Wrong item received (11-3/4 " instead of 9 ")

This appears to be a quality product. There were two in my order. Unfortunately I received 11-3/4" (x 4-1/4") inner padlocks instead of the 9" (x 4-1/4") inner padlocks listed on the product. Designation. The locks were too long for me. I had to send them back. I would like Revain to be more diligent about accurately describing products to minimize the need to return misdescribed products.

Pros
  • Handsfree operation
Cons
  • No automatic

High security, low weight.

Among the U letter locks this one has the highest gold rating. Only the Kryptonite NY series performed "slightly better" in tests. but this lock weighs a lot less and looks better (no bright orange or yellow) than kryptonite. This lock is expensive but worth it if you want to deter theft. Depending on the configuration of your bike and the type of rack you want to lock it to, using a U-lock can be difficult. Don't forget to secure the tires with the extra cable. Also, don't forget to register…

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Periodicity

Very well made to the touch

This U-lock looks very well made and is lighter than expected. It goes through my rear wheel, my frame and the typical fat bike rack. There will be no standard version. The key works perfectly. The lock comes with a bracket to attach it to the frame while riding. I use it and it works great, doesn't move or slide even when I'm jumping curbs or driving cross country. I love this lock and am now comfortable riding my very expensive bike to the grocery store and locking it from the outside while I

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Good but not great

Great lock based on first impressions and quality

This is a great lock, in the larger version it's a bit difficult to find the perfect spot for your bike to lock it when trading yours legs away, but I found that hanging the lock from above at an angle worked well for me so I can still undo the lock fairly easily. Ignore the person who gave the lock 3 stars for the bike mount, it was designed that way because the mount screws into the lock mount (two long lines on the actual lock mount). All in all a great castle.

Pros
  • Fits me great
Cons
  • Some issues

In most cases, the heavier the lock, the more secure it is.

This Abus lock claims to be one of the most secure but is a nice weight. That means I'll probably wear and use it conscientiously. The kit comes with a nice attachment option that fits my bike well. The Abus 540 lock seems to be very well made. Finally, I would like to say that in addition to my Abus Granit X-Plus 540 U-lock, I use redundant security measures to secure other venerable parts of my bike. I also try to be aware of where, when and how long I park my bike. The sad reality is that…

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • I'll write later

Best U-lock: Accessory

I've only had experience with cheap U-locks on an old bike. I now have a more expensive (better?) bike that needs protection if left unattended on errands. Haven't tried other good quality U-locks but this one seems secure and the key travel is very smooth. I read too many reviews about kryptonite lock blocking and decided to get something better. This lock is lighter than a comparable high security kryptonite lock, but feels heavy. The weight on the specs is one thing, but the reality is…

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Reliability

Great lock - misleading/bulky advertised selling point

The lock itself is secure but don't believe me as there are tons of reviews online that have done many tests showing it's in place with Kryptonite Fahgettabudit. Plus, the large frame mount it comes with. Now the reason for Star Docking - and that goes for any Abus lock that advertises getting matching keys to your locks. First, locks that advertise that they can be matched with other locks do not make it clear that there are two different key levels and they cannot be matched with each other…

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Clarity
