I found a house in Erdington with a garage but people I spoke to confirmed it was a chavy area and my impression of it was that it was super boring so I found a house in Edgebaston an area which I really really like with no garage but I can wheel it into the garden and put it into this shed kind of thing which has a brick wall which I hope to put the ground anchor on.
I will find the max size chain that can fit around the swing arm for use at home
When I am out and about I cannot bring a 22mm chain (if that is the max that can fit hopefully) obviously- what is the max carriable chain?
Someone said 19mm was simply too heavy as well. I wan't to get a tail pack and put this carriable chain around.
What lengths for both home chain and carriable chain?

Is the above ok?

To be honest, in my view.. and in the interest of saving money (getting it right first time), I'd call the 22mm redundant unless you're openly willing to tackle a group of chavs, or 12 year old kids as I've recently discovered, with a weapon upon discovering their attempting to cut through your chain. The 22mm didn't exist on the market for a long time and forever people have been happy with a 19mm, which.. to keep in mind, is able to be cut with a angle grinder (gets bummed for being wrong) so if you want the best at home then 19mm and 16mm or 13mm while out and about.
If you want a two in one then 16mm cannot be hand cropped but, as with a 19mm, can be cut with angle grinder. All you're buying, to me, as you go up in mm is more time against the one below it to get cut through. A 16mm is likley to give you a bonner the moment you see it compared to Oxford or whatever you've seen in store before.
The two limiting factors are what size you can get through the swingarm and what weight you can carry, comfortably.. without upsetting balance, on your bike and also, a third one, how much length you require for where you park. If you need any more than 2.0mm and you're going to get a 16mm I'd say get either a noose or go down to a 13mm.
In truth you ride a 125 and a 13mm is going to be better than what most youngsters with a 125 will be locking up their bike with. In all my time on a motorbike the only person I've seen come close to my level of faffery is perhaps 1-2 minutes getting an alarmed disc lock to set in an underground car park and then walked away afterwards. The advice given on here is generally above what most, as I understand.. outside of London, lock theirs up with.
You could always fire an email of to Pragmasis, if you're in no rush, with the size gap between the top inside of the swingarm and the bottom inside and ask what they recommend, as well as including your bike model. They offered me advice when I sent them a picture of my setup, at their request, and so customer service really is top in my experience with Pragmasis.
16mm 2.0m weighs, with padlock, just under 10kg. I'd most likely go 13mm and not give a balls. Plus, as I have, if you ever end up with a broken tailbag or alike, and can be transformed into a backpack, you're far better of getting home with a 13mm than a 16mm. You need to ensure the bag is secure and have escape options available. Then again a bag that's designed to carry 5kg probably shouldn't support 13-15kg daily, oops. ____________________ The do it all, T̶h̶e̶ ̶b̶r̶o̶k̶e̶n̶ ̶o̶n̶e̶,̶ ̶T̶h̶e̶ ̶b̶i̶g̶ ̶l̶u̶m̶p̶,̶ ̶C̶h̶o̶n̶g̶ ̶N̶o̶o̶d̶l̶e̶ |

Y anchor is just not feasible. Don't have the know how to install and not my house.
Double Doofer is better I agree- only 19mm though- I'll just get 19 and 16 almax then.
Thanks to all

If you get this stuff, it's even easier than making a cake. Dig a hole, empty bag in, bung water in and stir with stick. Put Y anchor in quickly as it sets really quickly.

Plant a bush or something near it, if you need to hide it. Azaleas are evergreen, don't need to do anything with them and they look nice late spring.
Edit - make sure anchor is level with grass and you can hide it easily when you move out! |

Postcrete doesn't set nearly as hard as properly mixed concrete. But it does make the task it is meant for much faster,
I'll give it that much. ____________________ Currently enjoying products from Ford, Mazda and Yamaha
