Sports reviews of OnGuard PitBull MINI DT 5008 Bicycle U-Lock and Extra Security Cable
Customer Review: Love this lock!
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I've been using this lock for about a month now and I think it is fantastic. It has good weight and feels very sturdy and well made - I feel confident in leaving my bike in any bike rack around town. Also, having quick releases on both my wheels, the additional cable is very convenient.
I've read that people have broken keys inside their locks, but to be honest - I dont know how people are doing this. If you insert the key in all the way, the key will turn very easily in both directions. The only time the lock gives tension is if the U-rod is not fully inserted into the locking mechanism (letting you know that you're not closing the lock properly). Admittedly, I was hesitant to buy this lock because of all the broken key issues I've read, but once I got my hands on the lock - my doubt went away.
Overall, love the lock. Its small and fits right in my backpack with the cable. The only downside is the cheap strap the lock comes with. I didn't even bother with it since I figured I would break it in a few rides. But security is the key when buying a lock, and I'm certain I'm getting plenty of it with this lock. I'd recommend it to fellow riders.
Customer Review: Top quality, small, excellent lock
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
For the money I don't think you can get a better compact lock. If you are looking for something smaller than the standard size, this is what I would recommend. I park my bike on a college campus everyday with this, and haven't had any problems (I did just get a On Guard Brute to supplement this lock, which I also recommend). It is on the small side, but I can generally fit my frame, rear wheel, and bike rack in it. It is tight though, and sometimes it doesn't fit. I am always able to get at least my frame to the rack though, it just depends on the size of the rack. My only complaint is the mounting bracket partially broke within a month of owning it. It still functions and holds the lock fine, some of the plastic holding the lock just chipped off, so it might not be functional soon.Customer Review: Solid Lock
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
This lock will definitely keep your bike safe. Don't be fooled by the name "Mini DT" because this thing is solid. To give you an idea, I weighed components:
U-lock - 2 lbs 5 oz.
Cable - 11 oz.
Combined - 3 lbs.
Dimensions of the U-lock:
Width - 6 in.
Height - 7.8 in.
Diameter of thickest part - 1.75 in.
Length of cable - 46 in.
The frame mount is pretty good (easy to install, you'll need a hex wrench though) and it comes with 5 keys (seems like overkill, but whatever.)
For the price and the free shipping, its a no brainer.
Get it and be done with it.
Customer Review: Great Lock Had For a Good Price!
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
This is a great lock purchased for a good price. OnGuard makes a high-quality product and has a good reputation. I have purchased their products before and have always been impressed with them. This U-style lock and cable combination is given a 4+ star rating by OnGuard making it one of their tougher locks. The U lock is of a very sturdy construction and looks the part. The quality of the lock is unquestionable. The locking mechanism used on this lock provides a high level of security as well as peace of mind.
Overall, I gave this lock and cable combination 5 stars due to its security rating, quality of construction, and fit and finish.
Customer Review: Compact And Sufficient Cycling Lock
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
This lock is strong enough, but also light in weight and compact in size to carry on your bike or even in your rear pack, when the rider decides to stop and walk and look around town. I chose this lock because of its' compact size, yet still having the security as a small U-lock should. I would recommend this product to all riders who like to stop and look around for a while. It also came with a thick cable which also can be stored in a person's messenger bag or on the bike.OnGuard PitBull MINI DT 5008 Bicycle U-Lock and Extra Security Cable
