How do I install my SEATYLOCK Foldylock Compact bike lock using bottle holder threads or straps?

[DiLily]

Mounting your SEATYLOCK Foldylock Compact bike lock correctly ensures both security and convenience. Here's a straightforward guide to help you install it using either the bottle holder threads or the included reusable straps:

Mounting with Bottle Holder Threads:

1. Identify the Bottle Holder Threads: Locate the threaded holes on your bike frame, typically on the downtube or seat tube, where you'd normally mount a water bottle cage.
2. Align the Lock: Position the SEATYLOCK Foldylock Compact so that its mounting holes line up with the bottle holder threads on your bike frame.
3. Secure with Screws: Insert the provided screws through the mounting holes on the lock and thread them into the bike frame's bottle holder threads.
4. Tighten Securely: Use a suitable tool to tighten the screws. Ensure the lock is firmly attached and doesn't rattle.

Mounting with Reusable Straps:

1. Position the Lock: Decide where you want to place the SEATYLOCK Foldylock Compact on your bike frame.
2. Wrap the Straps: Wrap the reusable straps around both the lock and the frame, making sure they're snug.
3. Fasten the Straps: Securely fasten the straps, ensuring the lock is held firmly in place and won't move while you ride.
4. Double-Check: Give the lock a good check to ensure it's stable and won't interfere with your cycling. This includes ensuring that the lock doesn't affect your pedaling, or rub against other components.
