So I buy an Oxford security chain...

[roo12]

it costs £30 to add to my insurance policy, and will not decrease
my premium at all?!

Personally unless it is listed I don't bother telling insurance companies that it is being used, as they don't need to know.

That's what they call an "Administrative Fee". I call it a scam.

By the time they've taken the phone call and checked what adding the note to your policy costs, they're virtually ready to add the changes. They want £30 to hit that stupid enter key.

Personally, if you can afford it insurance wise, don't declare any security. Ever. Likewise with telling insurance you keep it on the street when you really keep it in a garage. That way that one time you forget to put the bike away or the one time you forget to put your chain on and it gets stolen, you've got nothing to worry about.

yeah, I wish I hadn't bothered telling them now!

It just seems strange that something which can deter theft and lessens the chances of your bike being stolen, doesn't have any positive affect on your policy.

I tried to tell my insurance policy that I had a chain and they said they require me to have as standard anyway.

Maybe because they know it's an Oxford chain, thus easier to get through than a hot knife through butter

That's why I use ebike. No administration fees when making changes

I bought an almax, dwarfs any other chain I've ever seen and genuinely unbreakable, worth the expense for the peace of mind.

Non hand crop able, breakable in 2 mins there or there abouts.

The Almax vids show large chains being cropped, the making of the chain is whee the strength truly lies not the thickness per say.

Afaik, Almax whilst still only a mins or 2 .. Take more grinding than the cheesy ones

never been impressed with oxford gear . i remember a while back they did those promotional lil handy tool kits . even those looked shit . the only reason i would buy anything by that brand is if it is made in england by english people i can sacrifice the extra cash for less quality if that is the case . but for all i know there stuff is made in china and shipped over .

My present form of transports chain would beat Almax. You might have trouble carrying it though
