Which Almax chain and what length

[Az]

My bikes going outside, as a result I want an Almax chain.

I aim to wrap the chain through the hole in my swingarm & round a land post or railing.

The chain will stay put and & not be transported anywhere.

So... Almax 3 or 4 & what length do you think is best?

[TheSmiler]

Longest = heavier.

If you want it to go through swing arm and lamp post/railing you are best with the 2.5m series 4 it might be over kill but if it isn't being moved you don't need to worry about transporting it. I've got the 1.5m and it will just about go through two bike wheels. With a gap between them to stand.

My 16mm 2m Almax (IV I think...?) has been ideal. Goes through the gap in the ST4 to the Defiant anchor or a pole easy enough. 16mm means it'll go in my Givi tail pack easily but it does have to be braced well or it slips forward and pushes me into the tank... 😵

I'd go Pragmassis, on the basis that an Almax shill spammed BCF.

Never forget, never forgive.

I went for the IV 2m 18mm chain with Squire lock. I kinda wish I went a little longer as it goes through a ground anchor and just around my back wheel. Can't get it around the frame due to the fairing. Would be worth measuring your bike in-situ to see how long you need it

Measure with some rope and add 20cm (or whatever) in compensation for the width of a chain.

[nitrosurf]

Hmmm, I wasn't aware of that Mr Borg. Maybe there is some remorse on their end; I told them I was a BCF member and they did a free postage deal. 😋

I just got myself a 2.5m IV, I figured I can always wrap an extra loop around a post or wheel, but I can't stretch an extra 50cm if I need it.

I don't need to lug it anywhere mind, I'd have gone for a lighter chain if I did.

Thing is, what would you rather.

2 minutes of packing chain, even locking inside of building...

Or getting the bus

I lock my chains in the car when I go to work, because no one likes shitty peugeots. But yeah, its your call

Wouldn't acetone work to dissolve the glue if they decided to do that?

To conclude...

Paddy made some insightful comments in good faith, in reality I'm too lazy to implement the actions needed to prevent such things happening.

So back on topic...

What length chain & which chain should I get lol?

[c_dug]

You're literally riding around with a tank full of superglue dissolver (petrol), the glue lock thing is a non-issue.
