Product Information

Full details

The Six Peaks Cycling Cable Lock in Black is designed for cyclists seeking a robust yet flexible security solution. Its key benefit is offering a high-security barrier with keyless convenience, perfect for daily commuters and weekend riders. A potential caveat is that coiled cables, while flexible, may offer less reach than straight cables for securing very large items or multiple bikes simultaneously. This lock features a hardened steel core, a 4-dial combination system, and a vinyl-coated, weather-resistant coiled cable.

FAQs

How do I reset the combination on my Six Peaks Cable Lock?

To reset the combination, first open the lock using the current combination. Locate the reset button (usually on the lock body), press and hold it, then set your new 4-digit combination using the dials. Once your new combination is set, release the reset button. Ensure you remember your new code.

Is this lock suitable for securing my bike overnight?

While this lock offers good security for its type, it is best suited for shorter periods or lower-risk environments. For overnight security, especially in urban areas, it is recommended to use a high-security U-lock or heavy-duty chain lock, potentially in combination with this cable lock for added protection.

How long is the cable?

The cable is 1.8 meters (approximately 5.9 feet) in length. It is a coiled cable, meaning its usable length will be shorter when not stretched out.

Can I lock multiple bikes with this cable?

The 1.8m coiled cable can potentially lock two bikes together or one bike to a fixed object, depending on the size of the bikes and the object. It is most effective for securing a single bike and its frame to a rack.

What should I do if I forget my combination?

Unfortunately, if you forget your combination and have not set up a reset method or lost the reset instructions, you will likely need to cut the lock. It is crucial to record your combination in a secure place or use a memorable sequence.

Is the vinyl coating durable?

The vinyl coating is designed to be durable and protect against weather and scratches. However, like any coating, it can wear down over time with heavy use or exposure to harsh conditions. Regular inspection is recommended.

What is the warranty period for this lock?

Please refer to the product packaging or the manufacturer's official website for specific warranty information, as this can vary.

Troubleshooting

Cannot open the lock, combination does not work.

Ensure the dials are precisely aligned with your chosen combination. If you've forgotten the combination and cannot reset it, you may need to contact the manufacturer for assistance or consider replacing the lock.

Dials are stiff or difficult to turn.

Clean the dials with a dry cloth. If the issue persists, apply a small amount of graphite lubricant specifically designed for locks. Avoid using oil-based lubricants, which can attract dirt.

Vinyl coating is peeling or damaged.

Minor cosmetic damage might not affect security, but significant peeling could expose the steel cable. Inspect the cable for signs of rust or weakening. If the core is compromised, replace the lock.

Lock mechanism feels loose or jammed.

Gently try to adjust the cable tension while turning the dials. Ensure no debris is obstructing the locking mechanism. If it remains jammed, do not force it, as this could cause further damage.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Offers a high level of security with a hardened steel core and pick-resistant combination.
  • Keyless convenience with a customizable 4-dial system.
  • The coiled cable provides flexibility for locking various items.
  • Durable construction with a vinyl coating for weather resistance.
  • Portable and easy to carry on the go.

Cons

  • Coiled cable may have limited reach compared to straight cables for securing multiple bikes or large frames.
  • Combination locks can be susceptible to brute-force attacks if not adequately protected.
  • Reliance on remembering the combination; lost combinations can render the lock unusable.
  • May not be sufficient for high-risk areas without additional security measures.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Initial Setup:

  1. Set your desired 4-digit combination by following the included instructions. Typically, this involves opening the lock, aligning the dials to the factory default (usually 0000), pressing a reset button or lever, entering your new code, and then releasing the button/lever.
  2. Close the lock around your bicycle and the object it is secured to.
  3. Scramble the dials to lock.

Compatibility:

This lock is compatible with most standard bicycle frames, wheels, and fixed objects such as bike racks, poles, and fences. The flexible cable allows it to adapt to different shapes and sizes.

Care Instructions:

  • Keep the combination dials clean and free from debris. Periodically use a dry cloth to wipe them down.
  • Avoid exposing the lock mechanism to excessive moisture or dirt, which can impede the smooth operation of the dials.
  • If the lock becomes stiff, a small amount of graphite lubricant (not oil) can be applied to the mechanism to improve performance.
  • Store the lock neatly when not in use to prevent tangling and damage to the vinyl coating.
