OK, so I’ve heard all the horror stories about standard 12mm motorbike security chains getting mullered by 42" bolt croppers in 10 seconds flat and so at home I have a dirty great big 16mm chain and ground anchor.
At work it’s not too bad because I park in a gated car park directly in front of the security hut (and by the back door of the police station) so I think the disc lock and alarm/immobiliser is enough.
Trouble is that when I pop into town, I don’t really want to be lugging a 10kg chain around with me but I’d like to be able to chain the bike to a lampost or something.
Does anyone have any experience of smaller diameter chains (preferably not just experience of them being crap :P). I’ve seen a lock somewhere that has a sort of lasoo design on the chain, which would mean a shorter chain can be used to reach the nearest locking point (keeping the weight down) anyone used them?
A 2.5m chain probably only gets you about a meter from the nearest immovable obect once you’ve gone through the wheel & around the lampost - seems like that’s about as near as I’d likely get unless there was specific bike security rail
Does anyone carry one about? When I brought my 16mm squire chain home, I had to box it up and bungee strap it to the pillion seat. Don’t think I could be doing that every time I went out.
get a jack russell and keep it in the tank bag (baglux do a dog specific one) once the jack has been in the bag a few times he’ll ‘OWN’ the bag and whatever it’s connected to…so good luck to any thief getting near the ignition let alone yourself on your return :Whistling:
