London_Rider Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Hi all, I've owned the Oxford Boss Disc Alarm lock with the 'free' hex chain for about 7 years now. The problem I have is that the protective sleeve for the chain is now shedding its fabric all over the place and leaves a trail of mess wherever I use it. I've been trying to find a replacement sleeve online but no luck yet. Has anyone else had this issue and were you able to track down a replacement sleeve? Thanks in advance!

Just Google 'Motorcycle chain sleeve'. Plenty of them available. eg https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/264977894265?mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&campid=5338624526&toolid=10001&customid=0492a79881f84173ffac7e5a8a4b77a8 Edited October 31, 2021 by Mississippi Bullfrog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London_Rider Posted October 31, 2021 Author Share Posted October 31, 2021 Thanks for this. So I'm assuming the size is universal then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manxie49 Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 I used an old inner tube cut in half, cable tie at each end, but that's because I'm cheap! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dynax Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Make one, use some heavy duty material or even from the leg of an old pair of jeans, no point paying for something that can be knocked up in a few minutes on a sewing machine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously it didn't fit my chain (it was too narrow / tight). Had to return it and pay return postage so that cost me £4. I have searched high and wide and there don't appear to be any replacement sleeves available online. I also spent a while talking to the bloke at Infinity this morning who told me he's never seen them being sold as spare parts. So now I'm actually going to buy a cheap new chain for £30, just so I can use the sleeve. Absolutely ridiculous. I don't have a sewing machine.
