Product Information
Full details
The Abus Cable Frame Lock Adaptor is designed for cyclists who need an extra layer of security for their bicycle and accessories. Its key benefit is providing a flexible way to deter theft by connecting directly to compatible ABUS frame locks. A potential caveat is its reliance on an existing ABUS frame lock for full functionality. This adaptor acts as a 12 mm thick, 100 cm steel cable, offering a stable connection point to secure items like bags or helmets in addition to the bike itself.

Troubleshooting

Ensure the locking bolt is fully inserted into the frame lock's housing. Check that the frame lock itself is functioning correctly and is not damaged. Verify compatibility with your specific ABUS frame lock model.
Difficulty inserting the locking bolt.
Ensure there are no obstructions in the frame lock's housing. Try wiggling the cable slightly as you insert it. Make sure you are using the correct end of the cable if applicable.
