 Excellent lock & great value. May 5, 2006

This is a fantastic lock, especially for the money. Although it doesn't specify the lock does come with a carrying bracket. The bracket can be configured to carry the lock in the original upright position or you can undo 1 bolt and turn the bracket 90 degrees and lock it back down. The bracket tab on the lock itself can be positioned and locked down allowing you to carry your lock in a variety of ways.
As for the supplied cable it just fits through my front wheel and back through the U-Lock if I'm using my U-Lock through the rear wheel which is great in my book. Unless you use some extra Velcro strapping (1 is included with the cable) or some small ties you will have to carry the cable in a seperate bag etc.
The 5 keys are great as most lock companies only give you 1 spare key. The lighted key works extremely well. All 5 keys come together on a keyring with a "key-code" card attached so you can order more keys if needed. The keys seem a better quality then other lock companies use as they don't seem like they will snap at the slightest use.
You have to keep the key in the lock when inserting the U-Lock back into the locking mechanism or it will not go. The lock opens very easy, no forcing is required. You have to turn the key a full 180 degrees to open and close the lock. What else can I say, it's just a great lock and cable combo at a very nice price.
very good for the price June 8, 2009

I have had this lock for a couple months now, and am very happy with it. I agree with others who say that the key is a little funky sometimes, but in practice, I've been careful not to force it, and have had no problems. I also use the Sheldon Brown method, though on my road bike, I can fit the U around my rear tire + the frame and bike rack, and still loop the cable to the front tire. I don't bother with the bracket, I carry the lock either in a bag, or simply with the cable slung over my back like a shoulder bag.
Goog lock, handy cable April 18, 2009

Don't toss the cable.
It's not short indeed. The cable does not have to go "two ways" like those with embedded locks. Just tie the cable around the front rim by pulling one end loop through another (the tip is on the product photo) and hook the "free" end to the U-Lock.
In most cases you can pull the cable through the rear rim as well. I'm using Sheldon Brown's locking method, the cable length could be even shorter for it.
Nice little system! June 24, 2007

So upon becoming ridiculously attached to my first road bike, I decided to buy a decent locking system. I did a good amount of research and went with this little guy (also keeping funds in mind :)
It's worked great for me thus far. Sometimes I have to be a little picky as far as what I lock it to since it's a mini and the shackle is a bit smaller. However, I follow the Sheldon Brown locking system so I usually have no problem. Then I just loop the security cable through my front tire, then around what I'm locking to and then back to the lock. It's great!
Everything about the lock bracket is true though. It just feels really cheap to me. The last thing I want is to be riding around and have my lock falling off in the middle of a busy street. So I just toss the lock and cable in my bag. I've also put the lock on my frame while I ride and it's worked just as well.
Another thing I've noticed is that the crossbar only locks on the shackle one way. Sometimes I'll go to lock it and the key won't turn. So I just flip the crossbar over and it's fine. Not a big deal.
I definitely recommend this lock! It's perfect for the price. Or at least until you can save up for The Beast or a Kryptonite :)
Great lock May 13, 2007

I bought this lock because regular locks would not fit on our mountain bikes. The area between the crossbars was crowded with a waterbottle. This lock fits very nicely in the small area, and the extra cable is worth its weight in gold. I easily lock up my back tire to a pole and loop the cable through my front tire and the lock. It's a great little system. I also bought a bike seat storage pouch for the cable. It conveniently stores away there.
Many people said the holder was cheap when I read reviews. I don't agree with them. Mine works great and is very secure.
I had one complaint. The lock I received was not the one pictured. Mine has yellow ends on the locking bar. I think the modle number ended in TC, but I believe it is the same lock. It works great.
