American equivalent to Almax Chain?
looking for just that. If you dont already know about the almax series 3 chain it is one of the best 16mm chains available for bike security, being non cropable. The chain costs a ton to be shipped from the UK, they gota have something like this in the US of same quality.
anyone know? |

It's a security chain, right, for locking the bike?

I've never seen anything particularly noteworthy on that front. When I lived on the boat and parked the HD in the lot, I had a giant anchor chain wrapped around a piling with a Kryptonite bike lock. It survived two theft attempts before I got a storage unit. But, it was not portable. I've got a cable lock I carry on road trips, but it could be cut with the right tool.

It doesn't matter what kind of cable/chain you use.
If they REALLY want the bike, they'll get it. However, tying a bike down does makes your bike a bit harder to steal than the unlocked one next to it.

Interesting...the UK has a ****load of m/c lock setups, but the US market is pretty slim. However, after exhaustive reasearch, (I pinged the folkers at Knee Draggers) I have found what is clearly the best bike lock available without a prescription:
Abus Granit City X-Plus 1060 Chain Lock - KneeDraggers.com It looks every similar in configuration to the Almax M4. Too big for cutters, hardened against saws, helpless against a hot chick with a big tank of Freon strapped on her back.

Nothing will stop a pick-up truck and four burly rip-off types from just picking your bike up and throwing it in the back.
A pad-eye type locking device bolted to the ground might slow them down, but if you're not around, and you bike is all alone, it's history. I've found that riding an '82 KZ750 is the best bike theft prevention. Even leaving the keys in it produces no results.
