I commute into the city where I'd normally park up got off the bike and noticed the complete lack of security chains normally on the railings I attach it to , the council periodically angle grinds them off,


Thus I am now without a security chain , previously it was to ward off opportunist theives and parking attendants moving it.

however since this chain will be used to lock possibly a bigger bike like a firestorm or a fazer in a couple months I think I may need something beefier.

any suggestions?

Sold secure etc is obviously welcome!

Thanks

Save yourself some money and buy a £20 chain, a £60 one will be no better at protecting your bike, for that price it's only a deterrant.

Oh and something was done recently that proved things like sold secure are useless.

If you're referring to the YouTube viode of the Almax chains, versus the rest, it didn't prove that Sold Secure are useless..

Almax chains are Sold Secure, as are many others, but Almax proved that being SoldSecure didn't prevent the chains being uncroppable.

Almax are the only chain manufacturer to Guarantee their chains are uncroppable my manual means.

Datatool python padlock and chain, the big one. (newer versions seem to be bit thinner).

Its bloody heavy and a massive chain, works well as a deturrent.
