Bike U Lock With Vandalproof Cable – VIA VELO Heavy Duty Bicycle U Lock shackle 15mm with 3 Keys and Weatherproof Shock Lock Set, Bike Tire Lock For Road Bike Mountain Bike Electric Bike Folding Bike

I was getting fed up going to the shops with a Kryptonite New York Fahgettaboudit. They weigh a ton and they're impossible to carry easily. While I wouldn't leave my bike in the West End with anything less I'd come to the view that something you could carry on the frame would be ideal for a couple of hours in the supermarket.It looked good enough, but really, you'd need a frame about twice the size of mine to find anywhere to put it. On the bracket it stands proud by about 40mm. For example on a down tube the effective length of the lock is across a theoretical rectangle encompassing all the sticky out bits. You could fit it to a Brompton and that's about it. I should have measured more carefully before I bought it but the little diagram showing all the places they thought it could go seduced me. This isn't a comment on its security features but on the feature that sets it apart.

Bought this lock due to my previous bicycle being stolen (they used bolt cutters). This D-Lock and cable are a completely different proposition. If they can get through this cable or indeed hack the D-Lock then they are welcome to my 'new' bicycle with my blessing. A message to those would be thieves "Good Luck!"

To be clear, the lock looked really secure, was quite weighty, and looked the part. It is probably as good as the one I purchased after returning this one. The point is it has not got the required gold rating that a number of other locks have. It may be true that locks with the standard are as or less secure than this one, and that a determined thief would get through any lock. The point is my insurance (and I believe many) policy only covers me for theft outside a locked building, if the bike is secured using a Gold standard approved lock. This one isn’t, hence why it was returned. The one I finally purchased is gold rated, looked as robust and had a similar spec but was cheaper, so I have reduced my rating accordingly.

The bracket that attaches the lock to the bicycle does not work. It cannot be attached to a frame as the bolts cannot be fully tightened. Also the actual lock cannot be released from the bracket recepticle once attached. The act of trying to release it destroyed part of the actual lock. This all means that wherever I go I now have to carry the heavy lock in a bag or rucksack because I cant attach it to my bike – rubbish item. There are so many other locks to choose from. I wish I'd chosen one of them.

This a robust bike lock, the product feel good and heavy, it can lock up both my kids bike together with the cable provided in the pack. Comes with 3 keys which ideal for them and spare at home.Overall very please what I paid for+++++

Really pleased with this bike lock. Sturdy and strong. Can lock the bike, helmet and seat!Would recommend!

It is such a durable lock which is exceeding my expectations! It looks very secure to lock my expensive bike outside and finally I don’t need to worry about my bike being stolen!

This is a type of lock similar to the "Kryptonite" locks I used back in the 1970s. A great way to secure your bicycle, tricycle, wheelchair, mobility scooter or whatever vehicle you wish to lock up.
