Product Information

Full details

The SeaSucker Cable Anchor - Black is designed for cyclists who use SeaSucker bike racks and want an extra layer of security against bike theft. Its primary benefit is providing a secure point to attach a cable lock to your vehicle, deterring opportunistic thieves. A potential caveat is that it relies on the vehicle's trunk or hatchback being closed to function, which may not be ideal for all parking situations. This anchor is a robust, plastic-coated steel rod that fits into the seam of a trunk or hatchback, offering a protected point for cable locks.

FAQs

How is the Cable Anchor secured to the car?

It is secured by placing it in the seam between the trunk or hatchback and the car body, then closing the trunk or hatchback, which pinches the anchor firmly in place.

What size cable lock can I use?

The anchor has a hole that is 3.5cm in diameter, suitable for most standard cable locks.

Will this damage my car's paint?

No, the anchor is coated in plastic to protect your car's paintwork from scratches.

Can I use this if my trunk is open?

No, the anchor requires the trunk or hatchback to be closed to create the necessary clamping force for security.

Is this a replacement for a high-security lock?

This is an anchor point for a cable lock, adding security by preventing easy removal of the bike. It is best used in conjunction with a robust cable lock and other security measures.

What comes in the box?

The box contains a single SeaSucker Cable Anchor - Black.

What are the dimensions of the anchor?

The anchor is 10cm wide at its base and 9cm tall.

Troubleshooting

Anchor feels loose

Ensure the trunk or hatchback is fully closed and making firm contact with the anchor. Check that the seam is not excessively wide or narrow for the anchor's design.

Cable lock doesn't fit through the hole

Verify you are using a standard-sized cable lock. The anchor's hole is 3.5cm; very thick or unusually shaped locks may not fit.

Concern about paint damage

The anchor features a plastic-dipped coating specifically to protect paint. Ensure the coating is intact and clean the anchor before use to remove any grit.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Adds a crucial security layer to prevent bike theft with SeaSucker racks.
  • Protects vehicle paint with its plastic-coated design.
  • Simple and quick to attach and detach without tools.
  • Durable steel construction ensures longevity.
  • Works with a wide range of common cable locks.

Cons

  • Requires the trunk or hatchback to be closed, limiting its use when the trunk is open.
  • Effectiveness depends on the strength of the attached cable lock.
  • Not a standalone security solution; best used in conjunction with other deterrents.
  • May not fit all vehicle trunk/hatchback seams perfectly.
  • Best suited for temporary security needs rather than long-term parking.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Open your trunk or hatchback.
  2. Place the SeaSucker Cable Anchor into the gap between the trunk/hatchback lid and the car's body.
  3. Close the trunk or hatchback firmly. The anchor's steel rod will be securely held in the seam, with the loop exposed.
  4. Thread your cable lock through the anchor's 3.5cm hole and secure it around your bike frame.

Compatibility:

  • Designed to work with most standard cable locks.
  • Requires a trunk or hatchback seam that can accommodate the anchor's placement.

Care:

  • Wipe clean with a damp cloth as needed.
  • Periodically check the plastic coating for any damage that could expose the steel rod.
