How To Install A Wall/Ground Anchor - Cost Effective Too!

- Installing a wall/ground anchor is a simple process and one that riders may overlook. It's crazy just how many social media posts or reports I hear of bikes beig nicked. We work so hard to get what we want, but there's always someone out there that thinks they deserve it more. Horrible world at times.
With so many expensive and wonderful ways to add some more security to your pride and joy, I suppose the right balance of expence but effectiveness of the device is crucial. After all to do something is better than nothing. We must remember that a determined theif will tend to know what they're doing. To delay the process is always a winner in my eyes. This wall/ground anchor is only 1 of 3 security methods in my garage, and that really does give me a better piece of mind let's say.
In this edit, I'm really just showing you how easy it is to install. Although this method is wall mounted, you can install it into the floor using the same steps. If you don't have a garage, then use it indoors to add the extra security you need.

It's such an easy process, I wish I'd do it years ago. Peace of mind for sure. It's not the be all end all solution, but it does help. Enjoy
Excellent video, I'll be investing in that 👍
Really useful that, thanks mate.
Very Helpful!!
Nice work going to do this with my fireblade 👍
Excellent video! Thanks man. Just had my really expensive bike nicked after just 2 days. Def looking at something like this.
Is the chain solid? Not wanting to go to the hassle of fitting an anchor and they just break the chain. Def needing a deterent tho
In this setup i'd say the brick wall is your weakest link. I wouldn't worry about the chain since cutting chain is terrifying especially when it's suspended off of the floor.
Should you go for one of these, don't bother going over 14mm since that is the diameter of the anchor itself.
Thanks
Nice work, however my suggestion for an improvement would be to mount the anchors in the the concrete floor, as it’s much harder to compromise….
Agree. Just didn't have the room I need.
Incorrect. Mounted higher means a thief cant use bolt croppers against the floor for extra leverage. Higher the better.
Unfortunately a sharp hacksaw would get through this in minutes and it wouldn’t make much noise either
It is a good deterrent for an opportunist though well fitted
@@harryedwards9318 Good luck with that. Some would rather use a sledge hammer to brake out that anchor from that brick wall, or an angle grinder to cut that chain in seconds.
The anchor looks really solid, but I wonder how difficult will be for them to go through padlock. Cause if they do that.... They're good to go...
There's so many pros and cons lukav. Main thing is, its better than nothing. 👌👌👊
@@MikesMTBAdventures off course! I'm not criticising just making a point that it doesn't matter how solid is the anchor if padlock won't be up to the task. But even if they would try to drill through padlock it would be noisy so risky for the thief. Unless they have any other methods. Anyway, yeah anything that slows them down is better than nothing. It's a great and informitive video by the way
What drill did you use? I'm thinking of getting a dewalt one from b and q
It was a DeWalt buddy
the Everest is great. but how do you remove the steel balls again without destroying the base plate or screws?
You don't I suppose. Fit and forget
@@MikesMTBAdventures once fitted it remains there, unless your willing to remove the bricks or concrete. but still theres no point as you will never remove the steel balls once they have been hammered in..
@@stuartbrown25could drill but at £35. It's not a huge spend tbh
oh i'm having so much trouble with the balls, hitting them as light as you do isn't working, hitting it hard isn't working either.. The screws are also loosening because of the vibrations when my hammer hits.. I'm going to get loctite next week when the store opens and use that and maybe i should look for something else instead of the balls to cover up the screw
If you have Vernier calipers you could measure the BB size and buy a fractionally smaller size set of BBs
and what do you do when you move to another flat? how to remove it from the wall?
I'm not moving. However if I did, then I'd leave it there. I mean make a decision. Personal choice after all
Looks similar to ABUX 1/2 price or less..
That would come out of that wall in 30 seconds or a concrete floor in a couple of minutes with a 54v cordless chisel, at the end of the day everything is only a deterrent, with cordless tools or a small gas axe it can all be taken in minutes.
fare enough but it all makes noise and theres the alarm sounding, so you hear the alarm then you creep up on them and smash the thieves with a barbell from the gym room. i guarantee they won't come back especially with smashed hands, they will get the message not to f-ck with the wrong people and their property.
The plastic cover is for if you're going to be driving over it. On the wall it's not necessary as it provides no further security.
It looks nice though
Get past that with a bolster and a hammer
What while his house alarm is going off? 🙄

@@aaron6841 I didn't put this comment 😳

Angle grinder on the chain makes this pointless
Not really, it's a deterrent. Definitely better than just a chain around the wheel and frame.
Also angle grinders take time on these chains, it's not like a regular one. You ever touched a loose chain with an angle grinder, kid?
Everything is pointless to an exstent, the harder you make it less likely it will be taken. I have neighbours at home all day. Deterant is pretty much every lock and safety measures to stop a scumbag.
