Comments about OnGuard Doberman Cable Bike Lock - 8mm:
I use this lock for daily commuting, and it works well. The one real drawback for me is the clip that attaches the lock to your bike frame. The lock can swivel out side ways and brush against your leg while riding, and the latch can be difficult to activate especially in cold weather, making it difficult at times to disengage the lock from the clip. The lock itself works fine.

Comments about OnGuard Doberman Cable Bike Lock - 8mm:
I've had this lock for about two years now and use it both for my mountain bike and kayak. It provides an acceptable level of security for both. Most often I use it to secure them to my truck tie downs.
Unfortunately, since I have a dual suspension bike, mounting it on the frame for transport is not convenient, however that's a common problem with any locking system. Over all, it self coils well and is easy to store, or throw in a backpack to transport, and dose it's job pretty well.
The only problem I've had with this lock in two years of use, is that the cable inside of the plastic coating rusts pretty easily. After accidently leaving it locked in the bed of my truck for two weeks, I was concerned about the key/lock mechanism rusting. That wasn't a problem, but the inside cable began to rust almost immediately after a single exposure to rain.
If it weren't for the rust issue, I'd give this product 4 stars, but given that most use of this product would be outdoors... I do not find it acceptable to not be properly sealed.
