Not really any better chain than the Almaxes out there, but they're anchor hains, which is why I don't have one- if the bike lived outside I would though, a good long one for easier fitment. Not sure where'd be best to fit it, if it'll fit through the swingarm loop that'd be ideal but I'm not convinced it will. Just going round the swingarm and wheel is the next best if you can't get it through a frame loop, makes it a fair bit of effort to remove enough bits to get to it. And that's basically the order of the day, you can't make it nick-proof so instead you make it harder to nick than the next bike.
