Review on πŸ”’ Optimized Bike Lock Cable: Master Lock 8143D with Combination by Kaveen Reyes

Revainrating 2 out of 5

No No No No No in Cycling

This lock has always been "sticky" and stuck all the time. Not the kind of situation you want to find yourself in on a cold night trying to unlock your bike in a sketchy hood to get home. I always wondered if it was me or if I accidentally reset it but then got unlocked at the last minute! After at least 10-15 minutes. In the end it didn't happen after two people tried and I had to cut the cable cleanly with my dremel (plastic cutting wheel and metal cutting wheel) which I happen to have laying around. Every time it hit me, it was always the wrong time for it. Also, I struggle physically with an overpowered cable that never relaxes, always chokes my bike and stresses me out. This is truly a 5 star rating for a Dremel!

Pros
  • Absolutely Amazing!
Cons
  • Mostly ok, but...
