Looking after it

Spin the dials to a random number after locking, or you leave the code sitting on the lock. A drop of light oil in the barrel once a year keeps the mechanism turning in winter.

Quick To UseInsert the post and it is locked

Set your own combination, no key to lose.

Steel cable lock with a powder coated black finish and a resettable combination. No key, so nothing to leave at home.

The best lock is the one you actually carry, and a cable is the one most people carry because it is light and it coils.

This one is a combination, so there is no key to lose and no spare to keep somewhere sensible.

You set your own code, and you can reset it whenever you like.

The cable is steel with a powder coated black finish, which protects the cable and stops it marking your frame.

Locking is one movement: insert the post and it is secure.

Bike Lock Cable

It is worth being straight about what a cable lock is for. A cable is a deterrent and a convenience. It stops an opportunist walking off with a bike that is leaning against a wall. It will not defeat someone who arrives with the right tool and time to use it.

Bike Lock Cable

That makes it the right lock for a cafe stop, a short errand, or securing a bike inside a shed, a bike tent or a communal store where it is already behind a door.

Bike Lock Cable

For a bike left in the street all day, or overnight in a city, pair it with a heavier lock or use one instead. Anyone who tells you a light cable is high security is selling you something.

Bike Lock Cable

Where a cable genuinely wins is the second job: threading through both wheels and the frame, or through a helmet, in a way a rigid lock cannot. Plenty of riders carry a solid lock for the frame and a cable for the wheels.

The combination removes the most common practical failure, which is the key. No key means no spare to keep somewhere, and nothing to discover you left at home once you have already ridden to the shops.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a key?

No. It is a combination lock, so there is nothing to lose or leave at home.

Can I set my own code?

Yes, and you can reset it whenever you like.

How long is the cable?

The supplier does not publish a length. We have asked; when we have it, it goes on this page.

Is it high security?

No, and we would rather say so. A cable is a deterrent. It suits cafe stops and short errands, or securing a bike that is already inside a shed or a bike store.

Can I leave my bike locked with this all day in a city?

Not on this alone. Use a heavier lock, or use this alongside one for the wheels.

What is it made of?

Steel, with a powder coated black finish.

Will it scratch my frame?

The powder coating is what stops that. Keep it clean, since grit on any lock is what marks paint.

Can I thread it through both wheels?

That is what a cable is best at. It bends in ways a rigid lock cannot.

Can I lock a helmet with it?

Yes, threading it through a helmet strap is a common use.

What happens if I forget the code?

Then the lock has done its job rather too well. Set something you will remember, and keep a note somewhere that is not on the bike.

Does it come with a mount?

The supplier does not list a frame mount. Most riders coil it into a bag or under a saddle.

How heavy is it?

The supplier does not publish a weight.

Will it work in winter?

Yes. A drop of light oil in the barrel once a year keeps the mechanism free when it is cold and wet.

Can two people share it?

Yes, that is an advantage of a combination over a key. Everyone who needs it knows the code.

Is it good for a child's bike?

Yes, and a code is easier for a child than looking after a key.

Should I spin the dials after locking?

Always. Leaving the code showing defeats the point of the lock.

How many digits is the combination?

The supplier does not specify. Set it on arrival and check it locks before you rely on it.

Can I use it on a motorbike or a scooter?

It is a bicycle lock. Anything heavier deserves security built for it.

Is it waterproof?

It lives outdoors on a bike, so it handles rain. Oil the barrel occasionally.

Will it fit round a lamp post?

Depends on the post and the cable length, which the supplier does not publish. Ask us before you rely on it.

Do you sell a stronger lock?

Not currently. This is the lock in our range, and we would rather be honest about what it is for.

Can I use it inside a bike tent?

Yes, and that is one of the better uses. A tent keeps weather off; the lock is what stops the bike walking.

Does it come in other colours?

It is powder coated black.

Can I reset the code more than once?

Yes.

Is it covered if the mechanism fails?

Faulty goods rights apply. Email us.

What if it arrives locked and I do not have the code?

Email us straight away and we will sort it out.

How long does delivery take?

5 to 7 days after a 24 to 48 hour handling time. Express is available at checkout.

Is delivery free?

Yes on orders of EUR 60 or more. Below that it is a flat EUR 22.

Can I return it?

Yes. You have 14 days to change your mind, and faulty goods rights apply separately.

Where do you deliver?

Across Europe. Prices are in euro and shown including tax.

What a cable lock is honestly for

6 min read Bike Stand Company

Deterrent, not a vault

A cable lock stops the easy theft: the bike leaning unlocked against a wall, the one nobody has to work for. That is a real and common category, and a cable handles it.

It will not stop someone who has arrived with a tool and is prepared to use it. Anyone marketing a light cable as high security is not being straight with you.

Where it is the right choice

Cafe stops. Short errands where the bike is in sight. Securing a bike that is already inside something, a shed, a bike tent, a communal bike store, where the lock is the second layer rather than the only one.

Where it is not

A bike left in a city street all day, or overnight anywhere. Use a heavier lock for that, or use a cable alongside one.

The common setup is a solid lock through the frame and rear wheel, with a cable looped through the front wheel. That plays to what each is good at.

Two habits worth having

Spin the dials after you lock it. A lock sitting on its own combination is unlocked in every way that matters.

Lock to something fixed. A cable through the wheels and round nothing means a bike that can be carried away with the lock still attached.

Page summary

Bike Lock Cable (site SKU bike-lock-cable, warehouse pick code bike-lock-cable) sold by Bike Stand Company at bikestand.eu.com, EUR 29. A combination bicycle cable lock in steel with a powder coated black finish. The combination is set by the user and can be reset; there is no key. Locking is a single movement: the locking post is inserted and the lock is secure. The supplier does not publish a cable length, and the page says so rather than estimating one. Honest positioning stated plainly on the page: a cable lock is a deterrent and a convenience rather than high security. It stops an opportunist taking a bike leaning against a wall but will not defeat someone with the right tool and time, so it suits cafe stops, short errands and securing a bike already inside a shed, bike tent or communal store. For a bike left in the street all day or overnight in a city it should be paired with a heavier lock or replaced by one. Where a cable genuinely wins is threading through both wheels and the frame, or through a helmet, which a rigid lock cannot do, so many riders carry a solid lock for the frame and a cable for the wheels. Stock item, so the 14 day EU right of withdrawal applies in full. Delivery Europe wide, free over EUR 60, otherwise EUR 22.
