jnr_zx6r Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Did you mean a bike chain or secure chain??Heres a secure chain that i am getting once my bike comes out of hiding http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ...

Ingah Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 A security system is only as strong as it's weakest link.Watch these 2 videos to help decide how strong you want your chain to be: Unsurprisingly, i use the Almax chains (not afflicated with the company, am just a consumer) and would not have a chain with under 16mm links as they are vulnerable. Way i look at things if someone's going to try my chain i want NOISE!However, if you are not going to lock the chain through the frame of your CG, and then through an immovable object (i.e. something like a lamp post), every time you park, then you may as well go with a cheap, bolt-croppable chain because your bike is likely to simply be lifted into a van on the time you don't bother (statistically most bikes are stolen with vans). Or put on a couple of skateboards and carted off by the local pond scum kidz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingah Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 Thanks guys apparently buyin oxford lowers insurance too because they are recognised by insurers is Almax recognised do you know?? It comes up even in the online list for most companies and on Almax's website it says Thatcham approved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KSmith Posted December 28, 2009 Author Share Posted December 28, 2009 haha, thats all i need really just so no one goes near it when its parked outside my school for the day, problem is theres nowhere to chain it to so i think it will just be chain through wheel and forks jobbie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnr_zx6r Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 I was thinking of just putting the chain through the wheel etc but then i heard stories of bikes being stolen with 2 skate boards, so i am now putting a metal hook eye in the ground to chain too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
