I have two Oxford Omega's on the wheels, and a fat Oxford chain (i cant remember the exact model) But its big and heavy (cost me £120 last year) Only problem is.. i've had some minor damage to my bike, since the theifing little sh**s cant gets the locks off, they usually end up snipping my bike chain in anger. tw*ts.

How heavy duty? I'm not trying to flog you an Almax, iy just seems that you have made the effort to secure your bike properly, it would be a shame to be let down by it. for what it's worth, the only disc lock that I have any respect for at all is the Motrax Vishas, all the other lock type disc locks are easily croppable. You've made alot more effort than many.

Oh yeah its not going to stop ALL attackers, but it's more likley to put off the chancers who just so happen to be walking down your street with some bolt snippers. Unfortunatly, for those of us who have saught after bikes, you find people usually go out of their way to steal it. What i've done is two disk locks on each side of the break pads (So the wheel dosnt move at all) a heavy duty chain around the front wheel and the bike frame, and thru a floor anchor.

That's generally good practice to avoid hammer attacks but sadly it won't make cropping any harder unless it's over 2ft from the floor. Since making the Almax vid, I have changed my style to 'off the floor' and it's much easier. Only way to make sure your chain isn't cropped is to get a chain that CAN'T be cropped. Good advice though, thanks.

When you lock your bike especially with a chain, make sure the chain is as high off the ground as possable, so the dirty chavs cant use the ground+body weight to leverage the bolt croppers.

Thanks I'll go shopping!

Yes, Almax make the best chains going for motorcycles. Combine an Almax with a decent ground anchor and a good locking technique and you're done pretty much all you can do without laying claymores. I have Almaxes on all my bikes and I sleep well knowing that there literally isn't any more I can do, chain wise, to look after my bike. Ok, maybe I could alarm it but there are ways of killing alarms.
