Ground Anchors & Chain

[Dave20046]

Just had a look at the almax webby. If you're going to spend all that money on an unbreakable chain you may aswell get the best lock. Get the squire not the cisa. The deals look no good unless you were actually going to buy an anchor and that tailpack too (you'll need it with an almax chain). The subway anchor someone's already suggested looks good, especially if it's to be installed in a garage (would have to be or will fill with water) as it means there's no obstruction on the garage floor to drip over etc.

the subway thing wont fill with water as its got a drain hole from the bottom and your not meant to place the bottom onto anything but gravel to allow the water to get out!, mine is outside and hasnt filled yet!

Sorry I only glanced at it, quite right.

My Almax chain came with a very, very solid CISA lock.

The 0.7m chains are actually designed for bicycles not motorbikes, they are indeed too short to really do much - I think even to fit it round a wheel and ground anchor next to each other would be a push. They stopped doing the 1m so your only choice is the 1.5m tbh.

Have you had either of them? I've had both, and spoken to Maxine about these too - the CISA is for all intents and purposes as good as the Squire - it's got at least as much cutting required to get through the padlock. This is both mine and Maxine's view...

I'll recommend Almax till the cows come home. Not only is the product the best bar none, if you call them they'll talk to you all day if needs be to get the right setup for your requirements.
