If there is a cable loop near it, the blanket will fit. I found this to be an amazing product, since it opens enough to fit around a frame and tire without a problem.
Neither cable nor internet is available. An object can be secured with the lock by unfolding it and wrapping it around it. This bike lock is not as long as a cable, but it is better than the U-shaped bikes A major advantage is the convenience of storing it on the bike rather than the car
This type of lock is much strong than a cable lock, which can be cut through with a wire cutter in an instant. It can, however, be taken down by a determined thief, armed with a big bolt cutter or hack saw, in just a few minutes. It would only be appropriate in areas where people walk a lot.
The circumference of the lock is 24"/24inches when it is secured

The location should be good for mounting. It's best to mount the rear view mirror on the seat tube of a road bike. In addition, I do not want to sacrifice the saddle bag on the seat tube or the bottle cage holder (I usually need two bottles on long rides). In addition to being strong, the clamp does not leave any scratches on If you use zip ties, don't worry about the lock sliding around as it scratched the paint of the bike because the lock is heavy. It is a good compromise between security and convenience It is not as hard to cut through the metal of the folding lock as a good chain, but it will require at least a 2-inch blade There is no hiding place for the thieves in a populated area if they have a bolt cutter that is five feet long. Don't use cord locks because an 8-inch length of cord can damage it It can be cut in one second with an inch cable cutter. This is a short piece of text If it were a bit longer, I would enjoy it more. My bike is nearly 25" long, so it can be tied to most bike racks, but it cannot be tied around trees or posts more than 6" high. Two bicycles can only be tied together by the tires, but not the
Our products are convenient A chain that I have to carry around is not convenient. I feel that it rattles and bangs on my frame and is exactly 3 times heavier than my old one. There is one pound and two ounces of weight in the folding lock. It is not uncommon for people to spend hundreds of dollars more to have a bike that is.
The links rattled a bit when I put them on the bike, but I fixed this by wrapping a piece of black electrical tape around provides enough thickness to anchor the lock securely into the mounting bracket and prevent it from shaking. Although it's lightweight, it's quite secure even though it's foldable, much more so than a U lock thanks to its foldability.
As far as I can tell, it's a great lock. Once you play with it for a long time, you will realize how well-designed it is. The joints articulate smoothly, but the appearance is impressive. Because they haven't given me a weakness yet, I hope I never find out what they're weak at.

The customer service is excellent and very responsive. They responded incredibly fast to my broken component when it broke and were eager to resolve it with ease. Recommend it without reservation.
There are too many similarities between this and the real thing. Rivets are at the heart of the problem. Despite being so weak, they continue to exist. The feel loose and can bend with a small amount of torque. It looks fine as a visual deterrent for keeping your bike outside. You'll be able to sit outside and have a cup of coffee with it held. However, any thief with a pair of pliers could easily break it if they wanted to.
A lock this small isn't useful for securing the fork and frame of a full suspension bicycle, which needs to be locked.
It damaged the frame of my bike. Using the provided screws, attach the lock holder and tighten the screws, while tightening it the lock holder bent very slightly and began to scrape the paint off the bike unscrewing the holder scraped even more paint off the bike. The item was attached to a 24" boys bike, so if you own a bike that is 24" or larger, be prepared to have your bike damaged too. Here is a photo showing how damaged the frame has become, and how much work it will take to repair it. The example is (Sanding the bike on both sides until it's feathered very fine, taping off the areas that aren't to be touched, spray painting the affected area, sanding, and applying a clearcoat It's important to repaint the damaged areas to prevent rusting from occurring. As I was attaching the lock holder, I did not expect this to happen! This is a serious design flaw, and Amazon should remove this product from its consumer offerings so that nothing like it can ever happen again.
My husband seems to think it's a bit flimsy for a bike lock, but we will see how far it holds up. Then I will know not to buy this kind again in case someone breaks it. It was a bit confusing to attach the bike bracket to the bike, as there were no instructions, so we tinkered with it until something clicked and snapped into place. I should mention that, as of Nov. 30th, 2018, there is an update. There is no rust with this product. Locking and unlocking can be frustrating because the key remains attached until the lock / unlock is completed.
