Review on πŸ”’ Etronic Bike Lock M6 - Reliable 6ft Coiled Combo Cable Lock with Mounting Bracket by Mike Meyers

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Very happy with the lock. The mount is a waste of time.

Nice and easy to use lock. I would give it 5 stars but was dying to keep it on the bike without having to stow it in a pannier. I only have a small bag for the necessary tools (BV Bicycle Strap-On Saddle Bag / Seat Bag). So having a useless mount makes a big difference to me. Maybe not for you. so .Very easy to use combination balls. The numbers are easy to see, nice and round The frame mount is a joke. Don't even bother - IMHO. The mount is all plastic, including the hardware cutouts, so tighten it to the frame and blow right through the not-so-toughened plastic. I tried to assemble it on my own gear - it worked for a while but the plastic fell apart. It only fits standard round frame poles and not very large ones. (I've got a lot of experience with mechanics and parts so it's not like I'm clueless at stuff like this.) Shame as the lock/quick release button is a very nice feature. I just wrapped it around my forearm and wrist with the pre-wound coil easy to put on and take off. It's possible to do the same thing with wrapping the seat tube, but the coil is tight and can pose a small problem.
