Customer Review: Good basic lock
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
Good basic lock for commuting around school and downtown (San Diego). It's small and light but feels really sturdy. The lock fits around my mountain bike wheel, which is good since I was concerned the size was too small but it fits just right when locked around a bike post or fence, definitely not a pole though. The wire came thicker than I expected and is a nice extra deterrent, although I hardly use it because of the hassle and because I keep telling myself that no one is going to steal my front tire from my beat bike :). Overall, I recommend this if you're looking for a reliable lock with some extra deterrents, this is it.Customer Review: great lock.

I was a bit hesitant buying this lock because I was not sure how "mini" it would be, but it fits my needs well, as long as you are not trying to lock up two bikes to some bike rack or locking it to something thats thicker than... hmm I dont know, a coke can? it will work just fine, and even then it comes with the handle cable, which I am using for two reasons, both my wheels are quick release and I recently had my bike (my dear bike) stolen, so I'm doing all I can to avoid that, and this seems to be a good deter-ant.Customer Review: very good for the price

I have had this lock for a couple months now, and am very happy with it. I agree with others who say that the key is a little funky sometimes, but in practice, I've been careful not to force it, and have had no problems. I also use the Sheldon Brown method, though on my road bike, I can fit the U around my rear tire + the frame and bike rack, and still loop the cable to the front tire. I don't bother with the bracket, I carry the lock either in a bag, or simply with the cable slung over my back like a shoulder bag.Customer Review: Lives up to its name

Solid little lock that would have lasted me a lifetime had I not left it in a cab one drunken night. The U-Lock fits in a back pocket, and I've never had trouble fitting it around frame, wheel, and pole. (It just barely fits fatter sign-poles, but it will-- if your frame is up against the pole.) Retails for $45 or so, so any price below that is a GREAT deal, especially with the extra cable. Give the U-Lock a squirt of WD40 every so often to quench its thirst.Customer Review: Goog lock, handy cable

Don't toss the cable.
It's not short indeed. The cable does not have to go "two ways" like those with embedded locks. Just tie the cable around the front rim by pulling one end loop through another (the tip is on the product photo) and hook the "free" end to the U-Lock.
In most cases you can pull the cable through the rear rim as well. I'm using Sheldon Brown's locking method, the cable length could be even shorter for it.
