Hi everyone,
I've just moved into a new house in the decrepit, dystopian slums of north-of-the-river Melbourne.
It has a brick garage with a front roller door and a fairly weak side door, but I don't really trust them. I need a solution for locking up my bikes in the garage. I've got 2 motocross bikes, a DH and an XC bike. At the moment I have them all stacked together and chained to each other with a high-tensile peice of chain (not sure if high tensile stuff is any better in terms of getting cut through?) as well as 33 inch mud tire and wheel, and my gripsport rack. Needless to say I'm looking for a more elegant solution.
I'm keen to see anyone elses setup.
Current thoughts are:
- Find a bigger chain (can anyone help on where I would source this?)
- Find a bigger padlock (again, how big do I need?)
- Hide the cut off and grinding wheels.
- Continue chaining everything together.
Other options:
- Get renters insurance (split between 3 housemates it might be okay cost wise).
- Get a steel plate with a loop welded onto it, dynabolt to the ground and then weld the bolts to the plate. I would do this at the back under the work bench (which had some random stuff covering it when I moved in) so I can remove it and cover it up again and noone will be the wiser when I move out.
Thanks everyone
