can the loops on the cable be hooked on the u lock when you lock the bike - or do you need a separate lock for them?
267507
Yes, the loops fit nicely into the U-boat but be sure to lock the bike first with the U-boat and use the cable only for securing the wheels otherwise theirs can easily cut the wire
267508
Yes, it does. You do not need a separate lock. The loops is long enough to secure a tree...etc., if the u lock won't and be hooked on the u lock.
267509
Yes the loops can easily be locked with the u-lock. Very handy for locking the front tire and/or another bike as well.

There is no locking mechanism on the rack itself, but I just run a cable through all the bikes and through the loop on my trailer hitch. Keep in mind that if you lock/chain the bikes to the rack itself, you'd also want to make sure you have a locking trailer hitch/pin to prevent someone from simply pulling the pin and taking the entire rack with all your bikes attached to it (albeit, that would be heavy and awkward...but maybe I'm just a bit paranoid ;-) Great rack though. Good luck.

Here are the points I will make : 1. Storing this kryptonite U lock will take a bit of thought with bungee cords or such. 2. It is a heavy little thing, about five pounds. 3. It will very likely keep your bike safe, and one cannot say that about most other locks. Other locks have advantages like costing less, weighing less, storing easier, and fitting more posts and racks... but not keeping your bike safe. Final point is that the smaller the U lock the less vulnerable to attack it is, but of course this means there are fewer places that you can lock to. I lost my Trek with a cable lock, bought a better trek and this much better lock..no problems for 2 years in Miami which is one of the many bike theft capitols. I would get this lock and work around the problems that security requires.

If you have locking skewers on your wheels you don't need a cable. If you have quick releases you can lock the wheels together and frame. This is a small shank lock though so I'd recommend a cable to loop through front wheel. Be sure not to secure a bike with just the cable. Get a bigger lock shank of you tend to lock to larger objects.

I use my "U" lock from my bicycle to lock it around that angled bar just behind the front wheel. I lock it up at places where I won't be very long like the store. Don't think I'd lock it someplace for longer if I couldn't keep a periodic eye on it.
147553
No. Don't plan on leaving your bike with this rack. I don't know of a way to lock it.
1422936
Yes. You can use the u-bar lock to lock the cable to. Or you can have a separate lock to use with the cable.In short, they're two separate locks that can work in tandem or separately.I hope this helps.

Yes, with all the many ways and positions you can use a u-lock on a bike frame, this bag should not come in the way.

I suppose it could if you can find a pin that will go through that is lockable. On my trip to Moab, UT we just bought a extra long cable and a set your own combination lock running it the cable through the 3 bikes wheels and back to tho the hitch where we used the safety chain loops to lock the the bikes to the the car. The only think I had a problem with is the pin/bolt that came with the carrier was too short, and the hole in the carrier was is 1/ inch and my hitch uses a 5/8th pin. We fixed this by hitting Lowe's and buying a 1/2' bold and nut. so if you go buy a locking pin for the hitch be sure it's long enough and only 1/2". As I said I also wanted to secure the bikes so the cable is my advice. I suppose it could if you can find a pin that will go through that is lockable.

There is no locking cable that comes with the unit. It does come with two lag screws to be able to attach it to something solid, if you desire.

The bar itself has a locking mechanism but the bike mounts do not. Although, you can order locking bike mounts separately that should work with this rack.

I had to use master locks, small ones with the larger extended metal piece on top. They are still a tight fit. Might be your best bet to go with a cable lock of some kind.

Hey J I park this at a rack with the rear tire in the rack. The bike rack is a poor design. I put the U lock through the frame and rear wheel and to the rack and use the cable to secure the front wheel. It works great. You should have no problems locking it to a rack or a pole or post.
1952109
It does not come with a bike lock but you can buy one as an add on. I already had a long cable lock and wrapped it around the post and and all bikes.

Not with the included 4ft cable. You would need a 10ft+. It's always best to have a ULock through the front tire and frame of each bike but if your neighborhood doesn't have a lot of bike theft then one lock and two cables would be fine

It is mounted to the tire. There is no locking mechanism. If you wanted to secure the bike, you would have to use a cable and a lock.
