QL Damper Update

Pompey Learninated0 Comments

I wanted to do a updated post on my Quadlock setup since the issue with the damper failing a few months back. As a quick refresh on Quadlock system, they are the most known and common used way to mount phones for various vehicles and one that I personally have used for many a years without any issue, but a little while ago I ended up having a problem with my setup (below) and had to contact Quadlock UK for support as my damper gave in and would not lock on my wireless module from them which lead to my …

TheftBlock Motorcycle Disc Lock. Pompey Learninated Review time and this one is a cracking security-related product from TheftBlock The unit arrived within 1 working day, so can happily say they don’t mess around making you wait for your lock. As well as arriving so quick it was extensively packaged, protected with a box within a box and then the lock itself is foam padded, basically there is pretty much no way this is arriving damaged, which all leads to an amazing start from this company. Now to the lock itself, it has some real weight to it, from opening the …

Oxford Lidlock

Oxford helmet Lock – Lidlock system. Storage is always a premium on our bikes, a lot of us use a range of items to help add more storage and that can come in the shape of TopBoxes, Panniers and suck, but when it comes to storing say our own safety helmets (as I was always reminded when I was a training motorcycle instructor), or as other call them crash helmets we like to use our topbox it seems more, and while that is great if you got the space to fit it in, or not already carrying other items in …

Oxford Ground Anchor

Pompey Learninated1 Comment

Oxford Products Ltd Brute Force Ground Anchor (OF439). Like my chain this comes with a Sold Secure Silver rating which can help reduce your insurance. I wanted to make sure I used an anchor system with my bike but instead of being used direct on to the ground I wall mounted mine as this works better for my location. The ground anchor is really well made, I have hammer tested this and it holds without any issue, even the paint took a good beating before it chipped. It comes with the main anchor side, 2 bolts and 2 ball bearings …

Oxford HD Chain lock 2m

Pompey Learninated1 Comment

Oxford HD Chain lock 2m (Oxford OF160) Sold Secure Rating. I paid just under £40 for this setup, you can get them cheaper for different sizes but I wanted a longer 2m length on the chain so I could wrap it round more areas if needed, plus with my planned anchor point I needed to make sure it would reach. The chain itself is Hardened 9.5mm square link chain, which I will say seems really strong and comes with a cover over the chain itself to make sure it does not scratch when using it. The lock it comes with …

Oxford Big Boss Alarm Lock (Oxford OF4) Thatcham Approved Vehicle Security (16mm version). This is part of my lock system I use at home to secure my bike, All three parts (Anchor, Chain and Lock) are from the same known brand “Oxford”. Unlike my other 2 parts this comes with a Thatcham Approved rating which does reduce your insurance, unlike the others which are Sold Secure. After my issues with my original lock, I decided it was worth investing in something that would not only give the highest strength Oxford offered in locks, but it was also an alarm system …
