The integrated FlexFrame bracket is engineered for seamless attachment to most bicycle frames and forks, allowing riders to lock their bikes in a single motion.

Installation & Usage Tips

1. Secure the Lock: Position the U‑lock around the bike frame and wheel. Use the FlexFrame bracket to attach the lock to the frame or fork for added stability.
2. Locking Sequence: Insert the key, turn it to engage the bolt, and ensure the lock is fully latched before leaving the bike unattended.
3. Maintenance: Periodically inspect the lock for signs of wear or corrosion. Clean the exterior with a mild detergent and dry thoroughly to prevent rust.
4. Storage: When not in use, store the lock in a cool, dry place to preserve its structural integrity.
