Can anyone suggest good ones?

I use Oxford on all of my stuff too, got a ground anchor too but never fitted. The same one saved my mates bike when the chavs tried to nick it!

I've always used Ming Tay lock with a sold secure wall anchor. I've also got a huge german shepherd with one hell of a bark/growl - I think it's the latter that keeps the bikes safe!
Check with your datatool stuff before buying it because mine only saved me £3.16 on my insurance and did nothing but bug the crap out of me all the time!

cool cheers, my prob is dont have garage so may have to put it on street or i hope to chain it in the "garden", for garden read bit of concrete that the bins normally sit on in front of the house behind its low fence. Oh and i live in a bad area. So recipe for disaster!
So need to do what i can to stop it going walkies espec as am tempted to get a new un.

to be honest the anchor is only as good as the way its bolted or concreted in, we have a number of quad bikes so always use anchors for those, obviously the more expensive you go on the chain the better your gonna be, no point spending thousands on a new bike then cut corners and get a cheap chain and lock, most of them come with a security rating so best to buy the best u can, most new bikes come with immobilisers nowadays anyhow, but a nice loud alarm always helps!!! anyhow good luck on your purchase xxxxxxx
