When I first got this I was checking out the cable and I thought it was really high-quality, I was excited. That lasted about 30 seconds; that's when I realized the lock piece was missing. A long piece of cable isn't going to lock up my bike unless I tie in a really confusing knot LOL! I contacted Amazon and they are sending me a new one so it is being taken care of. But it sucks I have to wait even longer to use a product I bought. Maybe after I received the new one and use it for a little while I'll update this review.
