BosvisionUltra-Secure 4-digit Combination Lock with 90cm Retractable Cable for Bike, Ski, Snowboard and Stroller

Handy little deterrent but won’t save you from a half determined thief with pliers or a hammer, largely due to the plastic body. Good length on the wire, extremely easy to set a new code and operate in seconds. Ideal for securing something in plain sight from an opportunist swiping something.

Great for skis, a good length of cable, heavy-ish, but feels solid and made well.

It works fine - easy to use.No substitute for a good quality U-lock, but ok for short stops when your bike remains in sight.If someone is determined to take your bike, this won't prevent them from doing so - but it might delay them long enough that you can stop them yourself.

The device was lighter than I thought and it took me a long time to figure out how to use it. That’s mainly down to me being cack handed and I initially impressed something prematurely and the code didn’t set but fortunately we were able to back track and figure it out.I’ve now worked it all out and it does do the job but, as I said, it feels a little light weight and flimsy.It arrived promptly though. I’ll give it the benefit of the doubt…it does fit around three bikes comfortably

Reassuring (and for the price of a few coffees!) to lock your bike at coffee stops - vs others that dont. Where I often ride and stop after is a busy London park cafe; quite a few nice bikes have vanished from here over the years just being picked up and ridden away while owners chatter.Lite to carry, I dont even notice it.The lock itself is easy enough to use - just DONT FORGET the combination number you set! There are few buttons - to recoil the cable, to unlock, and another...just press away until your thing happens!Once unlocked and cable undone/retracted, you can turn the combo dials back to random numbers, and still lock again by pushing the shackle end in when you next stop (so your combo number can remain out of sight, until the next unlocking).The cable on this is long enough, a shorter on would provide a similar function for the purpose (not trying to capture wheels etc) but good to have the option in case locking around larger objects or a few bikes together.Yes pliers would chop the cable, but this is only designed to prevent opportunistic chancers walking off with stuff - I find highly reassuring, rather than constantly glancing up/over shoulder etc.

Easy to set up, fits in jersey pockets nicely

I bought this cable lock for when I ride and stop for a coffee so I don't leave the bike unatended . It is light enough to carry in my cycling jersey in the back pocket and it is easy to use. The cable locks easyly and the numbers in the combination are easy to operate even with gloves and easy to see as well. The pricing is good and it was delivered on time and safely. I am happy with the purchase but be aware, this is not a long term safery device, it is only good to stop someone getting on the bike and riding away with it. If you leave it unattended for too long it is not going to stop someone from stealing your bike as I guess the cable can be snapped with not much effort if the right tool is used.

I wanted this to secure my skis during coffee and lunchbreaks on the mountain. yes the cable could be cut by someone prepared with wire cutters but it would be difficult to prevent that with anything lightweight and not too bulky. This easil fits on a pocket and being orange helps to identify where I left my skis.
