Hi guys,

Bought one of these last week

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/UK-Keyless-Bicycl ... 7C294%3A30

It runs off a 9 volt battery and cost me a tenner including delivery. You can change the sensitivity and the Disarming code. I made an offer of £5.00 and it was accepted.

I bought it mainly for camping as I leave my bike unlocked of a night at the side of the tent.

You could attach it to a lawnmower or the back of the shed door. Works as advertised. A good buy in my opinion!

    Sounds good, and for that price cant go wrong.

    But say you put it on your bike in a bike shed by work/college/school, and someone when putting their bike in accidentily knocks yours..
  • and if they're lucky enough to get the code? There's only so many codes that they have at least A chance ?

    Correct me if im wrong but if its a 4 character code with 3 possibles, wont there be 36 different codes? 1/36 chance is fairly slim. Does the alarm sound if you get the wrong code?

    According to the instructions if you input the wrong code more than 4 times the keypad locks for 3 minutes. I'll give it a try tomorrow.

    Why didn't I see that? I was feeling well chuffed with myself. I looked on deal extreme site as well :roll: .
