Kryptonite KryptoFlex Bike 🔒 Security Cable with Looping Feature Review

The cable is just long enough for me to run through the frame, rear wheel and gearbox to the front wheel. Good for blocking a cheap commuter bike in a low crime area. I wouldn't use this on a more expensive car or in a higher crime area like a big city. I would use some high security U-locks when cycling in places like Oakland, California or New York. However, I don't see why you would want to drive something worth stealing to drive around town. Seriously, buy a bike at Walmart. These Trek…

I bought this cable and accompanying NYC Kryptonite lock to secure my bike. One of their great advantages is that they have anti-theft insurance which you can purchase from them for an additional fee. I bought it. Unfortunately the bike was stolen a few years later and I filed a lawsuit. Not only did it take them over 2 months to process the half page claim form, they also denied the claim because the thief left no evidence (broken lock). What kind of thief leaves behind evidence on purpose…

As many other reviewers have said, this is enough to deter petty thieves. This is enough to go through the rear wheel, seat, frame and front wheel, and also to grab a small safe point like a fence post, bike rack, etc. If you're going to do all that and grab a log, you'll need an extra cable or chain. Eyelets can be inserted into the shackle of a standard padlock. I put both ends into one of those regular combination locks you use on lockers. No, their protection is not heavy-duty, but the…

I only bought this item to protect my saddle and seat post from theft. One Friday afternoon I came back from an examination at the clinic and found my entire rear wheel STOLE! Luckily the thief didn't steal my saddle and seatpost. Lesson learned. So I bought another rear wheel complete with tube and tire PLUS a full rim which cost me another $35 which is a bargain and it was taken off a customer's abandoned bike and traded for parts and another u-shaped kryptonite lock used to protect this new…

DON'T USE YOUR BIKE AS A PRIMARY CLOSE! Now that we've removed that disclaimer, let's proceed with the review. I use this to attach front wheel, rear wheel and bike seat to a bike U-lock (Abus Mini140). I use the same setup on my wife's bike. This should be the only use of a nylon coated cable to secure your bike, regardless of brand. PROS: + Good length that gives flexibility and allows me to easily attach the front wheel, rear wheel and bike seat to my U-lock. We also use it to connect to our

I have a heavy U-lock (Abus Granit Plus 640) that secures my bike frame and rear wheel to the bike rack. I also have a quick release seat. I run this KryptoFlex 525 cable through one of the posts on the bottom of the seat, then thread one loop through the other loop and then loop through to the U-lock. This cable is also narrow enough to fit through my helmet so I don't have to carry it around. A second short but heavier cable is used in the same way to attach the quick release front wheel to…

On a 60cm bike with a very high seat post, this length is long enough to mount the Vector saddle, rear wheel and pedal (left side only). I lock my bike with an Abus Bordo X-Plus (similar to a U-lock, but the U is made up of flexible segments, not a rigid U). I installed a lock around the front wheel and frame, and this short cable is just enough to restrain the bike's components somewhat. Apart from the brake and shift cables, I have no anti-theft protection in the driver's cab. As it stands…
