  • My Torc Ground Anchor is still in a box awaiting me getting off my arse and fitting it. It's only been there 18 months or so.

    What is worse than the apathy, is that fitting it will make my locking up my bike so much easier too as it'll put the chain in a much more accessible and usable place. (Right now the chain is round the 2" thick electricity cable that comes up from the ground to a distribution box. Good luck to anyone that considers cutting through that #instadeth.)

    (BTW, Pragmasis strongly recommended, good stuff and very helpful. No connection, just happy customer of Almax III chain, Squire SS65CS padlock, and some Squire MC4 chains/padlocks)

  • If you already have a chain, then use it to lock on ground anchor.In practice there is a better/much cheaper solution, for main locking you can use one U-Lock a length of about 25 cm.

    In this demonstration video, i used Masterlock 8196 with 16mm shackle diameter.I recommend OnGuard Brute LS, not because i endorse OnGuard, but because this model is pretty cheap but very strong and robust.;)

    For front wheel locking to bicycle frame, you can use second U-lock(standard size 23cm) of your choice.And here i also offer one recommendation, new Decathlon 720/740 U-Lock, or very cheep but very good for such low price.This model is incomparably better and more robust, compared to "Kryptonite Keeper junk U-Lock series" for the same price.

    Decathlon BTWIN 720/740 U-Locks

    • shackle diameter 14mm/double locking

    • internal automatic keyhole cover+ external manual plastic ring keyhole cover

    • new locking sistem or key, virtually identical to OnGuard U-Lock series locking sistem
