Will a Cable Lock Keep My Bikes Safe or Can Someone Just Cut It Off?
Question:
I would like to know how easy it would be for someone to cut through this cable and take the whole thing off without actually opening the lock ? thanks

Expert Reply:
Honestly, it would be pretty easy for someone with bolt cutters to cut through the cable lock you mentioned, # e98891. Locks in general are not a guarantee against theft, but a deterrent. If someone is determined to take your personal belongings, a lock is not going to stop them. But, if you have entwined a cable lock through your bikes, a thief will most likely move on to an easier target rather than fiddle with unwrapping your cable lock.
We have a selection of cable locks from which to choose.
