focus sell yale chains which I have used for years, you just have to choose a padlock to go with it.
these can range from £15-£45 depending on security rating.
I also use one of yale's highest security rated padlocks as a disklock.
Good stuff this- worth the money.

I also carry a Xena disclock, although they get through batteries a couple of times a year they're loud enough to attract attention, if used with a chain/padlock.
Drape the chain over the disclock, then if anyone tries to move the chain the alarm goes off.
In dodgy areas I use the disclock on the front, and a shackle on the rear as well.
That way anyone trying to steal it has to lift both ends at once, it takes more than two people to do this.
Tony's Top Tips number #14:
Put your ignition keys in the carry pouch when it's in use, that reminds you to take it off before riding away!
Better IMHO than those coils of plastic, and you don't need to carry anything extra.

It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

I quite like this as you can't ride off leaving it in place like a disc lock!!!!
