Bike Security - Anchor? Chain? Bike Tracker? - Page 2 - SV650.org

Get a 1.5 meter almax chain, series 3 or 4, and get a ground anchor installed. You can pass the chain through the front downpipe AND the front wheel and through the ground anchor at the same time. A theif will need a fair amout of time and will probably make a right racket if they want to steal it then.

By all means have another ground anchor for the rear too. The important thing about having a chain is that it dosnt slump on the ground when in use; it is important to have it as tight as possible, to reduce the likleyhood that a theif has some point where it can be against the ground when they strike it with some objec to break it

I've ordered two Oxford AnchorForce's, i do like the look of the Y Anchor except you have to dig up the ground..

I'm going to have a think, but I'm definately ordering an Almax.

I have an Almax Seris 3, A torc anchors ground anchor all secured through the frame using a torc anchors anti-pinch pin.

I honestly think this is one of the most secure and practical/easy ways of doing it (just one lock)

I've just bought an Almax Series 3 plus a CISA padlock. 1.5m is just enough to lock two bikes to a welded steel fence. Add to that a disk lock on each bike and an electronic immobiliser.

That'll discourage the local yobbos from taking them for a joyride, and my bikes aren't expensive enough to interest professional thieves.

I'm thinking of buying the Almax IV 1.5metre chain with squire paddlock, I would quite like the free bag too but I don't want the anchor, lol.

You'd need an angle grinder, a big ammer and some croppers for that
