Review on 🚲 Bike U Lock: Heavy Duty U-Shackle with Strong Cable and Mounting Bracket - Ideal for Road, Mountain, Electric, and Folding Bikes by Bobby Montoya

Revainrating 3 out of 5

*U-lock rod and shackle wobble* Check dimensions but otherwise strong U-lock and cord

* *Received this and was impressed with the strength of the U-lock. You could feel the weight on the 18mm frame and it would probably be hard to break if someone tried to cut it off. The first issue was the size of the loop as it wasn't big enough to wrap around the main frame, the wheel. , and a bike rack/carrier for my particular bike. I had to settle for just attaching the rear wheel and frame instead of attaching it to my chosen item with a cable. The cable was flexible enough, but 120cm wasn't enough to wrap both wheels of the bike. Not necessarily, but it allowed me to wrap it around different parts of the frame and attach it to bike racks and bars when needed to compensate for the smaller U-lock. However, it is significantly thinner and would be easier to cut off. The mounting jig (unstretched hole is 3.5cm) was too small to wrap around the top or down tube, too wide for the seat tube, but most secure at the bottom. seats. Worked very well for several days, held the U-lock in place and was perfectly balanced. the bottom of the crossbar. It still works, closes and opens normally, but when closed the crossbar dangles outwards. Still functional, albeit wobbly. I doubt that with reasonable effort this state would be difficult to deal with if one were a devotee and effectively nullify it completely, but it still seems solid. However, this is definitely a problem. Awaiting a refund before I update my review **Slightly disappointed as this was the only convenient place to put it on the bike. The upside of the small size is that it fits nicely in my backpack, which I was trying to avoid due to the dirt and grime, but it will work. I'm happy with the 18mm thickness of the padlock and that will act as a deterrent. Especially considering the price range I am very satisfied with the quality of this article. Firmly.
