Hi all,

While it's in the garage I'm looking to secure my pride and joy with a hefty chain and ground anchor, and there's no shortage of options in terms of manufacturer to choose from. I want to go as big as possible to make it as hard to steal as I can, so my question is this

Who uses the thickest chain, and how do you route it through your bike?

Photos would be appreciated. If there's already a thread on this so would a link 😊

Cheers

I use an Abus disc lock and a chain or cable when i need to layer security. Mostly I'm trying to slow them dow enough to discourage.

Litelok X3 bike lock

seems to be the cable/lock of choice, with a bit of ingenuity you can probable thread it through a ring in the floor too...

Thanks, both.

Apologies, I could've worded my question better. I didn't say that my bike has the cross-spoke wheels and so putting a hefty chain through the wheel may not be an option.

What's the thickness of your chain, and where do you route it through the bike to secure it?

I know that if the scumbags want it they will eventually take it, but I want to make it as hard as possible.

There are a lot of chains out there that have a nylon webbing cover. That should be scratch your rims.

I live in Harlem in NYC. Lots of people in this area would like nothing more than to take the bike. During the winter, the bike lives indoors. During the summer I park it in the front stoop and chain it to the window guards. The paint job on many R9T models invites undesirable folks, so I make sure to cover to draw less attention.

I use a Vevor chain, 3/5 inch by 5.58 feet that I route through the side frame (not the wheels) to lock the bike to the building's window guards using an Oxford Boss alarm disk lock.

In my opinion, one of the best independent reviews of motorcycle security products in the UK is John Milbank from BikeSocial. If you haven't seen any of his reviews the link below is a good starting point and also check out his YouTube reviews.

The reviews are independent and unbiased, he attacks the locks with everything from lump hammers to angle grinders.

Expensive but Pragmasis are probably the best and you could use their pinch bolt through the rear hub to save trying to feed a chain through the wheel - Security Chains from SecurityForBikes, by Pragmasis

Would then add a Litelok X1 or X3 shackle lock which are angle grinder resistant - LITELOK X1 - Armoured D-Lock For Bikes & eBikes

This is exactly the way I'm leaning. Thanks Paul

It seems loopng the frame is the way to go.

 

[gene_apodaca]

I wonder if this is readily available. Has anyone tried it for theirs?
