Sports reviews of OnGuard Akita 5043 Bicycle Security Cable (Lock Not Included)
Customer Review: Hasn't been stolen yet!
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
Unfortunately, I often have to leave my bike locked up in more dangerous parts of Oakland, CA for 4+ hours a day. This cable (to lock the front wheel to the U-lock) used in conjunction with a solid U-lock (to lock rear wheel and frame to the bicycle rack) is usually sufficient to deter thieves.
However, last night I came back from work to find that someone had attempted to cut through the cable to steal my front wheel, successfully sliced through the vinyl cable cover and a few strands of steel, gave up, and contented him/herself to letting the air out of my tires and stealing the bicycle light mounts. Everything else was still there.
The cable did its job, and I will buy another one. (Only negative observed so far: It's about a foot longer than I or most people require.)
Customer Review: OnGuard 5043 Security Cable
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
Good design and well built cable. Ends are large enough to wrap many things through. Perfect length to lock both tires of a bike with (it's a little tight at first, but with practice one can figure out how to make the cable reach a little further). Perfect for bikes with quick release tires. Should be used in conjunction with a fortified O-lock or U-Bolt for best results.Customer Review: OnGuard Akita 5043

Does what it supposed to do. Keep my wheels and seat with my bicycle. Use this with a u-lock, not by itself! Will say the yellow ends make it a little tight for running through my seat, fixed that by getting rid of the QR. I think it is the perfect length for looping around front wheel and up through the seat and then down to the u-lock.Customer Review: Much stiffer and heavier than it looks online

I bought this cable thinking I would use it to thread through my bike seat to keep it from getting stolen (using a separate lock for the bike itself). This cable is actually very sturdy and thick enough to use on an entire low-value bike. The cable is stiff and heavy, and it is too big as a seat-keeper.Customer Review: can't beat the value - good cable

Excellent cable to be used as secondary (you should really never lock your bike with cable only). it's a bit longer than i thought, but that's my fault. Sturdy and well made, if you have this around a tire for a supplemental measure, trust me, no one will bother trying to take your wheels. Good Product!
