (when he remembers that is!).
I highly recommend this for any child or adult, as it really is easy and simple to use.
Customer Review: Easy to Use (but not to break, hopefully!)

Fits all my needs - stays looped, glides open easily when the right combo is entered, and not when it isn't. Stretches enough to get it around the front tire, frame, and even a thick pole. The portion that screws on to the frame baffles me - it doesn't lock, and having the cable attached to it just leaves you with this awkward loop of cable sticking off of your bike. I just use it like a regular cable lock. I don't live in a particularly high-theft area (I'm in VA, just south of DC) and I feel pretty comfortable leaving my bike with this while I visit friends, go to the library, do some shopping, whatever.Customer Review: Super

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.
