The lock on my chain is on the verge of giving up on me. Its working that well even am struggling to get the thing off. Even with half a can of WD40! Can anyone recommend a good chain as i have only had this one about 8 months. I was looking about and found this one can you tell me if its any good?

many thanks Very Happy

Take it back anyway, be nice and you may be surprised.
If you paid by plastic you should have the credit card statement, that's proof of purchase.

i have an oxford monster disc lock on the front disc and the oxford monster chain on the front wheel (might be dumb to have 2 chains on 1 wheel but i prefer to have it this way as i cane put them any other way because of the huuuge shite bike exhaust/no big pipe at the other end of the bike Laughing
have a nice big iron lock on the gate aswell so that should detur anyone, will get a big metal shed with ground anchors and all that (complete upgrade in security when i get a big expensive bike)
