'EXTREMELY GOOD LOCK, BUT YOU PAY THE PRICE'
Strengths:
Bright yellow base makes it clearly visable and acts as a deterrent.Sliding cover to hide the lock & protect it from the elements. £1000 theft guarantee.Had it for 6 months in all kinds of weather and left in places where there is a high theft rate. The lock is still in 1 piece and still going strong.
Weaknesses:
Size makes it slightly difficult to attatch to bike-I ended up carrying mine in my bag. Small size can make it difficult to lock it in some places but for an extra £10 you can get some extention cables, which in conjunction with the lock, means you can lock your bike almost anywhere.
Overall:
If you believe the adverts, this lock was left on a bike in the middle of new york for 3 days & after that time, bike and lock were still there. Lock feels re-assuringly solid which gives you confidence in it's ability to protect against theft. If used in conjunction with the extention cables, the small size of the lock doesn't matter & you can normally lock both wheels and rest of bike securely with the cables as well.Best lock I have come across. Slightly pricey but you get what you pay for and if you have a bike worth over a few hundred, the price doesn't matter as much when you consider the protection it gives. It is also one of the few locks that makes the bike insurers list, where you have to have a certain lokc for the insurance to be valid. Expensive lock but well worth it.
