Judging from the reviews here, however, many people buy this lock expecting it to do something that it's not designed to do. Therein lies the problem. It's like expecting a fast food restaurant to provide white linen table service and then complaining when it doesn't. What made you think you could expect that in the first place? Without wishing to insult anyone's intelligence, one look at this lock should tell you that it's intended for use where mild deterrence is all that's needed. A little common sense goes a long way, folks. For example I used it frequently on a recent vacation to Cape Cod, MA, where my son and I took many rides and then locked our bikes up when stopping to engage in other activities. I also use it with confidence in my hometown, which is a quiet suburban area. On the other hand I wouldn't consider using this lock to secure my bike in downtown Manhattan. Nor would I fault the lock if it failed to deter thieves in a busy...

This is typical for locks of this type. However, the combination dials on this lock rotate far too easily.Thus, when locking the bike, any slight contact with something else moves the combination dials and then you can't insert the other end of the cable until you set the dials again. The same applies after unlocking the bike and you are recoiling the lock to stow it away. If anything slightly touches the dials, you have to set the combination dials again so that you can insert the other end of the cable. My old Kryptonite combination dials had more friction in them and this never happened. |
