Looking after it

Wipe the cable and the dials dry after a wet ride and keep grit out of the dials so they turn freely. Store it coiled rather than kinked.

Nip into the shop without leaving your bike loose outside.

A 1.2m braided steel cable with a combination lock you set yourself. Loop it through a wheel or the frame and around a bike stand, post or pillar.

Popping into a shop or a café and don't want to leave your bike loose? This cable sorts that.

It is 1.2m of high strength braided steel, which the listing describes as not easy to cut.

Loop it through a wheel or the frame, then round a bike stand, post or pillar.

It locks with a combination you set yourself, so there is no key to lose.

Bike Lock Cable

A cable lock is for quick stops and low risk spots: the café, the train station bike rack for an hour, the shed at home. It puts a thief off and stops a bike being wheeled away.

Bike Lock Cable

For a bike left out all day or overnight in a busy place, pair it with a stronger lock. The cable is handy for looping through a quick release wheel while a second lock holds the frame.

Bike Lock Cable

Being 1.2m long, it goes round most bike stands, railings and posts. The listing does not publish the weight, so if that matters for carrying it, email us first.

The combination is your own. The product photos show how to set it: open the lock on the factory code, turn the reset collar, choose your new code, then turn the collar back. Write your code down somewhere safe.

It is not just for bikes. The listing's photos show it on motorbikes, scooters, ladders, pushchairs, helmets and a lawn mower.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long is the cable?

1.2m.

What is it made of?

High strength braided steel, as published on this listing.

Can it be cut?

The listing says the braided steel is not easy to cut, but no cable lock is cut proof. Use it for quick stops, and add a stronger lock if the bike is left for a long time in a busy spot.

Does it need a key?

No. It is a combination lock, so there is no key to carry or lose.

How do I set my own combination?

The photos on this page show the steps. Open the lock on the factory code, turn the reset collar until it stops, turn the dials to your new code, then turn the collar back. If you get stuck, email us and we'll talk you through it.

What if I forget my code?

The listing does not describe a way to reset it without the code, so write your code down somewhere safe once you set it. If you do get locked out, email us and we'll help where we can.

What can I lock my bike to?

The listing suggests a bike stand, a post or a pillar. Anything solid and fixed that the cable can loop round will do.

Will it go through both wheels and the frame?

It depends on your bike and what you are locking to. The listing does not say it reaches both wheels, the frame and a post in one loop. Measure the path with a piece of string: if it is under 1.2m, the cable will reach.

Will it go round a thick post?

Measure round the post plus the part of the bike you want to lock. If the total is under 1.2m, it fits.

How thick is the cable?

The listing text does not state a thickness, though one product photo is labelled with it. If thickness matters for your setup, email us and we'll confirm before you order.

Can I use it with a bike stand?

Yes. Locking a wheel or the frame to a bike stand is one of the uses the listing names.

Can I use it for other things?

Yes. It is a multi purpose cable lock, and the photos show it on motorbikes, scooters, ladders, pushchairs, helmets and a lawn mower.

Is it good enough for an e-bike?

E-bikes cost more to replace, so treat this cable as a second lock for an e-bike. It is handy for the wheels or the battery area while a stronger lock holds the frame.

Does it come with a frame bracket?

The listing does not mention a bracket. One photo shows it coiled round the seat post for carrying, or you can pop it in a bag.

How heavy is it?

The listing does not publish a weight. Email theteam@customersupport.care if you need it before ordering.

Is it weatherproof?

The listing does not say. Wipe the cable and the dials dry after a wet ride so they keep turning freely.

Is it approved by insurers?

The listing does not publish an insurance rating or a security test result. If your insurer asks for a rated lock, check with them before relying on this one alone.

Can I buy more than one?

Yes. Add the quantity you need at checkout. Delivery becomes free once your order reaches £60.

Is delivery free on one lock?

The lock is £19, so on its own the flat £22 delivery charge applies. Delivery is free on orders of £60 or more.

Is there a warranty?

No separate warranty term is published for this lock. Your rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 apply in full: goods must be of satisfactory quality, fit for purpose and as described.

Can I return it if I change my mind?

Yes, within 15 days. It needs to come back unused, in its original packaging, with proof of purchase, and you pay the return postage. If it arrives faulty or damaged, we cover it.

How do I look after it?

Keep grit out of the dials and wipe it dry when it gets wet. Store it coiled rather than kinked.

Can I lock two bikes together with it?

Often, yes, if the loop through both bikes and the post is under 1.2m. Measure the path first.

I haven't received my order yet. Is it lost?

If you have any concerns about your order, email our support team at theteam@customersupport.care and they will be glad to help. Most emails are answered within one business day.

How do I know if my order has been shipped?

Once your order ships it is marked as complete and you receive a confirmation email with a tracking number.

Do you have a shop location?

No. We are an online supplier with no physical shop or premises, which keeps our costs down.

Do I get a receipt for my order?

Yes. A receipt is emailed to you once payment is made, and a second email with a tracking number follows when your order ships.

What are your delivery options and how long will it take?

Delivery is free across the UK on orders of £60 or more. Below that it is a flat £22. Orders are handled in 24 to 48 hours and then take 5 to 7 days to arrive, and we deliver to Ireland on the same service. For anywhere else, email us before ordering.

What currency are the prices displayed in?

All prices are in pounds sterling (GBP), and the price you see is the price you pay at checkout.

Which payment methods are accepted?

We accept credit and debit cards, processed by Stripe, and PayPal.
