In reality I only carried the chain in on Monday and out on Friday but fair point made.
I looked at the New York noose/lock as a lighter alternative to what I had but couldn’t find any information on the shackle dimensions. I’m assuming here the idea is that you run the chain around a fixed object such as a lamp post and then through the loop and back to the motorcycle locking it to a part of the motorcycle frame. Is that how it works?
So the padlock would need to be something between a conventional padlock and a U lock. That is a noose chain wouldn’t work with the Squire SS50/65CS padlocks because the shackle barely fits around a single link of 14/16 mm chain.
