Yes, the double-looped ends are specifically designed to work with U-locks, disc locks, and padlocks. It is an excellent way to extend your reach and secure components that a standard U-lock cannot easily reach.

The cable features a protective vinyl covering that helps prevent scratches and abrasions on your bike's finish. However, it is still good practice to avoid wrapping it tightly against delicate painted surfaces.

The lock includes a mounting bracket that attaches to your bike frame, allowing you to transport it securely without it interfering with your ride. If you prefer not to use the bracket, the flexible cable can also be coiled and stored in a backpack or pannier.

While the 10mm braided steel provides a solid deterrent against opportunistic theft, it is not cut-proof. It is intended to slow down thieves in low-risk environments, but it should not be relied upon to stop determined thieves with heavy-duty tools.
