Sports reviews of OnGuard Brute STD 5001 Bike U-Lock
Customer Review: Lots of weaknesses
Sport shop rating: 1 Stars
1. The bike mount attachment is ridiculously fragile as it is just plastic. I tried to use it at first but it became impossible and VERY DANGEROUS as my U-Lock fell 2 times on the road while I was biking. I soon decided to buy a basket so I could put it inside (I even put scratches on it so it would not move an inch while riding).
2. My U-lock litterally felt apart one day without no reason after just 5 months of use.
So okay, I just told that my U-lock fell at the beginning b/c I was trying to use the attach. But after that, everything went perfectly fine for 4 months...until last week ! I unlocked my lock and it fell apart in 3 pieces (the upper part of the lock with the plastic sides and the metallic part of the center). It was really creepy because I could clearly see that some little parts of plastic were broken and that it was only plastic inside !!! I really don't feel safe now !
I went to my bike store and they gave me another lock (same model) for free.
I 've had the new one for one week now and I can already see that it is not reliable. It has trouble closing and today I saw that the plastic part that is connected to the metallic part was slightly dislocated. By pushing on it, it went back to its place but it is absolutely unacceptable for a 1 week U-lock that never received any shock !!!
You could say that it was bad luck but my husband got the same model and is having some troubles as well. A few weeks after buying it, he noticed that the upper part of the lock was moving when the lock is closed. He kept using it until now (it's been 5 months) but it is getting worse weeks after weeks...
