I bought this to keep my bike(s) in my possession when going to the mall, bars, stores, etc. There isn't much to say other then the U lock is very hardy and heavy and the cable is a good thickness as well. It is also nice that the U Lock comes with multiple keys, and the cable comes with a velcro strap to help manage it when riding.
The visible combination of U Lock and cable alone is probably the best deterrent, although if put to the test it looks like they would hold up well. Almost all surfaces of both parts are rubberized so they'll resist scratching your bike's paint. The clasp to hang the U Lock seems somewhat iffy, but I haven't had problems yet. Overall if you want a strong U Lock with a cable to keep your front wheel or seat, this is a great combo at a pretty fair (comparatively) price. |

| This lock has worked well for me. I do not have a fancy $2k bike but nonetheless I still don't want my bike stolen. I know if someone really wants my bike, they will find a way to take it so I like to think of this as a hefty deterrent! I know from reading other reviews that a lock this size can be pried open more easily than the smaller U-locks. However, I like this size because on my medium-large frame hybrid Giant bike, it means I can fit the lock over my frame, front wheel and most SF city bike racks. If you are unsure of what size lock to get, measure your bike! See how thick your frame is and how far apart your front wheel is from your frame. I also like that this lock is big enough to go around less traditional mounting points like thick posts. I can even lock up two bikes with it sometimes when I'm with a friend who forgot their lock! The extra cable is a nice bonus too! I use mine to loop through the bottom of my bike seat! The keys can take a little finesse at times but overall I have had no major frustrations with them. I'd highly recommend this lock! |

| The lock is solid, as is the cable. The cable is only intended to be looped around the front rim and locked to the lock, it's not supposed to be used to secure the bike to anything. That's what the big honkin U-lock is for, you goofballs. So far I like it...I still have my bike and my front wheel and I park it in downtown Oakland. The plastic bracket to mount the lock to your bike is USELESS, I chucked it and bought a rear rack, lol. I sort of agree with the other posters that it's a tad too much lock...it weighs a ton...but I'm of the mind that a thief will choose to follow the path of least resistance. |

| A very solid U-lock. I wish the U were 1..2 inches longer for easier lock of rear wheel and frame (used on 26" bikes). Lighted key a huge plus at night. |

| I bought this on the suggestion of a guy who worked in a bike store. This item was much cheaper on amazon, and still great quality. This is a great deal on a great and secure bike lock... |
