Easy to set the code and very strong, but not a long cable. It just manages to go round both wheels and a lamp post so that’s fine – no good if you’re wanting to “double up” with another bike but it does the job for me and a good price.
CAUTION : nothing is angle grinder proof !
As a middle-aged dad who loves biking with my family and taking my kids on outdoor adventures, I can’t stress enough how important it is to have a reliable lock. This Bicycle Lock has truly impressed me with its durability, rust resistance, and keyless convenience.
The steel cable core of this lock is twisted and tough, ensuring that it can withstand daily wear and tear. No matter how much I tug or pull on it, this lock holds strong, giving me peace of mind that my bike is secure. The PVC shell adds another layer of protection by preventing rust that can damage both the lock and my bike.
The lock cylinder can handle accidental drops without compromising its reliability. It’s reassuring to know that even if I accidentally drop it while trying to unlock my bike, the lock remains intact.
This lock is versatile and reliable in safeguarding various outdoor items like motorcycles and sports equipment. As a family, we love exploring different activities outdoors, and knowing that this lock can protect more than just our bikes gives us added convenience and peace of mind.
To sum it up, this Bicycle Lock is an excellent investment for anyone who values the security of their outdoor gear. I highly recommend this lock, especially for the price!
I think this lock is aimed towards kids and it is suited to that. You wouldn’t use it to secure an expensive adults bike for any prolonged period. It shouts out look at me and there are stronger alternatives available. However, the colour will appeal to the younger generation and it is quite lightweight. Also there are no keys to lose. I also found it easy to lock/unlock. It is strong enough to deter any random thief who isn’t carrying cable cutters around with them…
Small, lightweight and easy to set the code on, this is a decent combination lock, and the fact that it’s a 5-digit code rather than 4 adds a layer of extra security against thieves scrolling through every possible number. Of course most thieves won’t be doing that, but cutting through the cable, and this probably isn’t the most resistant to that kind of attack. The nice bright colour is debatable too – does it shout “I have a lock!” or “I don’t have a D-lock…” Bottom line, this is better than nothing, and is light and easy. Probably wouldn’t use it as the sole look for my best road bike though….

Bear in mind that a highly rated bicycle lock can cost over 100-150, then that tells you of the quality of this and what to expect from it.
The cable is thick and the lock is bulky. It has a clip to hold the cable that can be fitted around the frame, so you don’t need to carry the lock with you — it stays on the bike.
You wrap the cable around a wheel (rear is best as they are more expensive than front wheels) and then around a post and lock it — simple.
At this price, I didn’t think it worth destroying a lock with an angle grinder to test how strong it is, so this review is entirely on the usability of the lock and what it is aimed at. It is easy to use and easy to ride with and I think it would work well for a smaller, less expensive bike. If your child cycles to school, for instance, this lock would work well. The bright colours also help to act as a deterrent so that is a plus as well.
I’m giving it 4 stars as five might give potential buyers the wrong idea. If you have a bike worth thousands of pounds, you would be best advised spending 100+ pounds to make sure your dream bike is as secure as it can be. It would be madness to spend a couple of thousand on a bike then expect a 7 quid lock to keep it safe.
This is a lock for deterring opportunistic thefts. It won’t stand up to a tooled-up bike thief. The build quality seems decent but the housing around the cylinder is plastic and could be smashed with a hammer and steel cables are easily cut with the right tool. Furthermore, there is no Sold Secure rating for this lock so if your bike gets stolen while locked up using this you are unlikely to be able to claim on your insurance.
The combination is easy to change and the cylinder does not appear to be susceptible to the flaws that plague other cheap combination locks. The supplied mount is functional. Personally I don’t have space on my seat post due to having lights there but if you do it will do the job. There is a little bit of play between the lock and the mount so there may be bit of rattling on rough surfaces. As its a cable lock you could just wrap it around the base of your seat post or head tube if you can’t use the mount.
If you want to stop somebody wheeling your bike away while you’re in a village store for 2 minutes, this will do the job without weighing you down significantly. If you want to leave your bike at a train station all day or in a city centre bike rack, get something more expensive with a top rating from Sold Secure.
