Customer Review: Big on Security, Truly Mini in Size
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
In terms of durability and strength, this is a great lock. However, the mini size, designed to cut down on the leverage space between your bicycle and the rack, also make this a challenging fit for larger framed bikes. I have a women's Giant Cypress (a hybird) and there's no way this lock will fit around the hefty frame, the wider quick-release tire and the bike rack. The lock will fit around the frame and rack alone.
If you're concerned about securing a quick-release tire on a mountain bike or hybrid in addition to the frame (say you live in a college town where kids like to steal things regardless of value just for the heck of it) you may want to consider one of OnGuards larger locks or this lock in combination with a cable lock to secure any parts that are less tempting targets yet are quick and easy to remove.
Customer Review: A good 'bang for the buck' lock for your bike.
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
When it comes to bicycle looks, every choice you make is a trade off. Top of the line locks are pricey , and also heavier and more cumbersome to carry. Less expensive and more lightweight locks are easier for a thief to bypass.
Overall this particular U-lock offers a good balance of weight, security and price. In low to moderate crime areas it is perfectly serviceable on it's own. In high crime areas, it should be used in conjunction with a more robust chain lock, which would provide an extra layer of security that a thief would have to overcome.
Either way, it's a good value either as a main lock in lower crime areas, or as a secondary lock in areas where bike theft is a bigger concern.
Customer Review: Excellent lock
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
This is an excellent little lock that I use nearly every day. The locking mechanism seems a tiny bit fragile, but as long as you're careful it should be fine. The two yellow ends on the lock eventually began tearing so I ripped them off, surprisingly I think it looks better being all black. I feel comfortable locking my bike up overnight with this lock, and I suggest locking it based on what a previous reviewer had suggested (the back wheel through the frame triangle). The bike mount system works ok, and looks slightly cheap, but gets the job done. Overall, this is an excellent lock for an excellent price.Customer Review: Compact, very sturdy, great quality
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I am very impressed with the OnGuard Bulldog MINI. It is not too heavy, but feels very solid. It comes with a large key with an LED light, and four non-lighted spares! Also has a nice mounting bracket with very user-friendly instructions and lots of pictures.
I actually use it to lock up my Segway's "LeanSteer" frame for extra protection in shady areas. I wasn't sure if it would work, but the mounting bracket is very adjustable.
Highly recommended!
Customer Review: Solid bike lock, love the extra keys!
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I like the smaller size, I haven't had any problems so far finding something to lock it to that you might expect and it fits easily in my frame. Having all those extra keys is a great backup, and in a couple months of daily usage I haven't had any of the keys snap off in the lock. One of the keys is also integrated with a LED light, which is really handy! This is definitely sturdier than my old cable lock which jammed, highly recommended.
