sorted bynot really, kryptonite will refund the value of your bike if it gets stole whilst locked up using their D-locks. Only way to get though a decent D lock is by cutting it
The whole point of using 2 locks or a better lock is that the thieves think stuff it I'll just nick this other bike next to it locked up with gift box string rather than cut through this decent lock.
Agree.
Got one today (was the last one) at my local Halfords.:)
Don't understand why everyones complaining.The cable is twice the thickness of the one I got from TKMaxx so I'm happy.:)
Yes there are more secure locks and yes there are D-locks (which I have also).
But these all are more heavy and D-locks are large,whereas with this lock I can just roll it up and put in my pocket.
Is handy if you're just going down to the local shops (on an old non-suspension mtb) and don't want to bring a big heavy lock with you.
"It's free, it must be a good deal" lol
Yes I am going to complain about a free lock! Not having a **** lock is better than having a **** lock - at least someone won't be lulled into a false sense of security. And rather than people think they are getting something that designed to stop a thief making away with their beloved bike, I'd rather they knew how useless this is. Seriously, pliers would get through this lock. DON'T BOTHER WITH IT - DESPITE IT BEING FREE!!!
If you have an old unattractive banger of a bike, then this might be an option. If you have a bike of any worth, or, you are in a high risk area then please be aware of how easy it is for thieves to get through this. Pliers will cut it open.
No one expects a bike lock to be theft proof. I just expect a lock to take longer than 5 seconds to cut off with a pair of Poundland pliers
Got one of these today priced at £4.99.
Not the best lock but for free this is HOT.
Nothing is unbreakable in that sense.
It's Free!!! Seriously, you're gonna complain about a FREE lunch (lock)!? oO

Motor bike locks don't stand a chance never mind light cycle locks

Yeah I would say fair comment and better than nothing
Shops should be ashamed of selling these. Halfords know they are rubbish which is why they can afford to give them away.
Unfortunately cable locks don't stop thieves. All the bikes getting stolen in my area are nearly always "secured" with cable locks. Once you strip off the plastic you are left with a much thinner stranded metal cable. You can use normal pliers to just snip through the strands. Cheap cable locks will often only take a few snips. If the thief has a cable cutting tool from B&Q it will be off faster than a piece of string.
They coat cable locks in chunky plastic to make them look much tougher than they actually are.
That being so a good deal, even for bike snobs who wear all the logoed gear but havenae "forked" out on a copy of the highway code.
Tron got his bike nicked?
