So you use an M18 with a Series 3?
The problem, as I see it, with the series 3 is that the 0.7m version is too short to sling round the shouldr or your waist, my waist is about 85 cm. And the 1.5m is too long.
The Series 4 and the kryp are 1m, which is perfect.
As for Almax breaking the Krpy with a bolt cutter, I think thats only possible because the chain is on the ground, which is how it is with a motorcyle - but with bikes, it'll be in the air, making a bolt cropper impossible. Obviously, they can all be angle grinded - but a mini on the rear and a chain round the front (and i totally see your argument for the flexiblity it allows you, as I hate trying to find somewhere to fit a mini d) would literally make the bike impossible to be stolen at busy times of day in busy areas. Its a small investment for a peace of mind I think.
