Titanker Bike Lock Cable,Kids Bike Cable Basic Self Coiling Combination Cable Combo Bike Locks with Complimentary Mounting Bracket, 1/2 Inch Diameter(4Feet, 6Feet)

This is exactly as advertised. I love the lock part. Some locks I have had in the past the dials have a lot of play in them to make it feel like the mechanism is cheap. This feels very solid as you dial the numbers and lock and unlock. Really impressed, I love the extra item to hold the lock on your bike. I didn't have room to mount it under my seat as I am a safety nut and have a reflector as well as taillight. I wanted it mounted on the frame part that holds the seat post. It wouldn't fit at first but realized it had a rubber sleeve inside (I guess so not to scratch the frame) so I removed that and voila it fit perfectly. I store it there so now I don't need to remember to bring along the lock when we go. But even without the storage clip I loved it and could have wrapped it around the upper bar of the frame. The clip was a real clincher though! One more thing that was nice, I have had other locks (my previous one which made me somewhat nervous about this one) that are coiled and they are very hard to straighten out to lock the bikes up sometimes pulling out of my hand as they try to recoil themselves. This one was very easy to straighten out and use. I do wonder if the coil will begin to sag after time and then not be able to use the clip because the cable will hang too loosely.

Very happy with the product. I bought it to primarily secure my wife's and my bike when I don't need to use my heavy duty Kryptonite locks. The latter are really heavy to tote around when not needed. So when we stop at a restaurant in a fairly public area or want to take a break and walk around an area I will on using these. I doubt I would use them in unlighted low traffic areas, but then again even the Kryptonites are at tisk under these conditions.The Ushakes seem pretty well put together, with a rugged lock mechanism. I also like that the fact that the combination wheels are fairly large and can be easily manipulated. The cable itself is fairly pliable so it makes it easy to maneuver around the bikes. It weighs slightly over a pound whereas the K's are almost 3+ lbs., this make a big difference on the bike. I was not able to use the plastic carrying clamp provided to attach to the bike but this is because I have a pannier mounted over the rear wheel so there just is not enough room. This is not a Ushake problem, so no stars lost there. I instead thread a couple of loops of the cable through the frame underpinning my saddle and lock the cable, which works great - it's out of the way and I'll never lose it.The folks at Ushake really understand customer service! I screwed up my initial setting of the combination and in a panic sent off an email, which they replied to within a couple of hours. I had figured out my issue so didn't need assistance at that point but it was good to know they were there if help is needed. Nice job, guys!

I purchased this 1.5 months ago. The lock seems sturdy, the combination very easy to set. The dial requires firm finger torque to turn, but I'm not counting off for that. While the lock seems to be pretty good quality, it seems as if the manufacturer used something akin to egg carton quality plastic to fabricate the mounting bracket. My bracket installed without problem, and I'm pretty sure I didn't overtighten the bolts, but one day I discovered the mount had slid down my center beam to the bottom. One bolt had ripped completely through the bracket, the other hole had a crack through the plastic to the edge. I sent a message to the seller today asking about a replacement.[UPDATE 2016/05/22] The seller asked for more pictures and to confirm my mailing address, presumably to send a replacement bracket. If I receive a replacement, I'll reinforce the bolts with large washers.[UPDATE 2016/06/21] The seller sent a replacement lock and bracket (so now I have two locks). I carefully mounted the new bracket on my seat post (before it was mounted on the frame tube in which the seat post was inserted) and faced the lock bracket rearward (before it was facing forward). I used a washer for each of the two screw heads, relying on the hex nut to act as a washer since it fits into a hex-shaped recessed hole. I slowly tightened each of the two screws til very snug, but (hopefully) not so much as to overly stress the plastic. So far, no noticeable deterioration/breakage, but time will tell. The lock is pretty heavy, which may have contributed to the breakage of the first bracket. Added 1 star.[UPDATE 2016/10/23] Around July the replacement bracket broke in similar fashion, around the screw mounting holes, despite the washers. I have resorted to keeping the cable lock in my bike saddle bag.

This is a really nice lock and cable at an attractive price. The 1/2 inch thick cable is a little more theft resistant to the average goon trying to cut it with a cable cutter. Most of the cable locks in this price range are only 3/8 inch thick or .40 inch thick. Yes, it could be cut if the thief were determined enough, but I think this one is solid enough that only a determined, veteran bike thief would succeed in cutting it. That small bit of extra protection thus gets rid of about 90 percent of the thieves out there. Most will look this lock, especially if it is securing a modestly prices bike, and just move on to easier prey. The 6 feet length is great, especially when, like me, you like to snake the cable through the front wheel, too, to keep a thief from swiping your quick release front wheel. It seems solidly built. The mount works fine and is easy to attach. Very happy with this item. It was easy to set the combination to my desired 4 digit code. Came with easy to follow instructions.
