Road and fitness riders who want something tiny to deter a walk-off theft during café and toilet stops.
The BBB MiniCase is about as small as a bike lock gets. A 670 mm steel cable winds out of the case, loops through your frame and wheel, and clicks back into the body. When you are done it rolls back in, so there is nothing to coil up.
It locks with a three-digit changeable code, so there is no key to carry. The cable has a protective sleeve to go easy on your paint, and the whole thing weighs just 45 g, light enough to forget it is in your pocket.
BBB rates it at security level 1, which is honest: this is a deterrent for short stops like grabbing a coffee or ducking into the shop, not a lock for leaving a bike on the street all day. For that, pair it with a proper D-lock or chain.
Tiny and light

Lock
Cable
General
Rolling mechanism
The steel cable winds back into the case, so there is no loose cable to coil up and stow.
Changeable code
Set your own three-digit combination, so there is no key to carry or lose.
Great for
Maybe not for
The 670 mm cable goes around a frame tube and one wheel, or around a post. It will not reach both wheels and the frame together.
Use it as a deterrent
A 1.6 mm cable stops someone casually riding off with your bike, but it can be cut quickly. Lock to something solid, through the frame and front wheel, and keep the bike in sight when you can.
Set your code first
Change the code from the factory setting before your first ride and note it somewhere safe. It is easy to forget a code you have only used once.
