Enjoy key-free security with a combination lock you won't misplace. At 6 feet long, you get enough reach to loop through a bike frame, a rack, and hitch safety chain loops for added deterrence while traveling. Handy when you want to secure gear without juggling keys.
Yes, a 6 ft combination cable can help secure a rack and bikes as a deterrent. Route the cable through the bike frame and then through the safety chain loops on the hitch or around the hitch itself. Wrap any slack so it stays tidy. Remember, this helps deter theft but does not prevent it if someone really wants it.
Most use an initial 0000 code and a simple reset step. Dial 0000, remove the cable end, turn the knob 90° clockwise, set your new numbers lined up with the marks, then turn the knob back 90° counterclockwise. If it won't unlock after resetting, try numbers one above or below your set combo in case the wheels weren't perfectly aligned.
Self-coiling keeps slack tidy on the bike and in storage. It can also make routing around frames and racks more difficult, and hooking up can be tricky when the cable is stretched because of the angled connection at the lock. Work with shorter sections at a time to reduce fighting the coil.
Check the outside diameter of the cable and the size of the cable end. We've seen 6 ft options at 1/2 inch diameter, which pass a 1 inch hole, but confirm the end fitting will also pass. If routing is tight, note that coiling can make the cable want to spring back, so plan your path before threading.
