OTTOLOCK HEXBAND Cinch Lock - Lightweight Anti Theft Combination Bike Lock, Compact, Extra Tough, Bicycle Accessories, Grey, 18 Inch

Fabulous lock. It is quite light and very strong. Certainly I would not lock up an out of eye sight $5,000 bicycle but it give one great confidence when you stop at the coffee shop or run in to mail a package. While it's venerability it to snips few petty thieves have those. I bought one for my son so he can lock his bike while at school and it is easy for him to operate. I would highly recommend it.

Light weight and easy to carry. I have several of these locks. I keep some attatched to my various bikes so I am never without. I took a 60 inch lock with me while traveling in Europe. Keeping lugage weight down is essential, so no one wants to sacrifice 5 pounds to a lock. But no one wants their precious bicycle stolen either. I could lock my bike nearly anywhere while visiting museums, shopping or sight seeing. Is this a cheap lock? No. But would you trust your bike's safety to a cheap lock? I don't think so. And I like that I can set my own combination code.

I know what you are thinking - yea there are tons of bad reviews stating the cable can be cut in 2 seconds, and the lock gets jammed and stuck, but it couldn't be that bad right? I'll just give it a try..... Yea well you'll be wasting your time. Of course you can get your money back. But I'm telling you it's garbage quality. And not just because it can be easily cut through. That didn't matter to me. Actually maybe you should just go ahead and try it so you can also be super inconvenienced and leave a bad review and this company will finally be driven off Amazon and the face of the retail world. Because the product is that bad. I had this thing out of the box it came in for less than 5 minutes when I knew it was being returned. The first thing you will notice is that the locking mechanism is complete garbage. Super flimsy. The numbers don't align well. There isn't really a line to tell you where to align the numbers. They sort of align half way between the spot they are supposed to be in and the next spot. Where do they go? It's total chaos and garbage quality. Well I immediately tried resetting the combo from the default 000 combination. I followed the instructions exactly and when I inserted the cable into the lock afterwards it would not come back out. And never did so again. I'm not going to go on and on. This product is terrible. And WAY overpriced. And VERY EASY to cut (see other reviews and videos). It can be snipped with $5 clippers. But you know what - the price and the ease at which it can be cut was ok with me. I was going to use this for my OneWheel when in bars and restaurants and the OneWheel was nearby me. I wanted it just so someone can't grab it and run. So I bought it. I'm an idiot. Should have believed the reviews.

I carry my Hexband lock wherever I go. It’s small, easy to pack in my jersey pocket and due to its design, I know when I stop in to grab a coffee, my bike will be there. It’s a great choice for anyone who needs a compact, reliable, and strong lock for those short breaks during a long ride!

I have one of these for quick trips around town where I want to lock my bike, but I'm not thinking I need maximum protection. The best features are that it's small, and coils up easily with it's own retention. It's reasonably light and small enough that it fits in my jeans back pocket or similar. The main downside I find is that the numeric combo lock is a little finicky to use. It's small and just hard (than I'd like) to turn each dial individually. But, otherwise, great little lock that fits my particular need.

This lock is very steady and seems strong.Quality was good.Will plan to more for my other bike.

I bought this lock with lots of hopes for a solid but lightweight option to lock my kick scooters in an university town. It is a great design, lightweight, and very secure. Online videos show how tough it is to cut this Ottolock. But the shortfall was in the combination lock. Included instructions are sparse, so it worked best when I found online videos from company that explained the combination setup much better.After awhile I had the lock set and it worked but the challenge was the different wheel numbers. They were so hard to turn, and after a hour of trying to break them in and using WD40, I found my fingers raw and the first wheel set was still too tough to turn. I was so sad to return what appeared to be a well designed and secure lightweight option, but knowing I could not unlock it with ease while I was out left me with no other reasonable option.I have never returned anything on Amazon, and was delighted to find that BikeWorldUSA and Amazon made it super easy with no postage required on my end. I opted for an Abus Bordo chain instead, but will keep an eye out for future Ottolock products. And BikeWorldUSA, I will definitely purchase from y’all again.

I loved that the lock was light, compact, and easy to use. It gave me peace of mind when I would go into a grocery store, for instance, as I could quickly and easily lock the bike to a bike stand or sign post.As per the product literature, this lock is not the most secure as it could be cut using power tools or bolt cutters quite easily but for its weight and compactness it’s a great option for bicycle touring where you just need something to deter the temptation of rolling the bike away. Loved the product.
