This lock will open with all but one of the four numbers of the combination set incorrectly.And if you pull (with your bare hands... it doesn't take much effort at all) the lock will pull apart even if you have none of the numbers in the combo correct.It's just that cheap.You might as well secure your bicycle with a piece of yarn.

Kryptonite Kryptoflex 1018 Combo Cable Bicycle Lock (180cm x 10mm) Review

First, let's be clear: like any cable lock, this is NOT meant to securely lock a bike.The product tag says it well: "perfect for accessory lock-up or use as a secondary deterrent".This is designed to lock things like your helmet to your already-U-locked bike, or to lock your wheels/bike to the wall inside your also-locked garage at home.
As such, I give it 4.5 stars, especially on sale.The cable, although fairly thick, is flexible and robustly coated so it doesn't scratch/rust; the resettable combo lock is nicely streamlined into the cable, and it's straightforward to change the combo with the lock open.
My single 1/2-star quibble is that this model doesn't come with a tube mounting bracket, as do the higher-end Kryptonite cable locks.

Kryptonite Kryptoflex 525 Looped Bicycle Secuirty Cable (5mm x 2.5) Review

I got sick of wondering if my bike seat would be there when I finish work.Now, I can lock it up every day.My 7 foot Kryptonite cable easily slips through the loop on the small cable and still locks the rest of the bike.

The diagram with the cable gives a suggestion on how to attach it to the seat.I leave that cable attached on the seat, with a cable-tie (or zip-tie, one of those things they use in electrical work) to hold it a bit more securely to the pole that the seat sits atop.

You can also use a separate lock to lock the cable to the bike.

The length of the cable seems good for its purpose.

Kryptonite Kryptoflex 1007 Bicycle Security Cable (10mm x 7-Foot) Review

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?
