abus combiflex

[nicholas]

Last week went on a club ride out and on the first coffee stop decided to lock bike up outside cafe and thought I would use my abus combiflex lock now I know there not that great but could keep my eye on bike from inside the only problem is as I don't use locks that much I have forgotten how to use it and I can't find packaging anywhere at Home. Have tried to find info online but no look also contacted abus also no look there wondered if anyone had any info that could help me many thanks

You hold the button down whilst setting the combination, then it clicks into place.

There's an instructional YouTube video out there

Yea have seem the video still no look just not getting it

I had one which decided to stop working even following the instructions - somehow it had reprogrammed itself while being kept in my saddle bag

I ended up returning it for a refund and got one one these - much better and less temperamental! (and half the price)

This should confuse you further

What can't you do? Do you remember the combination? If not, I can't help you. Mine doesn't seem to want to reset unless it's already in correct combination. But I can do lock/unlock.

edit: looks like you can't change the code if you can't remember it ...

How did you get the bike unlocked if you couldn't operate the lock? Is it still attached to a shop?

And is it somewhere I can get to with my bolt croppers before you or @dee.jay do?

How do you find it as a quick nip into the shop lock.

I always use a proper d lock to be honest if bike out of sight
