Compact lock best of both worlds
Pros: Great Value, Attractive, High Quality, Rugged
"Needed something that wasn't huge and heavy but meant I could ride to the beach and go for a coffee without worrying - this lock ticks all the boxes. It's not the lightest, but otherwise it wouldn't give you peace of mind. I like the option to take the cable or not take the cable - at least then I have the options to lock up the wheels etc.
The only downside is that the device that attaches to the bike to clip the lock into is a little bulky and so has to be mounted very carefully on my frame as it only just fits the lock plus water bottle."

Good lock, pity about the short cable
Pros: Durable, Rugged
Cons: short cable
"Lock is great. A bit heavy if you want to carry it with you all the time, but mine stays in a locker at work, so I'm happy.
The supplied cable with this combo is pretty short. Be prepared to get a longer cable."

Impresionante candado
Pros: Duradero, buen precio, Atractivo, Cómodo, Resistente, Alta calidad, Regulable, Versátil, Buen ajuste
Cons: pesado
"Hasta el momento había tenido candados aceptables, fuertes, medianamente seguros, pero baratos; compré el kryptonite y la verdad, no sé por que me gasté el dinero antes en otros candados. El Kryptonite es el mejor candado que he utilizado nunca, seguro, versátil e impresionante, su apariencia tecnológica es tremenda y seguro que muy útil. Por cierto, es más caro que los malos, pero sin embargo, bastante económico ;-)"

Sold Secure without too much weight
Pros: Rugged, Lightweight, Good Fit
Cons: Unadjustable, may be too small
"Very pleased with this lock, the first time I've bought a D lock for many years. After my cycle insurance forced me to get a Sold Secure Silver lock (which this is), I looked at smaller and lighter locks which I could carry on the frame without too much weight penalty, so I can carry when commuting or touring.
This comes with a bracket to mount inside the frame, and is not so big that it stops you carrying a water bottle at the same time (though you can't carry 2 bottles and the lock at the same time, and I needed some juggling to fit my pump, bottle and lock on my road bike).
The relatively short length and width of the lock does mean I can't always fit both the rear wheel and the frame around a fixed object, but there is a steel cable included to deter wheel theft. And it much easier to carry about than my Abus Steel-o-Flex (which is sooo heavy and doesn't fit on the frame, so I have to wear it as a belt!).
The lock looks fairly tough, although the bolt only engages at one side, though I hope it won't be put to the ultimate test anytime soon. It also comes with 3 keys and apparently you can get more locks ordered to fit the same key, if you have several bikes. I haven't tried this though."

works well
Pros: High Quality, Adjustable, Lightweight
"With a little imagination the cable is plenty long enough. The overall package is compact enough to carry around easily. 3 keys. I'm not sure I'd use a 'stronger' lock"

持ち運び不可
Pros: 耐久性, 良いバリュー, 丈夫さ
Cons: かさばり, 重量
"頑丈そうで、付属のケーブルで汎用性が高かそうだったので、購入しました。
リュックに入れて持ち運んで、出先で利用できるようにと、ミニにしたのですが、実際に届いてみると、思っていた以上に重く、常に持ち運ぶのは無理そうです。
車に積んで出かけた先で、外で留めるとかでしょうか。
重さを気にしない、重さが気にならないシチュエーションでの利用なら、相当頑丈そうですので、良い品だと思います。"

セットで安心
Pros: 耐久性, 魅力的, 丈夫さ, 高品質, 見た目の良さ
Cons: 高価格, かさばり, 重い
"U字ロックにワーヤーがセットになっているので停める場所を選びません。
更に前後のホイールを一緒にロック出来て便利です。
頑丈な作りで安心感があり、デザインも知人から褒められる事が多く全体的に満足しています。
但し日本で普及しているアルミのものに比べると大振りでかなり重たいのが難点。
自分はいつも使っているバックパックのポケットがジャストサイズなので余り気にしませんが。
あと、ヘビー過ぎるためフレームにキズを付けそうなのがちょっと心配かな。"

Cons: 順応性のなさ, かさばり, フィット感の悪さ
"自宅の駐輪所用に購入。
頑丈さと重さとのバランスで想定通りGOODでした。持ち運びは実用的じゃないです。

しっかりとした作りで安心。
ただ、キレイにロックがハマっていないとシリンダーが回らないことがあり、こういう時はやり直さないと絶対に回らない。
たまにイラっとくるのでマイナス１つ。"

Does the job
Pros: Attractive, Lightweight, Good Fit
Cons: less secure
"I bought this as a secondary lock to go with my Fahgeddaboutit, wanted something that wasn't quite as heavy for my low-risk cycle parking area.
Unlike the aforementioned lock, it only secures on one side but the non-secured side is curved so while it doesn't have a lock mechanism it's better then a straight-in type of fitment.
Seems sturdy enough, the cable is a nice plus but I ended up buying a 7 foot one so it can go through both wheels and around the sheffield stand."

Epic Lock
Pros: Great Value, High Quality, Rugged
Cons: Bulky
"I was looking for an epic lock to keep my new oppy c-series safe, even in some of the lower socio-economic areas of Perth, and at uni. My bike is still with me so I guess it's been somewhat effective. I was aware of the New York lock, however this one seemed to be nearly as good, smaller, and much easier on the wallet. Plus, bike thieves don't appear to be as determined here. Only downside is using the Sheldon Brown method, I have to put the U around the frame and the back wheel to lock it up (instead of just the back wheel), due to the way the frame is. The attachment won't fit on a carbon frame either. It may also be a stretch for someone with a larger bike to use the cable to lock the front wheel to the rest of the lock. It is heavy, but this is not a problem for training/commuting (just makes you fitter), and who would be carrying it on race day?"

A quality lock
Pros: Durable, Great Value, Rugged, High Quality
Cons: Limited Color Choices
"This is a very convenient size, the smallest can be impracticable, the larger size too heavy and bulky, this lock is just big enough to fit around a street sign, frame and wheel, while being small enough to fit in a back pocket while riding."

Perfect size
Pros: Durable, Great Value, Attractive, High Quality, Lightweight
"I found this lock to be a really good size to carry around. It weighs about a kilo and the cable that comes with it works a charm for locking your wheels in as well. It's really easy to lock and unlock quickly (I can do it in under 30 seconds).
Because it is quite compact, you cant really get the D lock around something much bigger than a street pole, so if you live somewhere with heaps of street poles, you should be sweet."

Good lock
"I find this to be a good U lock. It is small enough to fit under the top tube when attached to the bracket, which I tie to the seat tube. I doubt that the bigger kryptonite would fit. It is ligher than a bigger kryptonite, and does the job. The 4 ft cable is a good addition."

2ロックに最適
Pros: 耐久性, 良いバリュー, 快適さ, 高品質, 丈夫さ
Cons: 順応性のなさ, カチカチ音
"ミニU字全般に言えますが、日本では地球ロック出来る場所がある程度限られます。
そのため、どこでも使えるとは限らないため、これ一つで使うにはちょっと難しいです。
もちろん、どうにもならないときは付属のケーブルを利用するという手もありますが、そうするとボルクリなどで切られてしまう可能性が出てきます。

運用としては車体に固定できるので、シートポストやトップチューブなどに固定しておくことにより、持ち運びは快適。ただ、標準状態で、振動でかちかちと音が鳴るので、ゴムブッシングなどを利用してカチカチ音を無くすとより良いでしょう。"
