What Others Say
Would rate negative stars if available
You reset the combo by twisting the end. While locking or unlocking your bike, the you can accidentally twist the end and unintentionally change the combo. That is what happened to mine. I used it a few times, then once when trying to remove it from my bike, the combo I set stopped working. I have no idea what the new combo is. I'll have to cut the lock off my bike.
Buy a different lock.
Great minimum security lock with combination that can be reset.
This is a great item to use to protect your bike for a short while in a low-risk situation. I carry one in the underseat bag of my road bike and use it when I stop to run in to a 7-11 or a cafe. Be aware that it in no way replaces a U-lock plus cable setup, which I also have and use anytime I have to lock my bike overnight or in an unsafe area. This lock is what you want when you want to simply discourage someone from simply walking away with your unlocked bike.
Note that Kryptonite makes a similar item which is actually a bit smaller and less bulky. I prefer the OnGuard lock because you can reset the combination, where with the Kryptonite product you're stuck with the combination from the factory.
great for kids
I bought two of these locks for my kids' bikes. These locks are small and lightweight and easy to use. They will be enough of a deterrent for thieves at their elementary school in this small town. Most kids don't even lock their bike. We also have much larger locks from OnGuard and they were too heavy for our kids to use. This is good for how we're going to use it.
A good lock but not very secure.
The lock is exactly as the product description states. Therefore, I am giving it 5 stars because the product is exactly what it claims to be (the create your own combination is especially nice).
However, after getting this lock, I feel most people would be much better off with something different. I use the lock for securing my bike. I wanted something that was small and light, but didn't realize just how small OnGuard Terrier Combo 4 5061 Combination Cable Lock really is. The cable is pretty short, just barely long enough to secure the frame and both wheels, so usually I have to leave one wheel unsecured if locking the bike to something. Also, the cable is very thin and just looks like it could easily be cut with a good wire cutter. Fortunately, I live in a small suburb ... Read More
