Sports reviews of Avenir Tightrope Cables (12mm / 7 feet)
Customer Review: Great, 1/2" diameter cable
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
At 1/2" diameter, this cable is thicker than Kryptonite's 3/8 (10mm) x 7' cable. And, less expensive. Obviously, a little heavier to carry. But, perhaps a bit more of a deterrent.
I see people rate cables low because their bike was stolen. Everyone needs to realize that a cable is not adequate security except in low-theft areas. And even then: only for a quick trip inside a convenience store (to prevent the bike from being picked up and carried away). For everything else, you should use a U-lock. (Use that to lock the rear wheel through the chainstay/seatstay tubes to a bike rack). The cable is handy to loop through the front wheel, seat and rear rack. Most thieves won't go to the trouble of cutting a cable just for a seat or front wheel. (For more expensive front wheels, they probably have quick release axles and you're better off putting the front tire next to the rear tire and through the U Lock.).
Riding around, I'm amazed at how many bikes I see that are secured incorrectly. Bikes left at bus stops, locked with a cable. Or, U Locks through a front wheel. Those people increase my security because thieves will target those bikes because mine would be too much more difficult.
When you use the right tool for the right job, and use the tool correctly, it can be effective. The Avenir cable is very effective when used appropriately.
BTW: The only negative of this cable is that it doesn't come with a velcro strap to keep the cable wound up.
