Arrived quickly and was given good advice, to be used when touring! Nice quality chain and sheath, this is the heaviest I would want at the 1.2 metre length, but the noose arrangement makes it very adaptable when needed. i value my bike! Excellent service as ever from pragmasis. Would thoroughly recommend.

Having seen an cheapish (£50) chain in pieces in a Holborn motorcycle shop, following some kids with a pair of croppers nicking a scooter outside, I decided I needed a better chain. I now have my triumph locked with a 16mm protector chain at home and 13mm when out and about. They are high quality and if you keep them off the ground they will provide the best protection you can get a reasonable cost. Helpful people and good service too.

Exrtemely fast shipping, the chain is great, thank you! (:

I have purchased a couple of chains (11 and 13) and a shed shackle for securing the family's growing bicycle collection. Very pleased with the quality. The chains look the part, which I think is half the battle. I also really like the padlocks.

Though there are even sturdier models, the 13 mm one I got is already very good for my electric bike in combination with my DIB D-Locks. The chain is heavy. The noose version is really worth the money. Thanks for the detailed explanation on the site (text and videos) as well as for the profesional-quality service.
Même s'il existe des modèles encore plus massifs, celui de 13 mm que j'ai acheté est déjà très bien pour mon vélo électrique combiné aux antivols en U (DIB D-locks). Cette chaîne est lourde. La version "noose", avec un anneau plus large à une extrémité, vaut vraiment la dépense supplémentaire. Merci pour les explications détaillées sur le site (texte et vidéos) ainsi que pour le SAV très pro.
[ Pragmasis Comment: Merci beaucoup pour votre deuxieme comment en Francais. Pardonez mois que notre 'website' est seulement en Anglais. Ma Francais est tres mal! Encore encore merci beaucoup :-) ]

Ordered a 2m 13mm chain on Monday afternoon and had it arrived on Wednesday morning. Chain is exactly as described and was really well packaged

I was pretty sure after reading all the reviews before purchasing this chain I wouldn't be disappointed and I wasn't.
The chain is of excellent quality and service first class. I was kept informed every step of the way by David about my order and it arrived within 3 days.
Can't fault this company, would highly recommend

Extremely fast delivery and a very good chain, Perfect!

I ordered 1,2 meter 13mm chain with a noose chain at the end for my bicycle. 1.2 meter is enough for most uses and the noose adds a lot of versatility. Very well made, I'm a happy customer.

Ordered the 13mm 1.5m chain to carry in my motorcycle tail pack. Fantastic chain, received the next morning. Excellent thanks.

Speed and helpfulness of Pragmasis service can't be faulted.

Okay, the above setup is heavy to cart around, but there seems no avoiding that. By using an Anti-pinch Pin and a 13mm chain with a noose ring at one end, you can at least get away with a shorter chain. Two tips, though:

1. 13mm chain MAY not quite slip over the pin. Either order 2x links of 16mm chain (one slips through the first 13mm link and over the pin, the other stops the first link pulling right through), OR use a small sharpening stone in a drill to shave just a whisker off the inside of the first 13mm link in a small area.

2. Maybe order a long enough chain to go up and over the seat, so it's held off the ground (1.2m noose chain doesn't allow this, although it may still prove a good choice - not used it much yet).

Hope that helps.

Really pleased. Using this to lock my 2 eBikes to our Motor home. It is also just about manageable to takeout shopping etc (they are e-bikes after all:-) It is quite heavy but you can't have it all ways.

Bought the 2m chain with a loop on the end.

It's a solid product and not as heavy as expected, so is fine to thread through a number of bike frames.

This is not a criticism by any means but as the links are pretty chunky, the lock I had wouldn't close around the standard links, so it was a good excuse to upgrade the padlock too :-)

This 13mm chain is the best. The 2 meter chain is long enough to go through both wheels, the frame and a bike rack or lamp-post. 2 meters is quite heavy (6kg) but is much easier to handle than the 16mm, and it fits through the spokes.

I would say this chain is also suitable for cheaper motorbikes, particularly in small towns around the country.

The nice folk at Mahon Engineering (Ireland) supplied the chain, and changed the 16mm for the 13mm once I realized the larger chain was too heavy and conspicuous for a bicycle. [Pragmasis Comment: Mahon Engineering/North West Locks Strabane are our Northern Ireland stockist.]

The only disadvantage for me is that the red sleeve is very noticeable on my bike, so I'm going to cut up a green camo t-shirt and use the material to disguise some of the red and the shiny silver padlock.

I am using an Abloy 362 padlock, its a bit overkill I know, but my bike is so secure now, there is more chance of me dropping the padlock and killing the bike with that, than there is of someone stealing the thing.

If you want to lock your bicycle and walk away with confidence, get a 13mm Protector.
I'm sure it can also be used to lock up Godzilla should he wander into your back garden, at least until you can call the dog pound.

Having started with Amazon for locks I found my way to Pragmasis via recommendation and bought the 13mm chain and SS50CS Squire lock. Both arrived very rapidly and are spot on - the chain is very solidly constructed and feels indestructible. I've since come back to buy the ground anchor, a 15mm chain and a anti-pinch pin - I'll post reviews of each once installed and in use.

I bought the 2m with noose end so that it can fit around my brick gate post (rented property, so a ground anchor is not permitted). It works perfectly. Very well made and works with the Roundlock I bought at the same time. Amazing customer service from David who is committed to great customer service.

Bought this following Bennetts reviews and the advice of Pragmasis' David, who is clearly very knowledgeable. He just asked "what bike is this for," and immediately knew what would work and what wouldn't. He advised on chain length, and lock and how to secure the bike with them. I am very pleased with the results. I am glad I followed his advice, the chain is big and heavy and a larger one wouldn't have fitted the application. I ended up buying also the RoundLock and the Torc, which are also excellent. I will review them separately.

I have purchased 3 of these 13mm chains over the last few years and they have proven to be very durable, resistant to rust and corrosion (I keep them in situ outdoors year round). The size and weight of the chains act as a very effective deterrent to cycle thieves. Whilst many other bicycles have been stolen in both locations used, my Pragmasis chains have ensured that my bike is not an easy target. Great products at reasonable prices (not cheap - but a bike costs alot more to replace!)

I purchased this lock together with an Abloy PL350 to function as a very solid secondary bicycle lock for my bike, which is kept in a Cyclehoop bike hangar in inner London. My primary lock is a Kryptonite NY M18 DLock, around the seat tube, rear wheel and crank and the protector chain complements this perfectly around the front wheel and down tube, so both locks can fit to a secure object. I think a d-lock and chain work well as a set up to mix up the two lock styles.

I do not think of this as a ‘portable security’ option, it is still very heavy so is part of a heavy duty ‘home security’ up. In the very rare occasions where I would lock up my bike whilst out and about I would choose to take my Dib series d-lock.

The manufacturing quality on the chain is clearly very high and Pragmasis’ customer service is always excellent. I sense that they take a good deal of pride in their products
[Pragmasis Comment: Yes, we do have a pride in our work. We care, a lot. We want to make good quality products in an environmentally and ethically sound way. It's the only way to behave if you want to build a sustainable business, in our opinion.]

Big fan of the company, products and service. Having long used their heavy duty 19mm chain and SS65C lock at home, I asked about suitable portable chains (19mm way too beefy to carry round). As usual great advice and service and I got this 13mm chain on advice from David at Pragmasis. As per his suggestion I got 1.5m length with the noose end so it can work over longer distances whilst still being portable. I use it with the excellent round lock which is very tough but highly portable. Nothing will stop a determined well equipped thief but this combo is practical to carry and use and will make them think twice and hopefully look for an easier target instead. It’s a lot cheaper (and less hassle) than having to get a new bike when your pride and joy is stolen…

I bought 2 meters of this and use an Abloy 626 padlock, although a bit heavy to carry around I find it only a slight inconvenience compared to losing my pride and joy, this setup will stop all but the most well equipped determined theif. Excellent, speedy service too!

Having just retired we decided to purchase 2 new Electric Bikes. These will be kept in an outbuilding on our property. We purchased a 13mm protector chain which is fastened with an anchor to a brick wall, the other end connected to a good quality Abus D lock. The chain is top quality with a sturdy sleeve. It would probably be too heavy to carry on a bike but as it is a permanent fixture weight doesn't matter. Although the chain is fairly expensive (as are the Abus D locks)in security you only get what you pay for. Cheap products are a false economy. Very satisfied customer.

I was after a chain and padlock to secure my motorcycle to an Oxford Rota Force ground anchor. Unfortunately the loop in that anchor won't accept a 16mm chain so I opted for the 13mm chain. The added advantage of this is that is fits through the hole in the rear axle,of my R1200GS. I feel this is a better option than threading through the frame as well. I bought a package with the Squire padlock as well - and a great padlock it is. I wish I had checked this company out beforehand then Inwoikd also have bought their Torc ground anchor - bugger! I purchased a 2m chain and would definitely recommend getting a slightly longer chain than you think you need to give more flexibility. The service from Pragmasis was fantastic - personal emails to advise of despatch and ordering. I didn't call them, but I am sure they would offer the right advice to ensure you choose the right solution for your needs.

I ordered the longer 2.5m chain to replace a shorter one due to acquiring more bicycles and the new chain is of the same high quality as the previous one. It works very well with the Torc ground anchor and Squire lock.

This is my second pragmasis chain. The very heavy one (22mm) stays on the lamppost to which I tie my mike every night and this one (13mm) goes in my topcase for when I park the bike in the street.

I purchased the 2m 13mm chain with noose ending. The noose ending is very convenient, and greatly increases the versatility of the chain. I am using it to secure two bicycles, attached at one end to a wall mounted anchor, and using the Squire SS50CS lock at the other end.

The chain seems VERY robust. To be honest, the weakest link by far is my anchor, so I don't think any thief would bother with this chain. They would almost definitely damage the bicycles beyond sale-ability if they did. I also loop the chain around the wheel + main triangles so that, even if they remove the anchor they would still have great inconvenience moving the bikes.

Obviously I cannot accurately attest to the full security of this device, because no one has tried breaking it yet!

I would emphasize an obvious piece of advice - make sure all the various links in your security system are well-matched, otherwise you may be wasting your money on the top chain. e.g. consider the 11mm chain for added portability.

Overall very happy.

Perfect chain to carry on a motorbike to provide the best security when out and about.

Great product and great service

Highly recommend this company,their customer support is fantastic,the chain is brilliant,very pleased,very fast delivery,will be using these guys again.
Thanks.

Living in a high crime rate area of Leeds I have bought two Protector 13mm Chains and a Squire Padlock to secure a number of high value road and mountain bikes which are stored in a basement. Comparing the Protector 13mm chain to other "sold secure" chains available for high street bike stores makes the other chains look a little on the flimsy side! Excellent service and communication throughout the transaction and delivery, I won't hesitate to return if I need any other security products. Many thanks!

13mm protector and squire lock-the ideal carry combination. I was worried it may not be secure or strong enough, how wrong was I! Engineered to the highest quality finish, this puts my mind well at ease, when used as instructed . Thank you for top British quality and service.
