Review: Flexible, with a great length for multiple bikes - I bought a Kryptonite cable that is similar to this and really like the flexibility of the braided cable over the standard twisted cable, but it was too short for my purposes and Kryptonite didn't make a longer cable for a reasonable price (that I could find). I was a little cautious about this cable's flexibility based on a few of the reviews, but that was short lived once I received it. This cable is quite flexible (equal to the expensive Kryptonite) and very well protected with a vinyl coated cable and plastic coated crimps so that no metal is exposed to possibly damage an expensive item. I load two-three bikes on my hitch rack or in the bed of my truck and this cable easily interweaves through all of the frames and wheels for a positive securing with a quality padlock to a somewhat-secure, bolted-on connector on my truck. Like all good cables, this only provides deterrent-level security since it can be cut with the proper tools; however, that is all I need. If you want to secure your bike to a rack outside and go to work or school inside, this is not sufficient on it's own, but works well in conjunction with a u-lock (for the frame) and an immovable rack. Review: Master long cable is a beast for locking gear into your vehicle, room to wrap - Master gear is always very good, the weather takes out all of my locks but the cables are well sealed , recommend to grease or lubricate any locks left outside because they do get badly stuck, cable though is a long sturdy companion for locking it all ## Features - CABLE APPLICATION: For indoor and outdoor use; Cable is best used to secure bicycles, grills, gates, and fences; Recommend for use with a Master Lock laminated or solid steel padlock - EASE OF USE: Ideal for securing large or bulky items; Self-coils for easy storage - DURABLE DESIGN: Braided steel cable offers strength and flexibility; protective vinyl coating helps to prevent scratches - SPECIFICATIONS: 4 ft. cable length; 3/8 in. outside diameter - INCLUDES: One 4 ft. steel cable; Lock sold seperately ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000BDB4NS | | Batteries Included? | No | | Batteries Required? | No | | Best Sellers Rank | #55,643 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #27 in Cable & Chain Locks | | Brand | Master Lock | | Color | Black | | Control Method | App | | Controller Type | Hand Control | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (2,762) | | Date First Available | January 1, 2008 | | Finish | Laminated | | Finish Type | Laminated | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00071649005312 | | Included Components | Master Lock Cable, Steel Cable With Looped Ends, 4 ft.

I was a little cautious about this cable's flexibility based on a few of the reviews, but that was short lived once I received it.

It's for locking your bike up when you want to go to a store, or the bathroom... It's better than nothing ... that's for sure... For me, I don't think I could carry enough locks in my bag, to feel 100% comfortable... So I put my bike on my insurance policy. Peace of mind. Personally, I use mine when camping at the campgrounds in a state or federal park, I loop it around/underneath one of the tires... then snake it through the frame and lock up the seat as well. It's just peace of mind. 9 times out of ten no one is walking around with bolt cutters to take your bike in a campground. Pros, seems heavy duty, cables has a nice thick rubber so it won't scratch your bike or rust, loops are wide enough for the ends to pass through it. it's 15 feet... relatively cheap and easy to carry... long enough to lockup both tires, seat and whatever to a non removable object tree, etc...etc... with room to spare! Cons, not secure as a U-Lock, kinda heavy... Is it better than a U-Lock? Absolutely not! However, you really need to think about where you CAN use a U-Bolt type lock. If there are no bike racks a U-bolt is useless. You have to access your risks. How sketchy is the area you are locking your bike up... How long will you be locking your bike up. If you are "EVERYDAY" biker that has a routine, like a job ... Where everyday Mon-Fri, you always lock your bike up for 8 hours a day... Or go shopping for hours... or parking it overnight in a public garage ....Then YES! Get a U-BOLT Lock! As for me, I travel to different areas and don't have a routine ... nore do I leave my bike (unattended) for hours. So, I think this lock is good enough for me! ANY lock can be cut, It's just making a bike thief try a little harder..and let's face it... if a thief wants your bike he/she is going to get it! I hate to say it. If your bike is worth more than 2500 bucks, consider getting theft insurance. I lock mine up with an all weather A-bus 701B lock. Get a decent lock, the last thing you want is a lock that freezes up and you got to leave your bike to find a way to cut though your own lock! Buy lock lubricants and clean them often to keep them working good. Get a weather lock especially if your bike doesn't have fenders! Also, consider not getting a huge heavy lock so you can lock it up to an easy to cut cable. So, pretty much any lock will work... as a thief won't will go after the weakest link. Buying a 80 dollar lock for a cable lock isn't going to make it more secure. ## Frequently Bought Together - Master Lock Cable, Steel Cable With Looped Ends, 4 ft.
