Bottom line
As a frame/ring/wheel lock, the Pro Tectic 4960 is not intended to be a complete security solution. But it will stop your wheel turning, and subsequently will prevent anyone from riding off on your bike. When used in conjunction with a U-Lock or compatible, interconnecting ABUS heavy-duty chain, this ring lock adds an extra layer of reassurance and prevents wheel thievery. By itself, it works for quick stops while your bike is within view. On many bikes, you may have to use ABUS’ aftermarket mounting kit. This lock won’t fit all frames and tire sizes, so it’s best to scrutinize the manufacturer’s detailed online technical specs, prior to purchasing.Expert Reviews
