Best Tailpack for Almax Chain

[Doomsnite]

Ive got the series 3 I want to transport. I tried put it in a rucksack on the back seat with a cargo net but when I tested the lean, it wasn't supported enough and wouldn't risk it not falling off on the road.

People recommend the Kriega 10 but any preferably cheaper alternatives? Ideally like to squeeze my work shoes and gym kit in it too.

You pay for Kriega Stuff, and rightly so! They are bloody great! I use my US10 as a gym bag since it can fit my trainers and jogger bottoms and base layer + shirt no problem.

When you ride through weather like we've had recently, you'll be thankful for the Kriega US series! Plus, you can stash it onto other Kriega bags to make the ideal touring solution! I've got the R20, R30, US10 and US20 and SWEAR by them!

I have a us20 for my almax but did look at this with some interest once.

Where are you planning on parking that needs your bike locked with an almax? I use one at home, but I've never considered carrying it about with me.

[Doomsnite]

Gym on ropey industrial estate, unlit, no CCTV. Few unsavoury characters. Pikeys even park up their horse and cart outside while they train (no joke). Work carpark is secure

Plus wouldnt want to risk the insurance not paying out if I didnt use it and it was nicked. Shouldnt have declared it.

Was eyeing up a metal fence which keeps people out of big electrical stations. Looks pretty sturdy. Any lampost would be out on the high street. There's another metal pole fence thing to stop people reversing into things but not sure how deep thats concreted in.

Would a second hand top box not be cheaper.

For me, if its local which it usually is in my case, I take the almax in a tail pack [its all that fits in it - just a small pack on the back seat]. Then chain it to any lampost or other unmoveable I can find near to where I want to park. Disc lock on the front. Alarm on. Done

I have a crappy 10mm oxford chain, but mostly, if I'm going anywhere dodgy, I take the car.

Its only a cheap one I use for lugging the chain as its a bit dodgy for waterproofing.

Got it years ago off ebay for my scooter, i'm not sure what brand it is - nearly identical to this though

My almax is a 1.5m and fits in along with the lock when its wrapped in tightly.

Mine's 1.5 too. Could be a an option but gym kit would have to bungee over the top in gym bag as not too heavy.

Might even work in your favour doing that as the gear on top and bungees around it should help keep the chain sat still

[Doomsnite]

Went and picked up a US20 in the end. Went to the shop and the 10 looked small, so forked out. Got it back and the chain sits easily in the back, along with the my gym kit and room for a bit more bits and bobs. Still not enough room for my laptop & lunch though - might need to get a 10 to go on top!

Stoopid question and all, but you've got a YBR?

They've got a luggage rack - why not wrap it round the luggage rack and lock it to itself to keep it secure?
