Need an anti scrote device.

[Jonathan A]

There is strong evidence (which for reasons of common sense I won't describe on a public forum) that someone has tried to steal my bike

This probably means that it is time to get an Almax set up. Is Almax really the best brand? or are there others? I did have a look a an Oxford nemesis at my local shop, but it was priced a bit steep.

Any ideas would be appreciated

How did they try and do it?

Well it was priced about the same about Almax, but aren't people generally iffy about Oxford?

Almax or Pragmasis, have a look on ebay and google to see if you can find any second hand ones on here or other forums.

Better than nout

For reasons of common sense, you should post everything on this public forum.

Almax or Pragmasis are approximately eleventy billion times better than whatever overpriced Oxford chain you've seen.

Sufficient is relative. I'd expect a ground anchor to be more secure but that doesn't mean it's going to make your bike unstealable.

I'd say go for the ground anchor if you can. A good chain and ground anchor is an investment that you'll be able to use with your future bikes and the cost of the ground anchor is probably less than what you'd end up paying in increased insurance prices if your bike was nicked.

2 or 3 people pick up the front of the bike = in the van in 5 minutes...

That's a glorified ground anchor and locking just a wheel to a ground anchor isn't a good idea.

It doesn't even look like it's anchored. I see no sign of bolts into the ground.

Which would be pointless as it'll be into blocks, not a good 4 inches of concrete.

I have a Series 4 Almax. Weighs a fuckton. I feel it's sufficient. And it's something you'll have for the length of your biking life (as long as it doesn't get nicked with the bike) so for the £200 for it, to then not have to pay again ever; makes it not seem so bad.

I like the look of that gorilla lock but don't think a nice bike would last long parked in front of a house with just that on. They would be great around town though, pull up in a bike bay slot £1 in and away you go, like a swimming baths locker, save taking a chain to town/work

I'll probably be ordering an Almax and lock tomorrow then…Just one thing…if its so huge, how will I get to through the frame on my bike? I can only just find a bit big enough to get my Oxford cheese chain through
