got out my rusty old junior hacksaw...literally took 30 seconds ...Could not believe how easy it was to cut through.
You'd have been through it in 5 if you used cable cutters.
How I know, lots of customers come into shop and ask me to remove cable lock they have lost key for after tangling around stem, seatpost etc.

CSB alert - I've been using one of those small light cables to lock my front wheel to the frame. It's only a £50 quid shimano wheel so not worth carrying around a Mini Evo or whatever. It's a fairly skinny cable but nothing like as spaghetti-like as some you see around. Yesterday the key snapped in the lock so I had to cut it - got out my rusty old junior hacksaw, expecting it to take half an hour or something. It literally took 30 seconds - straight through the plastic and inside was only 20 strands of braided wire. Could not believe how easy it was to cut through.
