Bicycle Lock - High Security 5 Digit Combination Coiling Cable Lock, Best for Outdoors, 1.2mx12mm

This is a review of the GoFriend (TonYon) 5 Digit High Security Bike Lock. Contents 1 x Seat post mount 1 x Combination lock 1 x Instruction leaflet (Chinese & English). When you first receive it and hold this lock in your hands you notice that it’s got a nice weight behind it. It’s not too heavy though - you realise this is not some cheap Poundland lock your holding. I measured the length of the cable alone (with the ends) and it was 115cm, with a diameter of 11.9mm. I was pleased with the length as it makes locking your bike to different things so much easier. The cable is encased in a hard rubber sheath. Once opened the latch on the opposite end is made from steel (there is no exposed metal parts that can rust in the rain). The dials are tough and made from strong hard ABS plastic. The seat post mount is made from tough ABS plastic and has a red button on it. You slide the protruding plastic that’s on the lock into the mount and it automatically locks, simply pressing the red button to release it again. It looks strong, but you never know what can happen once it’s been subjected to heat and cold, because if it snaps you’ve lost your lock. The lock is preset to “0-0-0-0-0” and when you open it up you notice its twisted and just like memory metal it wants to go back to its natural state of curling up. This is presumably so it can slide into its mount and then hang on your seat post. Keeping it uncoiled can be a bit tricky, especially when you want to keep it straight to measure it. The digits are chunky and when you turn the dials there is a slight resistance to it, with a click. If you want to set a new combination code, you open it (with your combination) and there is a twistable dial which you move 90 degrees clockwise. You set your new code and then move the dial back to its original position, easy peasy! As for its durability of this lock, if I get enough “YES” helpful votes I will update this review to tell you how it’s done after a few months. If you vote “NO” please tell me in the comments why you did not like my review so I can improve them in the future. In conclusion, this was one of the best bike locks I had used. With this lock you don’t need to worry about carrying keys. It was a really long length at 1.2 meters, (which is really good since you can’t always find objects to lock your bike too). The construction was tough with a nice diameter and a weight that would suit foldable bikes (as well as mountain bikes).

Bought for my husbands bike - it’s perfect - big numbers - chunky and easy to use - he loves it as it’s not fiddly- fitted easily to his bike / so set up in seconds

Good product also It looks solid and strong but too heavy and large

Easy to use and durable, slightly too long for what I need, but wraps up well, great colours, easy to set code

Arrived the next day. I love it! Very sturdy and easy to reset a combination. Would definitely recommend. Thank you.

Whilst the lock itself is really good quality and value I was really disappointed that whilst the Amazon listing stated that the lock came with the mount it did not. Guess will have to buy separately now.

Sturdy and reliable bike lock! Feels strong and durable, giving me peace of mind when leaving my bike unattended. The lock mechanism is smooth and easy to use. Great value for the price — definitely recommended for everyday cycling security.

It’s all right but not best
