Owned various sportsbikes in London, always secured with Almax Series III plus a Series IV. Managed to keep all of them in my possession.
Daft thing was always that I could have got better insurance discount for some pathetic ‘thatcham’ lock that could have been chopped off with a pair of tweezers.

I have an Almax chain/Squire Stronghold lock. Solid & so far so good.
However, the fabric sleeve is fraying & falling apart - anybody have advice on what to replace it with? Looking for cheap/free DIY option: plastic tubing might work, but does not appear to be flexible enough to thread through spoked wheels........

Another vote for Pragmasis - I've 13mm, 16mm and 19mm chains in various lengths coupled with Torc ground anchors. Also have a pair of their Double D locks for out and about and an "anti-pinch pin" - it's all top notch stuff.
Be aware that the 16 and 19mm chains are way too unwieldy and heavy for use outside of your garage.

Really you need another sleeve IIRC there are some branded ones circa £5 However, the fabric sleeve is fraying & falling apart - anybody have advice on what to replace it with?

I once tried cropping a bike lock and gave up. Fire brigade came and they refused go use their posh grinder (would damage it) and in the end we had to use a combo to get it off.
