Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The lock requires no setup beyond using the included keys to operate.
Compatibility: This lock is designed to secure most standard bicycle frames and wheels to static objects like bike racks, poles, or railings. Ensure the object you are locking to is as immovable as possible.
Care: To maintain optimal performance, periodically wipe the neoprene cover with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Ensure the locking mechanism is kept free of grit and grime. You can use a dry lubricant spray (like graphite lubricant) on the keyhole if the mechanism becomes stiff. Avoid exposing the lock to excessive moisture or extreme temperatures for prolonged periods, as this can affect the internal components.
