Chain, without doubt - preferably rated Sold Secure: Gold. I use a couple of the Kryptonite Evolution chains and ground anchors.
I fully expect a determined and well equipped thief could make their way through most deterrents, but I like to think my setup would buy me enough time to make it out...
It’s most likely to be the hole in the tape for the valve that’s the problem... too big, wrong shape etc
You could retape that bit, or cut a small piece from an old inner tube (10p piece sized, but oval so it doesn’t interfere with the bead either side), poke a small hole in the middle and...
I like both the knee and elbow Bliss pads. Sure, they’re not going to offer the protection levels of some of the bulkier offerings but they’re very comfortable and I’ve found the protection more than adequate.

This is the only one I’ve taken and I probably didn’t consider the background too well... it blends in a bit. I like the colour, looks great in the flesh (last bike was bright orange though so maybe I’m just enjoying being slightly less conspicuous).
