Product Information
Full details
The Hiplok 2MC Auxiliary Cable is designed for cyclists who need a versatile, secondary security measure to protect their wheels and accessories while their primary lock secures the frame. This 2-meter steel cable provides exceptional reach and flexibility for securing components, though it should be noted that as an auxiliary cable, it is intended to be used in conjunction with a primary D-lock, chain lock, or the Hiplok AIRLOK system rather than as a standalone locking device.

FAQs
Can I use the 2MC as my only lock?
No, the 2MC is an auxiliary cable without an integrated lock mechanism. It is designed to be used with a D-lock or padlock.
Is the cable cut-resistant?
It features a 10mm steel braid, which provides a high level of deterrence against opportunistic theft, though no cable is completely cut-proof.
Will this scratch my bike frame?
The cable is covered in a durable plastic coating specifically designed to prevent scratching your bike's paintwork.
Can it be used with a wall anchor?
Yes, you can loop the 2MC through a wall anchor and your bike frame or wheels to increase security in your garage or shed.
How do I store the cable while riding?
Due to its flexible construction, it can be easily coiled and carried in a backpack or wrapped around the seat post.
Troubleshooting
The cable loops do not fit through my lock shackle.
Verify if your primary lock has a thicker shackle than the cable loop eyelet. Ensure you are using the cable with a compatible D-lock or padlock.
The cable is too short to reach both wheels.
If the bike geometry prevents looping both wheels with 2 meters, prioritize the rear wheel, which is often more expensive to replace.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Generous 2-meter length for securing multiple components
- Protective coating prevents frame and rim damage
- Easy to coil and store when not in use
- Highly compatible with existing D-locks and chain locks
Cons
- Not intended for use as a primary security lock
- Lacks an integrated locking mechanism
- Requires a separate padlock or D-lock to function
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the 2MC is straightforward: simply loop the cable through your bike's wheels or accessories and align the two end loops together. Thread the shackle of your primary lock through both loops and secure the lock as normal. The cable is compatible with most standard D-locks, U-locks, and chain padlocks. To ensure longevity, keep the cable away from harsh corrosive environments. While the plastic coating is weather-resistant, wiping the cable down with a dry cloth after riding in heavy rain or mud will help maintain the finish and keep it clean for your next trip.
