Cutter Tryke Cable Lock - 2009
So you might not actually own an urban assault tricycle, but if you did you know you’d wanna lock that beast up with Cutter’s Tryke Cable Lock. This thicker-than-a-retriever-tail cable lock wilts the hearts of thieves just like your heart wilted when you didn’t score that sick big wheel on X-mas morning back in ’87. Sling the Tryke over your shoulder and leave the bag at home. Cutter included two keys so you have options when it’s time to unlock.
Bottom Line: My lock is bigger than your lock.
Really meant for a tryke.

When I first tore into my box, this one Cable Lock stood out because of it's extreme size and weight. This Cable Lock is HUGE; don't expect to get something you can sling over your shoulder like the description says.
With that out of the way, I would definitely feel safe leaving my bike at the bad end of town with this Cable Lock. Just don't expect anyone helping you if you lose the keys though ;)
It seems sturdy

But it seems to actually be a normal sized cable wrapped in extremely thick plastic (the plastic is rounded so it magnifies the cable to make it look a lot larger, cut into it to see what I mean, it's not hard to do). I would say that nearly half the diameter is plastic.
Otherwise, it's a nice hefty feeling lock that's comfortable to carry around and isn't too heavy. I just compared it to my spiral cable lock and this cable's still a good deal thicker, but not nearly as thick as I thought it to be at first glance.
Note: I have only cut through the plastic in the photo. The cable itself is not so easy to cut, though I didn't really try since I plan on still using it.

Key turns a little too easily

This is a beefy cable lock and it's a good length. My only issue is with the key turning in the lock while I lock up. When I go to put the latch end back into the lock, I usually have to turn the key again to get it to go.
short & stout!

This lock is massive. I got one as part of the Cutter Commuter package on bonktown. Some reviewers there claim that it's too short to lock up both wheels, but that's just nonsense.
If you're worried about wheel theft (presumably because you use QR skewers), all you have to do is remove your front wheel and place it next to the rear - then run the lock through the frame and both wheels, then around the rack or whatever you're locking too. Not very difficult at all, really.
The only time any additional length would be beneficial is if you're trying to lock two or more bikes at the same time or if you need to lock it around a big tree or something. For one bike, on a rack, meter, sign or lightpost? This thing is burly and perfect. If it were any longer, it would just be (unnecessarily) heavier to carry around.
Good lock, great price!

This is a good and durable lock, I just wish it was about 6" longer and that the key didn't turn so easy. It can be hard to close the lock because the key turns easily.
Change me.
