Bell Hands Off Bike U-Lock Review

Bell Hands Off Bike U-LockMy bike was locked right outside my door to a metal railing with this lock. Went out, came back 4 hrs later and bike was gone, all this in broad daylight in the middle of the day. Unlike one of the other reviewers, I dont know how the lock was broken, but if you live in an area where many bikes are stolen, buy a better lock.

OnGuard Akita 5041 Bicycle Combination Cable Lock Review

OnGuard Akita 5041 Bicycle Combination Cable LockAltogether, this is a well-put together lock.I like the fact that it has a changeable combination and requires no tools to do so, just a little lever on the inside mating face.Considering the thickness of the cable, the thickness of the lock=pin seems a little on the wimpy side.still, I twisted and yanked as hard as I could on the thing and nothing happened to it.The lock has an intimidating look to it as well.I'd say that if you're in anywhere but a notorious high-theft area, this lock will work well for you.It's pretty light weight.Just don't count on it not being cut by a large pair of bolt cutters if you ride in really bad areas.

OnGuard Terrier Combo 4 5061 Combination Cable Lock Review

OnGuard Terrier Combo 4 5061 Combination Cable LockThe lock is exactly as the product description states. Therefore, I am giving it 5 stars because the product is exactly what it claims to be (the create your own combination is especially nice).

However, after getting this lock, I feel most people would be much better off with something different. I use the lock for securing my bike. I wanted something that was small and light, but didn't realize just how small this product really is. The cable is pretty short, just barely long enough to secure the frame and both wheels, so usually I have to leave one wheel unsecured if locking the bike to something. Also, the cable is very thin and just looks like it could easily be cut with a good wire cutter. Fortunately, I live in a small suburb where most people don't even bother locking up their bikes, so this is a nice small/light solution. However, when I commute to work I still bring the 12mm cable and U-Lock because I don't trust this little thing in a city like Milwaukee.

Avenir Coil Combo Cable Locks (10mm / 6 feet) Review

Avenir Coil Combo Cable LocksFits all my needs - stays looped, glides open easily when the right combo is entered, and not when it isn't.Stretches enough to get it around the front tire, frame, and even a thick pole.The portion that screws on to the frame baffles me - it doesn't lock, and having the cable attached to it just leaves you with this awkward loop of cable sticking off of your bike.I just use it like a regular cable lock.I don't live in a particularly high-theft area (I'm in VA, just south of DC) and I feel pretty comfortable leaving my bike with this while I visit friends, go to the library, do some shopping, whatever.
