thatchem approved padlocks

[lee8040]

do they reduce the insurance premium by much? looking to get a new chain but don't want to spend a huge amount for an almax. can anyone suggest a good chain and padlock?

Almax is worth it, how much is your excess? if it is more than £100 by the almax

[Flatbadger]

Do Almax have their own locks now? They had Squires before - the shop's been taken down on the site just now.

Thatcham approved doesn't mean secure. Also think of your no claims.

I bought an Oxford disc lock off the Thatcham list because Bikesure demanded I get one. So I got one, and told them... "Er, yeah, that makes no difference to your premium." Wonderful.

I wont bother telling them it wont make a difference I use to have a 110cc Suzuki scooter £200 for year and I got now is Peugeot elyseo 125 with built in immobilizer and told them I got a big strong chain and still same price

get a grip lock no fucker will nick it but still get disk lock incase they push it somewhere for taking parts off

I used a Thatcham approved Datatool Devil 1000 and it knocked off £3000 from an RAC quote I had.

Sometimes they come up for less than £100 on ebay. They are monsters.

Noticed yesterday in ride magazine they was doing bike lock tests. Alma's and another came put on top (something beginning with P). The P one had the same scores as Alamo but was £60 cheaper. May look at one of them.

Pragmasis maybe?

The two Squire locks I have had both have issues over the years. The ball bearing that keeps the lock in and out wears down and now pops out. I have to be careful when I unlock or it drops out... Got them with my almax.

Lol@RiDE. Almax and Pragmasis are within pennies for the same thickness x length (+ Squire lock).
