Alarm or Not to Alarm!!

looking to buy a a mew bike and wondered what people thought about alarms,

i had a meta alarm on my old bike and the new one doesn't have one.

Is it worth getting a Datatool System 4 fitted for £300 or just get something that makes a noise, solo alarm etc.

Thanks

I'd go for an alarm, but I'm not convinced that the datatool is worth the money. I've got a datatool 3 on my bike and don't like it as much as the spyball on my previous bike.

just spend the money on a big ****-off chain + padlock,much btr ,alarms are bollox

Disagree. Check this thread:

They had three bikes stolen. The thieving scum left two others with alarms.

I'm also certain that if I'd had an alarm/immobiliser on my SV it wouldn't have been nicked by joyriders. Now I have an alarm, big padlock & chain and ground anchor.

definatly going to get an alarm after one of my old bikes was stolen and that was locked up etc.

just don't know whether to spend loads on good alarm or get a cheap one that just makes a noise

If you get a chain, get an almax one.

Or a dirt cheap one by anyone else. There's no effective difference between a £10 Oxford 10mm chain and a £150 one, they're both useless when attacked with decent croppers. There's just 2 chains on the market that aren't croppable- the Almax that Thor mentioned, and the new English Chain Co one. ANythign else, you might as well use the cheapest one you can find IMO.

Alarms though... Definately don't get an immobliser only, waste of money. If yoyu get an alarm that'll repay your excess in the event of a theft, that's a much better option I reckon.

get an alarm mate ...


you can get a data tool system 3 alarm on ebay for £140 ....
