Ring lock: the lock in your frame. This text is that shackle through the rear fork — not chains.
Message about this ring lockShackle through the rear fork
A ring lock is fixed in the rear frame. The shackle goes through the fork or the wheel, the cylinder sits by the seatpost or in a housing on the stay. You never ride without it; you cannot leave it in the bag. That is why it is the Dutch default.
AXA is a brand, ring lock is the type
AXA is the brand you see most; that has its own page. Here it is the type: ring lock. Trelock and original Gazelle ring locks sit here too. Same place, other cylinder.
Fitted crooked, the hub drags
Fit is the lock. Crooked is a hub that drags or a rim that rubs. We put bolts in the frame you have, not in a universal hole that ‘sort of fits’.
In the centre it is half the job
In the centre a ring lock is half the job. It holds the wheel, not the bike to the city. Combine with chain or U-lock. Ring lock only on Nieuwmarkt is asking for a front wheel or a bare rack.
Seized or key lost
Rust-seized, key snapped, cylinder spun: we open or cut that. Then a new ring lock in the same holes. Photo on WhatsApp.
