[Closed] What big bike chain and lock??

Have a look at pragmasis

I bought [url= http://securityforbikes.com/products.php?cat=High+Security+Chain+and+Lock+deals ]this[/url] a few weeks ago and its an absolute monster.

Or [url= http://www.almax-security-chains.co.uk/product.asp?strPageHistory=category&numSearchStartRecord=0&strParents=70&CAT_ID=70&P_ID=129&btnProduct=More+Details ]this[/url] from Almax

I have a 16mm chain from pragmasis and its almost too big and heavy. If I bought it again I would go for a 13mm chain as its about half the weight (and it's still sold secure gold for bikes).

Having said that, our garage got broken into a while ago and I believe it saved my bikes (there had been lots of targeted bike thefts locally - with just the high value bikes nicked and the cheap ones left). In my case the high value bikes were locked up with the 16mm chain to a ground anchor and nothing got nicked.

Too big and too heavy for what? My 19mm pragmasis chain is manageable.

Ive got an Almax Immobiliser Series IV Uber + Squire SS65CS Lock its a beast. I used it for the motor bike but dont use it anymore as sold it and keep cycles indoor. Its very good. Must remember to sell it lol

I have several Almax series IV, the 2.0m one is heavy beyond words... that said, the 1.5m isn't much lighter.

Almax chain is very good, used with a ground anchor for my motorbike in the garage

Use something more basic for my bike, but its in a locked and alarmed garage

Gary M - I just mean that I think I'd find a lighter chain easier to thread round multiple bikes. I find the 16mm chain quite big and cumbersome (I probably just need to man up!).

The 19mm chain must be huge!

Just looking at the weights:

19mm: 6.3kg / m
16mm: 4.5 kg / m
13mm: 2.9kg / m

have a look at the masterlock python, really good brand and a great lightweight cable lock.

Think chain for ships anchor and you'd be close 🙂

I wouldn't call whats in the link above a high security locking device!

firestarter let me know when you're selling, I may be looking for another.

I'll check length of it probably tomorrow when i get chance and let you know where in uk are you as it would be a few quid to post lol

I think it depends if you just want to tick boxes for insurance or keep your bikes.

I'm fortunate I can keep mine on the house, I have a Fahgeddaboutit used Sheldon style plus 12mm cable for wind proofing on the bike staple at work though. Don't think I'd consider these a safe solution in a garage full of tools overnight though.

I'm in Ayrshire, let me know the size. I think I need a 2m one. Hermes postage is just under £12 for 10-15kg with £100 insurance.

Ok pretty sure its 1m or 1.5m but I'll let you know

cheers, email in profile.

If you do get a pragmasis, I can recommend the 'noose' option. It really frees up a lot of chain.

Gary mines a 1m one mate

Cheers, I've emailed you back.
