Reviews Inexpensive Protection but Works  by: on: 27-Jun 2009 I installed this on my daughter's bike for use in college. When you install, you attach one end to the frame and wind the other around the seat post before attaching to the seat so that there is not enough slack to pull the seat completely out of the post. You have to dissassemble the seat to attach the cable, then reassemble. By the way, buy a regular nut to replace the quick-release for the seat. Why make it easier for a thief. Thieves could reverse the assembly process to steal the seat or cut the cable if they are carrying a cable cutter but this hasn't happened. Instead, they go to another bike that doesn't have the cable. My daughter has come back to her bike to find the seat loosened but still there. I assume whoever tried to take the seat didn't notice the cable from the start. thinner than I expected  by: on: 12-Jun 2009 The cable was a lot thinner than I expected from just looking at the picture. I should have pulled out a ruler to see what 5 mm (~1/5 inch) looks like before ordering. In any case, I think it does well enough deterring casual thieves. I use it to tether my front wheel to a u-lock on through the rear wheel -- it's just long enough for that purpose. It was cheap, so I'm not really complaining bike lock  by: on: 04-Jun 2008 A little wimpy for the cord strength, but I think it will do the job for seat security and the price was right.
