Can anyone recommend a decent Ground/Wall Anchor?

I`ve already got the Almax chain with Squire lock, But pointless if i buy a crap Anchor. Need to fit a 16mm Link through.

Probably something thatcham approved, insurance companies like those

You can make a really good one with a bit of old scafold pipe bent into a U shape. Fill the centre with wet cement & a few bits of reinforcing wire & cement it into the ground.

Don't know if Thatcham would approve it though!

Thanks for all the suggestions guys, Have got one now and its all bolted in

Coppers fitted my one

i got a great big oxford chain and wall/floor bracket for around 25 quid off ebay a few months ago. came with wakin great bolts that would take half the garage wall with it if you tried nickin the bike.

Shame that its likely your chains made of cheese, i think it was in a bike magazine i read at some point saying the most bikes have been stolen whilst protected with a oxford monster lock.

Was reading somewhere that the best way to chain a bike up is so there is no slack lying on the floor because even the best chains only take a couple of wacks with a sledgehammer to break if there is enough slack to give the thief space to hit it against the floor so i allways wrap mine round a couple of times now to use it all up......

I read that article too I think... and I'm sure the chain/lock that came out the best was 'Almax' (?) - still no use if on the floor tho!
