Product Information

Full details

The Hiplok FX Cyan Cable Lock is designed for cyclists needing a lightweight, convenient solution for short stops and opportunistic theft protection. Its primary benefit is the retractable 1m cable with a resettable combination, offering quick security without keys. A caveat is its suitability for brief stops rather than extended periods of high-risk security. Key features include its compact, wearable design with a 'Clip and Ride' system, integrated 3-digit combination, reflective detailing for visibility, and a 1-meter retractable steel cable.

FAQs

What level of security does the Hiplok FX offer?

The Hiplok FX provides basic protection against opportunistic theft and is best suited for short stops in low-risk areas. It is not designed for high-security needs or extended periods of unattended locking.

Can I use the Hiplok FX to secure multiple bikes?

Yes, the 1-meter cable can be used to secure multiple bikes together for very brief stops, provided they are close enough and the cable can reach them and a secure anchor point.

How do I change my combination if I forget it?

Unfortunately, if you forget your combination, it cannot be reset or bypassed. You would need to replace the lock. It is crucial to memorize your chosen code or store it securely.

Is the cable cut-resistant?

The cable is made of steel for basic security, but like most cable locks, it can be cut with dedicated tools. It is intended as a deterrent against quick, opportunistic theft.

What does 'Clip and Ride' mean?

'Clip and Ride' refers to the integrated system that allows you to easily clip the lock onto your cycling jersey pocket or shorts, making it convenient to carry while you ride.

How long is the cable?

The Hiplok FX features a 1-meter (approximately 3.3 feet) retractable steel cable.

What is the warranty period for this lock?

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

Troubleshooting

Combination lock is stuck or won't open.

Ensure you are entering the correct combination. Check that the dials are fully aligned with the indicator line. If the cable is under tension, release any strain on the lock before attempting to open it.

The retractable cable is not working smoothly.

Gently pull the cable out to its full length and allow it to retract slowly without forcing it. Ensure no dirt or debris is obstructing the mechanism. If problems persist, contact customer support.

Cannot reset the combination.

Make sure the lock is in the unlocked position and that you are using the correct tool to press the reset mechanism. Follow the reset instructions carefully, ensuring you hold the reset button while changing the combination.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Keyless operation with a resettable combination.
  • Compact and lightweight design for easy transport.
  • Convenient 'Clip and Ride' system for wearable storage.
  • Added visibility with reflective elements.
  • Suitable for securing various parts of the bike or multiple bikes on quick stops.

Cons

  • Offers basic protection, not suitable for high-security situations.
  • Cable length may be limiting for certain locking scenarios.
  • Combination lock mechanism can be less secure than high-quality keyed locks against determined thieves.
  • Retractable mechanism could potentially jam if not handled carefully.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setting Your Combination:

  1. Ensure the lock is in the unlocked position.
  2. Locate the reset mechanism (usually a small pin or button near the combination dials). You may need a small tool like a pen tip.
  3. Set the dials to your desired 3-digit combination.
  4. Press and hold the reset mechanism while turning the dials to your new code.
  5. Release the reset mechanism. Your new combination is set.
  6. Important: Memorize your combination. There is no way to reset it without knowing the current code.

Compatibility:

The Hiplok FX is suitable for use with most bicycles. The 1-meter cable can typically secure a frame and one wheel to standard bicycle racks, poles, or railings. It is also useful for securing accessories like helmets or bags to your bike during brief stops.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the lock with a damp cloth as needed. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Retraction: Ensure the cable retracts smoothly. If it becomes stiff, try gently pulling it out fully and allowing it to retract slowly. Avoid forcing the retraction.
  • Combination Wheels: Keep the combination wheels clean and free of debris to ensure smooth operation.
  • Storage: Store the lock in a dry place when not in use to prevent corrosion.
