4 / 5

A lock with psychological effect for thief and owner.

- Martin, 29 July, 2025

Useful for when I go for a cup of coffee on the road and want to put in a bit of security. A bike without this lock is more likely to be taken away.

Pros & Cons

Easy to store
First barrier against theft
Handy
Cable easy to cut
No permanent security

Handy lock for in saddlebag

- Bas, 22 July, 2025

I bought it again a few times because I lost it from saddlebag a few times. That's not a convenient saddlebag you might think, right. But shows how nice this product is

Pros & Cons

Fits in saddlebag
Obviously does not replace a really good lock

Does what it needs to do

- Bianca, 20 August, 2024

When setting it up, the lock closed unnoticed so I didn't know what code it was on and I had to try for a very long time before it opened again.

Pros & Cons

Small
Solid
Setting the code is tricky.
The dials are very small to use

Great lock for quickly securing your bike to something

- Sjoerd, 14 August, 2023

Used during my bikepacking trip. Handy to have when walking into a shop or having a bite to eat. Is not so sturdy that I want to keep my bike out of sight for a long time. Closing it was sometimes a bit awkward, it would have been better if the nipple was at the top.

Pros & Cons

Compact and easy to use
The nipple that needs to be closed is not handy

Pros & Cons

Prevents theft from casual thieves

Lightweight, light protection

- Nicklas, 9 September, 2020

Does the job well of keeping the bike in place long enough to attract the attention if someone applies something more serious than nail clippers to them

Pros & Cons

low weight
lock can almost be pried open with fingers

Great lock

- Michel, 8 September, 2020

Is it a very sturdy lock with seal? No. Is it a good affordable lock that is light and small enough to carry around and protect your carbon steed from theft while you are 10 yards away drinking coffee and eating apple pie? Yes.

Pros & Cons

Cheap
Own code to set
Small and light
Sturdy enough
No extreme protection

Top for a quick pit stop

- Leo, 27 August, 2020

Small handy lock. Don't leave it too long though. A nail file will cut it in half in 5 minutes.

Fine for the purpose

- Michel, 19 August, 2020

Great lock for short protection of your bike. Easy to take with you on a bike ride (60 grams), so fill your water bottle or eat apple pie on a terrace without fear. For this purpose this lock is perfect. The lock seems to me not suitable for long-term protection out of sight, if you are looking for that, you really should buy something else. I am happy with this purchase. Does feel a bit fragile, but couldn't get it open with some force. Set own code I did not find complicated, is doable for the average person.

Pros & Cons

Cheap
Good enough
Set your own code
Feels a bit fragile
