A Security chain equal to Almax for $40?!?!!!!
It is widely known that the Almax Immobilizer series 3 + 4 are the best security chains out there. They cannot be bolt cropped, one of the reasons being is that it is an extremely high quality chain in 16mm diameter. The problem is that they are only made in Europe and are really expensive.
and then I came across this post from this page:
http://www.webbikeworld.com/r2/motor...re-lock-chain/
From "K": "Go to (Starr Products) and get some of their Peerless, 16mm, grade 100 chain. (about $8 USD per foot). With the money that you save on the chain go and purchase a good ABUS lock. You will have as good a chain lock assembly as anything that you can purchase on the retail market and for a lot less money. And finally, for some good, inexpensive, sleeve material to put over the chain go to (Suburban Manufacturing - Diamondback Hose Sleeves) and check out their offerings. There is no way to stop a determined thief but you have to balance their investment in risk time, energy and equipment against your investment in security."
^
does anyone think this would work? It so simple and sounds like it would work as well as the Almax... Im about to do what that guy said and build my own chain. Think this is a good idea?

It seems to me that, you have to go for 16mm(5/8) or 19mm(3/4) chain. Anything less...is a waste of money! It can just be cut with 48" bolt cutters.
I've also been looking at the Abloy 362 lock... One of the best you can get.
However that lock and a Almax IV will run you about $500!
Its good security. I'll spend it, if I have too. It sure would be nice to find it cheaper!

mjrfd99,
These guys will cut to length any size chain you need....and make a fabric cover for it!
I emailed them. They said their cover will fit up to a 5/8" chain. 5/8" grade 100 is 9.70 a foot. The protective cover is $1.30 a foot.
They also have security chain, but its only 10mm and 13mm.
