Thieves are lazy opportunist. If your expensive bike is locked for more than two hours in public. No matter what lock you have consider it gone!
My lock seized on me while my bike was locked at lonsdale near the Quay. I borrowed a hack saw and for about ten minutes I laboured to cut through the cable lock with dozens of people walking past. No one cared.
This lock is portable and relatively light. Less bulky than my cable lock. It's perfect for those after ride coffee shop moments. Even if you can see your bike a lock is a good deterrent to stop a brazen thief.
There are some great payback videos on you tube of guys setting up bait bikes tied to fishing line. Hilarious watching thieves go over the bars.
I believe there is a similar yet more expensive version of this lock made from Titanium.
Bonus for long cable locks: put the cable through the fork crown. Forks can be stolen very quickly!
If your bike is locked the lazy thieves will search for easier prey.
