Buy a squire 16mm ex-caliber which is the exact same chain (just cut the red ends off stopping you to use the long links to shorten the chain) and an abloy 362 off ebay and you've got a lot better set up for a lower price.
Seriously just received the chain and lock in the post and the chain looks crazy similar to my mates almax and neither lock will be broken except the abloy will go around thinner/bigger chains and be just as secure. Can't be pick either.
Chain is advertised as bolt cropper and hack saw resistant and is thatcham approved. Welds are very good too.
Just thought I'd post this as I'm so glad I went for this combo and not one a lot reccomened due to the almax 'chain test' video. Think they forgot to mention there was no chains the same diameter as theirs there

It's not much cheaper; most of the savings come down to how much cheaper you get the Abloy 362 vs the new Squire SS65CS that Almax sell you. Looks to be harder to get a good price on a "buy it now" Abloy than the incremental cost of the SS65CS off Almax.
I just ordered a replacement Almax 3 + squire lock this morning, and I'm not kicking myself just yet. ____________________ Bikes: S1000R, SH350; Exes: Vity 125, PS125, YBR125, ER6f, VFR800, Brutale 920, CB600F, SH300x4

If you are patient you should pick up Abloy 362 padlocks from ebay posted for between £35 and £45 each, I have four. Much better than the £160 odd quid each we paid for two at work.  |
