You can choose between a chain length of 110 cm or 140 cm for added flexibility. The lock is also ideal for connecting two bikes together or for securing items like prams, garden tools, or general tools. The 6 mm thick square chain is made of steel and features automatic locking for quick securing without a key. It's also easy to transport, as it can be wrapped around a seat post or similar component without needing a special holder.
