How Does the Replacement Cable for Swagman Bike Racks # S2005 Lock to Bike

Updated 07/24/2017 | Published 07/21/2017

Question:

I understand the one end which looks similar to a battery cable terminal slips over the bolt next to the bolt head. I cannot figure out if the loop also goes over the bolt or slips over the other end is locked in with key. Thank you for your assistance.

How the Replacement Cable for Swagman Bike Rack and Hitch Locks # S2005 works is similar to a slip knot. Basically you wrap the cable through and around your bike frame and then insert the smaller end through the loop end (creating a slip knot), and then attach the metal sleeve end to the hitch pin lock and you have secured your bike.
