dimmers Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 would just like to mention a web site i came across recently that i think is very good.a google search for 'torc-anchors' will take you to it.i'm just about to purchase a second chain/padlock and have found a very good deal here, so thought i would share for anyone else who hasn't come across them before.cheersedit: whilst searching for a new chain and padlock, i came across an interesting tip, and that was to buy a small padlock and lock it to the (drive) chain of your bike... anyone tries to ride of with it will be in for a surprise! Anyone else do this? I think its a good idea, but worry i'd forget it was on there one day. Quote
Guest Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 interesting idea! think I'd be worried about forgetting it too though lol Quote
Ingah Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 May be best to pop it near the sprocket on the lower (?) run of the chain so that damage is minimised (be careful with those fingers tho...). Maybe one of those £10 alarmed padlocks, so when you take it off the stand, it'll beep to warn you? (same reason i prefer alarmed disc locks)Might've been a useful tip for my CG125 (dual drums so can't use a disc lock), but its got a bloody full chain enclosure too - definitely not an easy bike to secure unless you want the faff of chaining it through the frame (pretty much the only physical security option for it!)

cypek Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 I wanted to buy a chain from them, one of those 16mm Protector but when I made an order they had none in stock so I went with Almax instead. Quote

Yep, i'm looking at the 16mm protector chain with the untouchable lock (2 metre length chain) for £109 Quote
cypek Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 Thats the one but I wanted 2.5m to lock 2 bikes but after I made an order they contacted me to tell me there were none in stock So I got Almax instead. Great piece of kit Quote

Guest Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 Interesting idea about locking the chain, I'm going to try that. Quote
