Mongoose Cable Combo Bicycle Lock (5-Feet),Black

The lock is great, considering the price. At less than $10.00 (when I bought it), it was a bargain. Of course, it's not the best lock in the world, but you will probably have to pay a much higher relative price for anything better. It's a lock and it works, that's what matters.In the end locks can be broken, no matter how good it is, someday someone will come around and be able to breat it somehow. I wasn't about to spend any more on locks for this reason. As long as I can reduce the ease of my bike being stolen by a small margin I am fine with it.This one is only 5' long and that's one of the reasons I like it as that makes it easier to carry when you aren't using it to lock your bike. It's also easy to use to set your combination and reset it if you need to. It's only for show though, I live in Brooklyn, out here people will steal your car while you go to the store for 2 minutes; a bike lock, no matter how expensive, is an easy job for thieves here.

Great product, would buy again. Easy to function hard to pick this lock. I usually can open these kind of locks but this one gives you false positives and the lock does not open unless you have the combination. It is great protection and strong. (UPDATE) I have now had it for about a year. The kids lock their bikes up at school and there bike was not stolen but the bike without a lock was. It is a good lock for the money. If you want solid steel this is not the product for you. It is designed to be light and easy to use. It is a solid Medium security lock.

I am very satisfied with the quality and value.

Works well to secure your bike. But. the number gears can often feel hung up or stuck.

Pros:- Nice price- Feels solid (although numbers are plastic)- Numbers are big and easy to see- Numbers turn easily- Easy to set your own comboCons:- The locking mechanism is a little bigger than some locks I've used before, but it works for usOverall, I'd recommend it!

I admit that I purchased this bike lock because it was so cheap. And in this case, you definitely get what you pay for. Before I even used it the first time, I already had an issue during the set up. For some reason, after I set my 4-digit pin, the first digit became disengaged and now just spins freely. What I mean is that no matter what number you have the first digit on, as long as the last three are right, then the lock will open. So I guess I have a 3-digit lock now lol. Other than that however, the construction of the lock seems to be pretty solid. The cable is not very thick but is still very strong. This lock will definitely not stop any thief motivated enough to steal your bike but it is a pretty good theft-deterrent (which is all I need for my bike rides to the gym) plus is small and light so I can just leave it attached to my bike at all times and its not in the way while I'm actually riding it. (Pretty) Good and Cheap!

I definitely not recommend this product! It might work out for someone else however for me it was the first and last time when I purchased a Mongoose Cable Lock. Next time I might go with a key lock...and pay more for a quality lock... :) Here's my story: I have purchased the Mongoose Cable Combo Bicycle Lock (5-Feet) two weeks ago because I wanted to secure my daughter's bicycle while we do some errands in grocery stores, pharmacy...etc. Luckily, I did not use it on her bike. After receiving the product I read the instructions and set a 4 digit code. It was very easy! I have tried several times the new code in order to make myself sure that it was working correctly without any malfunction. The primary tests at home went well several times and subsequently I wrote down my 4 digit code on the back of the product's packaging paper in case I would forget it. Yesterday, I decided to go to Upstate New York to hike on a mountain with my family. I needed some security lock to keep secure our stroller at a secluded area. Obviously, I did not want to carry the stroller to the top of the mountain. So I decided to take this Mongoose Lock. I locked the stroller and we left for hiking. When we returned I was so happy that the lock was still there with our stroller.The problem started when I wanted to unlock it. For some reason this lock did not want to open for me. It mysteriously changed the code by itself! I could not believe it! We were in a hurry to catch the last train back to NYC and this lock just did not want to open! I was mad as hell! At first I doubted my memory. Luckily, I secured the stroller with this junk to a strong looking wooden fence. In that heated moment I literally ripped apart the fence in minutes then I quickly left to catch the train. As soon as we got home I checked my note where I wrote down the code earlier and...it matched with the memorized 4 digit number! This lock simply changed the code by itself! I can't even return it because the Amazon would not refund me more than 50% of the product's price and I already threw out most of the packaging material. This lock has never seen dust, rain or hot sun! It was new -only 2 weeks old and it seriously failed me. Well, today evening I'm gonna have a little fun: I have to find a way to cut it off because it is still connected to the stroller! :)UPDATE:I could cut off this cable lock in 5 minutes with a simple hand saw blade. I thought this info might come handy for some unlucky people... :)

The diameter and length are perfect for a bike.Works great. I’ve purchased 3 so far.

Excelente producto, muy facil de utilizar y a un gran precio comparado con diferentes tiendas departamentales o de autoservicio. Llego muy rapido.

En general cumple su cometido, al tacto se siente resistente, las combinaciones son fáciles de cambiar, las instrucciones vienen en francés e ingles.

Es justo como muestra la foto no creo que sean super seguras pero para el precio esta muy bien es fácil de configurar buena compra

Es demasiado delgado, lo podrían cortar fácilmente con herramienta pero hace su trabajo.
