(More customer reviews)I have only recently received this product and begun using it, but I am already quite pleased with my choice to go with the OnGuard PitBull.The construction is solid and I think this model is a perfect size (meaning large) for the many situations I can envision when my bike does not line up perfectly with a nearby bar or pole.I have also purchased the 4' long Akita cable from OnGuard and will use these two locks together most of the time.

My only complaint with the PitBull is the mounting clamp that comes with it.Compared to the high quality of the rest of the lock this piece feels cheap.It is made entirely of plastic instead of metal and the lock fails to slide in and out of it easily.I have not even attached it to my bike I can already imagine getting very mad at it every time I try to attach or remove it.I think I'll skip over this thing completely and just carry my PitBull around in my pannier or directly on my frame.It's too bad, because if not for this part the product would have received five stars.

Bottom line: if you want a lock which is and looks heavy duty then you won't go wrong with the PitBull from OnGuard.Combine it with a good quality cable like the Akita and you will be able to lock up your entire bike very securely.

Kryptonite Kryptoflex 1004 Looped Bicycle Security Cable

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Some people have issues with this cable being easily cut, which leads to their bike being stolen. I want to set the record straight about this product and proper locking methods. These cables are by no means meant to be your sole locking device, but rather, they are meant to be used in conjunction with (ideally) a U-Lock. I work in a bike shop and attend school at Michigan State, a virtual candy store for bike thieves, and as such proper locking is imperative. First off, buy yourself a good U-Lock. I would recommend going with the Kryptonite brand, as they are THE name in bike locks. I myself use what Kryptonite calls the "Fahgettaboudit" which is an 18mm-thick, vinyl-coated monster that would make New York's most proficient bike thieves shudder. THIS IS WHAT YOU USE TO LOCK YOUR BIKE TO THE STATIONARY OBJECT, not the cable. Put the U-Lock through the frame and through the stationary object. You then use a cable (I reccommend a seven or four-foot KryptoFlex, again, for the same reasons) to act as a secondary security device and, more importantly, SECURE YOUR REMOVABLE COMPONENTS (such as a quick-release wheel or seat). Before closing the U-Lock, put one end of the looped cable onto the U-Lock, then loop the cable through your wheel and seat supports. Put the other end of the looped cable onto the U-Lock, close the U-Lock, and walk away whistling, because your bike is now un-stealable. That is the proper application for these cables.

Okay, so now to actually review the cable. It's amazing. You cannot top Kryptonite's quality, and it is very useful. It is also just as resistant to cutting as any other cable you'll find. Top-notch durability

Now, there's no doubt that when people walk past your bike, with cables snaking through it like some kind of evil invasive weed, and a five-pound U-Lock hanging off the side, they'll be thinking "Man, this guy (or girl) is really obsessed with bike security." But, hey, isn't that the point?
