I bought this to use not a as a bike lock, but a luggage lock. I spent two months abroad during which time I was living in hostels and used public transportation in a city with known crime. With that in mind, and knowing that the hostel (out of 3 available, the one with the best ratings) had reports of people just walking off with someone else's luggage, I purchased this bike lock. I was able to actually sleep at night with my luggage locked to my bed, and leave the hostel during the day without wondering if I'd come back to an empty room. That being said, I agree with another reviewer who said that if someone wants to steal it (bike or luggage) it'll happen.
PROS
*Sturdy, well-built (especially the combination part, it does not feel as though it could be easily broken)
*Sense of security (though my room mates thought I was a crazy American)
*Length allowed me to strap two large suitcases and a camera case to a bed
*Can be used to lock up almost anything and comes with a special piece that locks around the bike itself
CONS
*Heavy (but at least you know your item is protected)
*Resetting the combination is too easy, so I worried that someone would be able to either reset it and run off with my luggage or reset it so I couldn't get my luggage
*Item coiled so tightly I had a hell of a time trying to stretch out the kinks to wrap it around my luggage...especially when pulled taut, I had to be careful to either not let it snap back, or duck to avoid getting taken out when it recoiled. This is a heavy item, so I didn't take lightly to the thought of being smacked in the face by it.
Overall, I am pleased with this purchase and the versatility of the item. It was a great deal and I'll recommend it to anyone else planning a hostel stay or a bike purchase.
Customer Review: Does what it's supposed to do....creates a buffer zone.
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
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.
Customer Review: Working out so far
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
It is a little difficult to attach this, but not majorly. I am an extremely weak individual and found it a little trying to get the mount figured out because there are removable rings and I wasn't sure how many I would need, or how to get the mount to open enough to fit around the bike. However, I DID get it figured out eventually and now it's been perfect with no problems and an easy on and off as needed. The lock is also easy to set with your own combination.Customer Review: Strong and convenient
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
This lock is well built and sturdy. It conveniently fastens to and releases from a base under the cross bar of my bike. The tumblers rotate smoothly. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is it will not open unless the correct numbers are aligned exactly. Even if you have the right sequence of numbers in a line if one is just a hair off it will not open. Excellent lock though and very satisfied with the purchase.
