I first bought this item three years ago and it does the job. I decided not to splash to heavily on a lock because I thought if someone is going to steal a bike and break a lock, they will do it with whatever lock is on the bike. Although this not be entirely true, I still have my bike and the lock has been brilliant.Unfortunately, the key broke in the lock after having the lock and key for three years and the key had seemed to become very malleable and weak, which may reflect the quality and durability. However, this has not stopped me buying the lock for a second time, costing less than £5 and I have had it since the start of January and its seems that it will last for another couple of years (currently as good as new).Therefore,

This product arrived well within the delivery period and was wrapped in the usual 'no nonsense' Amazon packaging.It is very difficult to review a cycle lock because you never know how effective the lock is unless your cycle is stolen! At which point you stand there with your hands on your hips and say '****** it! that lock was useless' or words to that effect!I suspect that most cycle locks are more of a deterrent than an actual stopping point for thieves.However this lock looks robust enough for purpose, and the cable is long enough to lock two or three bikes together and is indeed self coiling.The key turns with a satisfying click and the lock snaps together without the use of the key.All

To cut a long story short, this is a great buy. But if you want more specific answers, read on...The product arrived on time and I was happy with it straight away. It has a lovely weight to it, however it is light enough to carry around in your bag, on your bike etc. There are two keys and both work perfectly well, it is always reassuring and handy to have a back-up! You would be silly to think 'It's too cheap, I'll get a more expensive one that will be better.' Don't be fooled by the price, it does the job perfectly well, it is genuinely a very good price! Would recommend to anyone wanting a trusty, cheap bike lock.ps. If my bike gets stolen I will be very embaressed,

I cannot fault this padlock. I have been using it for a very long time now, and works really well. The tough plastic coating seems like it could withstand a lot, and it's a nice weight. The lock itself is great. Master produce fantastic locks, and if you do have an issue, like rust or corrosion, they should replace it, which is a bonus.The only thing I have not tried is to break into it. It's not going to be easy to pick. I did actually see one of these padlocks attached to a wheel of a bike, which was attached to a bike rail. Now that shows it's a good strong lock, sadly the rest of the bike was missing, but the wheel was still there.

This is quite a narrow cable, but from experience, if a thief wants a ride home and yours is unlocked they'll take it. This lock gives you that piece of mind. Saying that, if they want your bike, they'll do whatever it takes to get it. An old bike of mine had the D type lock and it was stolen. The thief needed a ride home as as mine was the last one, they hack sawed through the lock, even though it was supposed to be impossible!In short, it's a cheap cable, but it's better than nothing! I bought 3 of them as I have 3 cyclists in the family. It came 3000 miles from the UK to Saudi in the space of 4 days, I'm very impressed!

Seems a fairly solid build. Just the right length to tie to lampost,metal railings and other structures in close proximity. It comes coiled up(as shown in the image,but not impossibly tight) so if you are thinking about stretching it alot then you may find it slightly fiddly. I can comfortably take my bike to most places without fear of it getting stolen. Being key operated it does mean another key to add to my increasing collection of keys! However, I would rather prefer a key than try to fiddle with a code-especially when fingers get a bit numb in the cooler months.

This is a great and inexpensive purchase for the occasional/leisure cyclist. However, it is slightly thinner than I was expecting. I don't think it would stand the up against a fairly competent thief in inner city/built up areas. However, its is small and light enough to fit under your saddle around the post without being intrusive. It has enough length to get around both wheels and a very good visual deterrent. For the every day user/commuter leaving their bike outside, I believe that they do do stronger gauges in this range which I would thoroughly recommend.

I purchased this bike lock for just keeping my quick release seat safe. I wouldn't recommend this product for locking your bike up with, I've had something similar to this in the past and locked my bike with it, my bike was then stolen.The bike lock itself is made out of quality materials, but I would recommend you only use it for very quick trips into a shop if you need to lock your bike up or locking something that isn't majorly valuable. I would recommend thicker stronger bike locks for your bike.Great product though.

This is not something you could trust an expensive bike with at a railway station all day with. But if you want to deterr opportunistic thieves when you've left your bike for a short while, it's fine.It's longer than I expected, or needed. Good key (x2), solid lock and reasonable thickness cable. A mini angle grinder or bolt cutter will have this off in no time, but so long as you know its limitations, it's great for what it is.Lighter than a D Lock, more flexible and easier to carry about. Good product.

One thing that isn't clear about this is that it says 8mm thickness, technically the cable inside is about 4-5mm with plastic sheathing around this making it 8mm.This is suitable as a second lock for wheels or for just popping into a shop; as other reviews suggest a thief with a tool could easily cut this so not suitable as a main lock.Very good price and lock appears well made, happy with this purchase as I already have a heavy duty "D" lock and this is for securing the wheels.

As soon as i bought this, people were telling me that buying a cable lock is a bad idea.I don't regret it at all. The fact that its coiling lets me quickly take it off and put it in a small pouch in my bag.The lock itself is great, and the keys slide smoothly in. Its also fairly long, which i a good thing as you can pass the lock through the flame and the tyres easily, and attach it with some distance.Good stable lock, and my bike hasn't gotten stolen yet!

We use this as popping into the shop lock, also our bike is I hope is not that desirable. It’s as described and suits us, I wouldn’t use a main lock as it would be easy to cut through buy any one who wants the bike.I’ve seen 1star reviews, you can see in the pics it’s flimsy, what do you want for £6, if you have a expensive bike or a bike you are leaving all day buy an expensive rated lock, this lock states is low security, don’t blame the lock.

Good lock to deter the opportunist, a determined thief will have little problem removing the cable. Sits nicely under my saddle coiled round the seat stem. The amount of security this cable/lock offers is reflective of the price. I would recommend a dearer more sturdy purchase if your bike is in a dodgy area or you put high value on it. For the price paid this is a good value item that resides discretely and permanently on my bike

Great bike lock. Not the most secure due to the fact it isnt a chain or something more durable but it definitely works. Very easy to use and you get 2 kets with it incase you lose 1 or want to share with someone who also uses the bike lock. Long enough tow rap around bike frame and whatever you're trying it too twice ( but I like to go through the wheel too so just once for me)Would definitely reccomend :)

This is a useful long cable lock which was reasonably priced and does the job of securing one of our grandson's bicycle at school. We had bought a similar lock some time ago for our second grandson from Amazon and the quality is acceptable as a deterrent to opportunist thieves. It is reasonably priced, but if you need a more secure lock for an expensive bike, buy a stronger lock that cannot be cut.
