Chinese bicycle lock

Congrats on finally getting it apart, and thanks for posting that breakdown. That's interesting to see the insides of it.

I used a small diamond pick first for raking than when I got some "give" I picked each pin individually with a feeler (half curved pick)

You need a really LIGHT tension on ...

my first attempts were not really successful till I understand how to deal with it ... the plug turns around 10 ° then a little bit more and so on depending which pins are set

juts as other HS locks ... practice and practice

Thanks guys.

I managed to pick it just now.
I took all but one pin out and I couldn't even pick THAT for like 20 minutes.
I realized my tension wrench wasn't producing rotational force because the keyway is all odd and I hadn't thought about it.
So I fixed that.
Then I just kept adding pins and picking.
Finally I picked all 5!

Thanks for that tip Jimmie, it did require some very light tension.

I ended up using just a small hook pick.
I had to insert it sideways and then rotate it to actually touch the pins.
It was pretty annoying but I'm glad I finally picked a little high security lock.
