The brand is MasterLock, RRP$64 at Bunnings. Generally there are two types of python locks, the indoor ones and this weatherproof for outdoors. The Bicycle shop name is Pushys, located in ACT. If you live close by, try a pickup, saves you $12.90 postage. Or buy from it's ebay shop, same price and postage but some of you guys have discount codes or whatever, might be cheaper. That's it. Enjoy.

      I think it's fine for cheap bikes for short periods of time. It's really just to protect against opportunistic thieves rather than dedicated bike thieves carrying tools.

        • garage sale on 10/07/2020 - 11:59

          most locks that are carry able on a bike are just deterrents while you lock your bike and have a coffee , go shopping, at work in bike room, etc, stops opportunistic thieves looking for unlocked bikes

          you aren’t going to lock up your carbon colnago with durace down stairs from an apartment overnight on a street sign post so people work the lock at 3 am ….

          if people are breaking into your house to steal a locked bike, let them have it or it’s easier for them to put a knife at your throat and ask for the keys ….

        It can be defeated by the contents of most peoples pockets:

        Something to tension the lock, a partially inserted key would probably work and then you could just knock the lock against the bike or the post that it's chained to.

          I think you're overestimating the thought process of an opportunistic thief, or any thief in general. :)

          For non-opportunistic thieves, it's far easier and quicker to simply cut locks like these than bother with picking.

      OMG this is a piece of shit! 3 little hits with a small hammer and it's unlocked (!), not even broken

      If you are looking for a self-unlocking lock […] to not secure stuff to your truck, this might be your choice

      Hahaha

    • EyesWideOpen on 10/07/2020 - 11:41

      well, I won't use it on a Trek for sure but good for small things as deterrent, like the council bins.

      Love LPL and Bosnian Bill. They are like the refined version vs the brute force version of a lock picking masters.

      This review is pretty pointless. No bike thief would pick this. Hand-held shears or a battery powered angle grinder go through it in half a second and off they go. These locks are only applicable to use with a bike in line of sight to stop someone jumping on it and riding off quickly.

      • Punkboy on 10/07/2020 - 13:37

        How long does it take for an angle grinder to go through a U style lock? Is there any more value in those?

      • [Deactivated] on 10/07/2020 - 14:10

        Thatd account doe all those people you see carrying around battery powered angle grinder they're almost as common as hen's teeth earrings

        • Punkboy on 10/07/2020 - 14:57

          Along with the people carrying bolt cutters?

          • suburbanmale on 10/07/2020 - 15:45

            @Punkboy: Never leave home without my edc angle grinder and bolt cutters

        This review is pretty pointless. No bike thief would pick this.

        Agreed. The thief would have to wait for me to get off my bike first:

    Check out this video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-tFKmaRm4ms. Maybe its on sale because nobody wants it.

    If you're going to stop someone just picking your bike up from the side of the road, then this would be fine. If you leave it somewhere where someone has enough time to pick the lock without being picked up, then you should probably invest in something a bit more robust.

    In reality, you could drape a chain around a bike without doing it up if you were leaving it somewhere in public and it would be a while before anyone would think to test it.

    • Cordova on 10/07/2020 - 11:47

      You don't need to pick it, you can just tap the side of it while applying tension to the lock to defeat it. It's almost as quick as using the key.

      • ATangk on 10/07/2020 - 12:39

        A lock, no matter how strong or hard it is to pick, is only ever going to be a deterrent. If someone wants your bike/tools etc, a lock isnt going to stop them. Unless you want to buy a $200 lock that weighs 1.5kg. The best lock is one you use.

  • wordpickle on 10/07/2020 - 12:53

    Can I use it for cobras, too?

    The police over here regularly run operations where they swap out locks like these for U type locks free of charge. Possibly an easy/cheap way to get a half decent lock if you could be bothered chasing them up but says something about the security of this style lock.

  • [Deactivated] on 10/07/2020 - 14:24

    But ulocks are only good if you've got a narrow pole to. Then you have to decide which you value more, your frame or tyre,

    The number of bikes i see u-locked frames attached to a pole, but the quick-release wheel(s) missing. And I've even see a few u-locked wheels attached to a bike stand, without a frame.

    A combo is your best bet,

    ..really not liking the layout & design of the new pushys site

    • brotherfranciz on 10/07/2020 - 16:10

      Interesting - I actually like the new design. For one reason or another, the search and sorting on the old site just wouldn't work for me, which made it such a pain to find bargains. Also, the categories on the old site were weirdly by brand rather than actual categories…

      • bongom on 22/07/2020 - 11:41

        Does your wishlist display correctly or is it missing items?
