I'm looking at security for my bike, its an absolute minefield, mcn has a list that dates to 2009, looking for decent chain and lock, garage only and disc lock.

Are Almax still considered the best? What about disk lock?

Don't mind spending a fair wedge on security as long as its good.

What you recommend!

Almax or Pragmasis chain. Motrax vishas are the disc locks I use.

I have an Almax Immobiliser IV with squire SS65 and Hardie Ground Anchor. If they want the bike they'll need to take the house as well.

You could secure an ocean liner with it. The only trouble is it isn't that portable but if you only want it for home then it's a heavy duty bit of kit.

The links are quite thick however so make sure you can get it around something sturdy on the bike that can't easily be removed.

This.

Most bikes have no way of securing the frame, chain goes just through rear wheel. so a 27mm spanner and your bike is gone. spare wheels are cheap. Though Ive never seen a lone motorbike wheel chained up anywhere.

Get an almax chain and squire lock. I use the lock as a disk lock when im out and about, though it goes through the 'spokes' of the disk rather than the holes in the disk.

Does anyone use a pinch pin?

How is this biking news, anyway? OP won't get many views in this backwater.

I have one, it is a pretty good bit of kit. I still use another chain through the back wheel and exhaust bracket, just to be sure. Shocked

So it means you can go through the frame when otherwise you couldn't?

Make sure you also invest in a ground anchor to go with your +£100 chain otherwise you will lose that too.

Dont ask why I know Sad

You could always get your garage professionally alarmed. The alarm saved my bikes, whereas had they got into a garage which wasn't alarmed and closed the door, they could of spent hours getting around locks, chains etc if they wanted to. The alarm is set to go off instantly there is a break in the door contact or the PIR's are triggered, and the control panel is in the house, hidden away. Cost a bit to have done, but less than it would cost to have a bike alarm fitted, chains, anchors etc. Of course, I use those also Smile
