Review on ๐Ÿ”’ Black ONGUARD Bulldog Mini U-Lock: 3.55 x 5.52-Inch by Tutan Beatz

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Still great but Onguard redesigned

The locking mechanism on my 15 year old Onguard Bulldog Mini had completely frozen so I had to replace it. I still love this lock and for the price it's not a problem at all, but Onguard has changed the design significantly in the meantime and I'm not sure if that's for the better; This one feels lighter and the barrel end caps don't feel as secure as they used to. I live in San Francisco, where bike theft is worse than any other city with the possible exception of New York, and my old Onguard made me feel safe no matter what. In fact, someone once stole one of my bikes by cutting the wheel itself instead of the lock (I use this rear triangle locking method sometimes). But I think I'll only use this lock for shorter day locks; For messier locks, I go back to my old, stronger brand that starts with a "K".

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Easily repairable
