Pros: Durable, Great Value, High Quality, Good Fit
"This is a great lock - strong, and large enough to lock my bike anywhere (so far) - sometimes I can even get it through the front wheel as well as the bar. It's light and small, I don't notice it at all when I'm cycling.
Also, I disagree with another review that said the mechanism to attach the lock to the bike when you're cycling is flimsy. I find it very secure and stable, and it sits nicely against my bike frame and out of the way. Also I think this lock is very good value for money for the level of security it provides.
I'd definitely recommend this lock."

Abus Varedo 47 23cm Bike D Lock
Pros: Durable, High Quality, Versatile
"Pros
This is a high quality, robust D-lock
It has a high security rating for its price, relative to other products
The frame mounting bracket is very secure with options for every part of the bike. The lock as a result does not shake or rattle
Cons
The lock mechanism can be a little fiddly - involving key "wiggle" to lock and unlock. This appears to be as a result of the anti-pick and anti-drill features.
23cm is the smaller of the common sizes and is suitable for most situations, especially if used with a high quality cable (for locking wheels and suspension) e.g. Kryptonite KryptoFlex 4 Foot Cable Bike Lock."

High quality, great brand
Pros: Durable, High Quality
"Didn't look anyfurther than an ABUS lock, it was essentially a trade of between security rating and cost.
This is long enough to go through the back wheel/frame and post, however if your locking your bike to a large post then i'd suggest one which is slightly longer.
I'd always recomend someone gets a good quality D-lock, you can't go far wrong with this and it should put off the theives for a while.

Very trustworthy
Pros: Durable, Great Value, Attractive, High Quality, Good Fit
"Nothing is going to get through this lock! It's easy to use, strong, and attractive. My only beef is that it's a little heavy to carry on a sleek road bike, but I guess that's always going to be the case for the quality of the lock."

Varedo
Pros: Durable, High Quality, Rugged
"Really solid feel to this lock, love the way it mounts to the carrier when not in use. Makes it easy to use and feels very secure while riding
There is a need to check the size of the space inside the frame, it just fits my Felt Q920 frame.

Great standard lock
Pros: High Quality, Rugged
"This lock is built prettily sturdily and is suitable for everyday use. The lock locks into the holder on the bike so it can't fall off or be taken off without the key which is a good idea! The size is ideal and can accommodate your back wheel and helmet around a post easily. The weight seems ok for everyday riding / commuting etc."
