Sports reviews of OnGuard PitBull MINI DT 5008 Bicycle U-Lock and Extra Security Cable
Customer Review: Excellent "Mini" U-Lock
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
The lock is very robust, no one is going to break is without destroying the bicycle or using professional powertools. The lock fits snugly around the bicycle frame and the cable is long enough to lock both wheels. Overall, an excellent product!Customer Review: great lock, fast shipping
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
This lock is awesome, its lighter than some of the other on-guard locks, or other high quality locks, but at the same time its stronger than most of them. Highly recommend.Customer Review: Excellent value and awesome security!
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I have no complaints at all. More secure than the Kryptonite Evo Series and less expensive. Solid, easy to use, attractive, easy to carry.
100% satisfied!!!

Big, tough, heavy looks indestructible and comes with insurance.
I think it was a bargain.
Customer Review: Great lock, terrible bracket
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
The lock itself is great; it's sturdy, compact, and easy to use. Multiple keys are handy, it unlocks without much trouble, and it's just the right size to go around my road bike frame and tire. Google "Sheldon Brown bike lock" for a good technique, this lock works perfectly for his recommended method. 5 stars for the lock.
The mounting bracket, however, is terrible. The cinching strap never tightens enough to keep the lock from moving all over the place, the tightening bolt strips out entirely too easily, and the most recent issue is that the actual slot that the lock sits in broke out, rendering the entire bracket useless. Now I either have to hook the lock around the frame and listen to it rattle around and scratch up the paint, or put it in my backpack. 0 stars for the bracket.
Bottom line: if you have an alternative method of carrying the lock (ie backpack, cargo pocket, or don't mind it rattling on your frame) this is perfect. The additional security cable is a nice touch too, makes locking the front tire to the frame a breeze. But OnGuard really needs to get their act together when it comes to the mounting bracket.
