OxfordU-Lock Essential Shackle Lock - Black, 32 cm

Ordered for daughters bike looks a good lock but unfortunately it doesn't fit anywhere on her bikeSo she will have to carry it in her back pack

We bought this long time ago. When we get it, the plastic cover of the lock was broken, nevertheless the lock itself was perfectly functioning, so we kept it and didn't send it back. Value for money is not great but fair.

A few reviews have mentioned the locking mechanism getting jammed, I haven't had this issue at all fingers crossed. A good, sturdy lock for a push bike.

I think I put too much faith in this product... Lol... Thieves actually stole the bike along with the padlock.😬

I have bought it for locking my bike whilst in my garage, so a large strong heavy one like this is ideal.It would be good for use when commuting and comes with frame holder to store on your bike, but a bit heavy to take with you for long rides.

The good news is it's unlikely for the average thief to be able to break into the lock and steal your bike. The bad news is the mechanism on the lock catches so often that you might be able to take your bike anywhere either

Very good

I previously had an Oxford bike lock, but I had to replace it because the locking mechanism kept getting jammed. It would take me about 5-10 minutes on average to just unlock my bike and, one evening when it took half an hour, I decided to replace it with a new one. I thought this jamming was just because the bike lock was old. No, the design is just awful.Assuming it was just old, I went ahead and buy this same model of Oxford bike lock and oiled the locking mechanism as recommended. However, after less than 10 locks/unlocks, I could feel the locking mechanism start to jam again. This got worse and worse, and after 2 weeks of use it takes about 15 minutes again to open the lock, giving me a panic attack on whether I need to employ an angle grinder to free my bike. The locking mechanism is so trash - not only does it not unlock properly, the keyhole itself is made of many twisting parts - I assume to stop people picking the lock, but it is useless if it spins so freely that you have to wiggle the key around to manually align the parts of the keyhole, before the entire key can fit into the lock. Maybe if you want to almost permanently lock something, then this is the lock for you. But besides that, I would rather strap my bike onto my backpack and walk around like that, than to use this bike lock again.
