Handy lock

- Bjorn, 22 September, 2023

Handy to keep your bike from being too easy a prey for casual thieves during stops. It is not a real anti-theft lock, with a bit of pliers it is easy to cut the cable but it provides an extra action/delay for occasional thieves when you do not have your bike in sight. Small, light, flexible and therefore easy to carry in saddlebag/jersey pocket/etc. You can easily personalise the standard code yourself, the explanation is on the cardboard packaging.

Pros & Cons

Coating of cable protects frame from scratches
Easy to carry
Easy to set personal code
Long enough to attach to object or

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

Excellent lock!

- Dennis, 21 June, 2023

Fine lock for the purpose I used it for (extra security bikes on bike rack). As a standalone lock probably not enough security.

Pros & Cons

Simple and effective
Less suitable as sole security

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
