Description
The budget anchor. A 16 mm hardened steel shackle on a base you bolt into concrete. It folds flat when the bike is out, so you can walk over it. Sensible in a locked garage or shed, with a chain or D lock through it.
Inside a locked building, the job of an anchor is to stop someone wheeling the bike out, and a steel anchor does that for a lot less money. It is corrosion resistant, so it will cope with a damp garage. The shackle is thick enough to take a heavy chain, which is how most people will use it, because a cargo bike frame is a long way from the floor.
It is not in the same class as the Hiplok AX1000 and A1000, which are built to resist an angle grinder. If the bike lives outside, spend the extra.
What you get
- 16 mm hardened steel folding shackle, corrosion resistant
- Low profile base that lies flat when not in use
- Anchor bolts and fixing hardware for concrete
Fitting
It needs to go into concrete or brick with nothing hollow behind it, and you need an SDS Plus drill. Not got one? We can put you in touch with an independent local tradesperson who fits these, usually around £90 to £100 for this anchor, for homes within about three miles of the shop. Awkward spots are quoted on the day, and you pay them directly. Email us to arrange it. There is more on what to check before drilling in our ground anchor guide.
Pair it with the OnGuard Mastiff or Beast chain for a Tern GSD, Bike43 or Muli kept in a garage.
Anchors and chains can go on a Cycle to Work voucher alongside a bike. Call 020 8347 5534 or pop in if you want to talk through where your bike lives.
