Abus Buffo U-Lock - 4 x 9", Keyed, Black, Includes bracket

Basic lightweight unit. It won't protect you from a thief who really wants your bike but at this price you already knew that.

One major complaint. The key access is on the side of the lock which means that it's hard to use if you don't line it up right. At a busy bike rack this can cause problems if another bike parks close. Other models have the key access in the middle of the lock so it's accessible regardless of how you lock it up. The key access also has a protective weather covering which is a little tricky to access. Even brand new the key takes a few tries to get in. This will only get worse over time in my experience.;

Solid lock. Good length for getting the front wheel and frame both locked. Was annoyed at first that it locks onto the frame clip instead of just sliding in but it is nice knowing that it's 100% secured and the lock itself can't be stolen.;

I had to leave my bike on campus overnight the other day. Someone tried to steal my bike. Someone tried REALLY HARD to steal my bike. They tried to break my wheel they tried to mess up my frame and they tried to bust through my lock. They weren't able to. I came by the next day and found both pieces of my bike (the front wheel and the frame) still locked to the bike rack. I was able to unlock the pieces and get them home. Great lock.;

El candado se siente fuerte y resistente da mucha tranquilidad saber que tu bicicleta esta asegurada con el disuade a los amantes de lo ajeno.;

I purchased a bike but didn't get home till 8:30 last night 8-6-14 and locked it in a private garage with the Buffo lock ready to take the first ride today. The next day after work I went to the new bike and tried to unlock it the key didn't work. I looked closer and suddenly I saw flakes all around. Someone had tired to drill through the lock! There was three holes going through it but they didn't break it! Thank you lock for saving my bike from being stolen before the first ride!;
