Review on OnGuard Pitbull U Lock Black 9 06 Inch by Carl Durant

Revainrating 5 out of 5

COUNTING 5 YEARS, my FUJI 3.0 wasn't STOLEN with ONGUARD U LOCK!

So far I am using OnGuard U Lock and PINHEAD WHEEL Locks on my FUJI 3.0 in MANHATTAN. I prefer this to a 3 foot chain and LOCK where I had 5 BICYCLES stolen fitted with child seats. I've done extensive research on what the lock is capable of, and OnGuard has even tested it in Manhattan and Brooklyn, parking $500 bikes outside overnight. The castle has held up very well. I don't recommend leaving a bike in NYC overnight unless it's $75. Bikes over $600 will not park. Get a spare bike for trips to the store. Another way to protect the bike from thieves is to remove the seat when parking. A bike without a seat is harder to sell quickly. Another tip: Be sure to install a lock on your bike and don't leave it hanging on the handlebars. Unfortunately, when the jerk ran between 2 cars on the bike path, I ran over the bike, the ULOCK hit my ribs from sitting on the handlebars and I broke a bone in my elbow - very painful. Most of the time I bike around Manhattan on business. Always check that the supports are firmly in the ground before locking them. OnGuard Pitbull STD U-Lock, Black, 4.53" x 9.06"
