I use a Pragmasis Chain, Squire SS65CS padlock and at home a Torc ground anchor. I wanted piece of mind of the bike secured to something solid. Ground anchor at home and railings at work. I got the impression that the Almax chains are about on par with the Pragmasis.
Chain wise, I was advised to go at least 16mm links, as these don't fit in the standard 42" bolt cutters most thieving gits carry. I didn't go 19mm, mainly due to weight of carrying the chain to work. This vid (by Almax) cemented that notion:-
Non-Almax security chains for bikes vs Bolt Croppers
Interesting talk of padlocks, as I had been under the impression the Squire lock was pretty good, but it's key is just a single sided affair. So you reckon this would be an easy one to pick?
Anyway, here's my write up on my blog. Motorcycle security chain and anchor.
