Bike Security - Anchor? Chain? Bike Tracker?

Very true! I'm not sure I'm going to attempt to destroy the chain, lol. the series IV is 19mm thick, thats something special!

I wonder if anyone independant has actually been able to afford to buy a chain to test their claims.

Do remember though the Almax is not really portable it's massive and heavy so also get a smaller chain, disc lock, cover etc always have a layered approach to bike security.

I'd definitely recommend getting a chain and lock over a disk lock, they're almost useless in the way that most bikes (round here anyway) are nicked by being chucked into the back of a van - they don't protect against that.

True but you should have one aswell as a chain and lock, but he will need a portable chain, and a disc lock is just 1 layer of a layered approach.

Lozzo's mate seems to have had hers tested a few times.

Definitely the more the merrier, I use a medium weight chain and a light cable lock when round down and use one at either end of the bike looped round an immovable object.

yeah I've heard loads of good testimonials about sheds been broken into but locks intact etc.

I go a little over kill at home, I have an Almax IV anchored through rear wheel, a 16mm Urban chain and lock through swing arm and rear wheel, qanother chain 13mm through front wheel, and xena disc lock alarm, a grip lock (which clamps the front brake on) a cover and a Galaxy car parked about 2cm's from the bike.
