I would say not on the grounds that buying a bag for a particular bike that you, as you've said before, plan to sell anyway is redonkulas. A far better investment is that of Kriega, or the same design but cheaper, that can be transferred to any bike you buy.
Also a US-10, I believe SophR uses for the same purpose, is capable, again I read and am told, of transporting a 16mm 2.0m with I assume a little room left over.
US-10 = £65
Honda bag + strap = £76.50 (all in)
It is, of course, up to yourself.
A topic entirely different perhaps, but just to put the view out there, I wouldn't get into the habit, unless really needed.. a part cannot be sourced elsewhere for example, because you'll quickly be paying more than is needed, as a well reviewed and highly recommended, across the forum, piece of luggage proves. ____________________ The do it all, T̶h̶e̶ ̶b̶r̶o̶k̶e̶n̶ ̶o̶n̶e̶,̶ ̶T̶h̶e̶ ̶b̶i̶g̶ ̶l̶u̶m̶p̶,̶ ̶C̶h̶o̶n̶g̶ ̶N̶o̶o̶d̶l̶e̶ |

I bought a ground cement in style, 'same' as the Y anchor but 1/10 of the price, cost me £16 delivered and it's practically the same.
Installed this afternoon after picking my bike up this morning!

Same with any chain, but this way the only option is to cut the chain, not an easy task...
Also have the Oxford alarmed disc lock, oh and my back yard gate has no way of being opened from the outside (without smashing the gate down)
Probably as secure as i could get it, without having a garage or room to bring it inside the house. ____________________ Adam_89

That's debatable.

From the inside then, there is no obstacle that pikeys won't climb.

Incorrect, you could have purchased a chain from a more reputable company. ____________________ The above post is most likely nonsensical.

I think it's quite clear we have someone that's unwilling, in the face of despite evidence, to accept that the chain that he's invested in really isn't up to the job it's supposed to be designed for.
If you're genuinely happy with using that to take your bike out and about despite being given all the advice to the contrary, video and written, then don't baw if, and when, your bike gets stolen. It's not a nice idea to contemplate but here's the advice and pre-warning against an attack, hopefully, long before it occurs.
Pragmasis don't recommend getting anything other than a 13mm to carry around. Perfectly portable, perfectly light and cheap as chips.
Since I read, I've always believed in, the whole "what's the point in securing a bike worth xxx.xx with a chain that costs xx.xx."
We've all been innocent, perhaps some have not, but you've got the advice, just take it.
I use an Oxford disc lock but accept doing so on the grounds that if they've then got through all other forms of anti-theft devices by then and it's the only thing that remains in their way then all I've done by not using a better one is reduce the overall loss of funds once I realise what's happened. So yeah, beef up the security where needed. ____________________ The do it all, T̶h̶e̶ ̶b̶r̶o̶k̶e̶n̶ ̶o̶n̶e̶,̶ ̶T̶h̶e̶ ̶b̶i̶g̶ ̶l̶u̶m̶p̶,̶ ̶C̶h̶o̶n̶g̶ ̶N̶o̶o̶d̶l̶e̶ |

Question, looks like loose soil, will you be able to lift the whole lot out of the ground? Or is it something more solid the cement is bonding to underneath? ____________________ A por ellos, que son pocos y cobardes. |
