- Place the mounting bracket against the frame.
- Thread the two mounting straps through the designated slots on the bracket and around the bike frame.
- Pull the straps tight and secure them firmly. Ensure the bracket is stable and does not move.
Method 2: Using Bottle Cage Mounts
- Align the mounting bracket with the two threaded holes typically used for a bottle cage on your bike frame.
- Insert the provided screws through the bracket and into the threaded holes.
- Tighten the screws securely. Do not overtighten to avoid damaging the frame or screws.
Once the bracket is installed, slide the folded lock into the bracket. The sturdy rubber closing mechanism will hold the lock securely in place during transport.
