Just ordered another Almax chain and Squires padlock for my new bike. It’s the third time I’ve ordered of Almax.
Spoke to Alex again who enquired whether I actually needed the padlock since I already have one and one of their ground anchors.
Although he would be doing himself out of a sale, he doesn’t want anyone buying what they don’t really need.
He also gave me some excellent advice about using a baby monitor with your bike, just in case a would be thief isn’t put off by the chain (which cannot be bolt cropped) and tries to attack it with an angle grinder.
Fantastic service, and he even gave me a discount because I’m a London Bikers member.
no good having a good anchor if the chain through it can be cut like butter m8.how big is groundhog 6? i am in se london if you wanna see size of almax series III.the III is big, fvck knows wot the iv is like, lol
just measured my almax series IV. the link is 65mm wide but hopefuly the series III will be a thinner. also if your taking the chain with you on your travels its best to get a bigger anchor cos the one i have needs a bit of working through.
no consumer chain can beat a powered bolt-cropper-thingymajig but they will draw more attention of course
by hand it would take too long according to many tests
although strangely almax dont consistently appear in group chain tests, i wonder if thats to do with not pandering to journalists requests for free products etc…?
Thanks for the kind offer, 5150. I rang Alex again and he agrees now it will fit the Groundhog 6 so I have ordered a 2-metre Series III with Squire lock.
I have until 12pm tomorrow to decide whether to accept a free Kriega US10 tailpack, or get a small discount.
Would anyone here be interested in buying a Kriega US10 off me for, say, £20? About to check Ebay to see if this is worth selling there…
