You can trust Cycling Weekly.
The Squire Mako Conger bike lock is the only combination/chain lock that we have tested recently, the rest using a key lock system.
The obvious advantage to a combination lock is the keyless use; never again will you have to turn around and go home because you can't lock your bike up due to a lack of keys.
The chain is encased in a super-tough PVC outer, and the hardened steel links are visible through the sleeve — and they look beefy, as attested to by the Sold Secure Bronze rating.
The quality movement of the five-digit combination code barrel was particularly pleasing, and the 900mm length is pretty useful too. A satisfyingly user-friendly piece of kit.
The Mako Conger can’t quite match some of its rivals for quality of finish, though; it’s a bit plasticky in places and started to look a little tatty after a few uses.
The lock weighs in at 1.8kg.
