Not strictly CP related but I just bought two Hiplok Z LOK combination lock cable tie things as a way to get some basic protection for solo bikepacking resupply stops.
But then I’ve been reading online that many people have had issues with the combination seizing up leaving them unable to unlock their bikes. In a somewhat paradoxical sense, luckily they’re fairly easy to cut through with some scissors or a decent knife.
Safe to say I’ll be taking my opinel with me on a trip next week as i really don’t wanna be stuck in a petrol station in middle England questioning why I’ve just wasted money on these dumb things.
I used to carry a knog cable lock but it’s seized together on some dumpster bin in Bloomsbury now.
Perhaps i should just walk back the bike shop I bought them from and ask for a refund… sigh
