hi everyone
just been pricing up some stuff for my bike (when i get it, hopefully next month) so i was in riders and saw a motrax chain and lock and was wondering if anyone has/had one and what you think of them, this ones about £50 and the chains gold and has a motrax sleeve over it and the locks like one of them new oxford designs (with the thin key that has only grooves at the end so you cant hardly pick the lock)
also i cant seem to find anywhere online or offline in my area that stocks oxford monster gold series 2m chains with the padlock (also think its ride mag recomended) can anyone tell me how much they are and mabe give me some ideas for better bike security/products if anyones feeling bored Mr. Green

thanks in advance to anyone that posts

I'll have a browse about and see whats available, but if your bike doesn't have an alarm, then get one because it's a deterrent to theifs and little brats from going near your bike!

These are the best in the business but come at a cost:-

Hello.

When it come's to security unless it's locked down to something firm it can easily be knicked wether it had 10 chain's on it,
Alarm's do help but if it's a serious thief they get around that.

I've said this before, and I'll say it again, when it comes to security, the best defence is one of these:
