Chicken Cyclekit
CHICKEN CYCLEKIT is the trade distributor for the Datatag cycle identification system.
Datatag works as both a deterrent and a means of identification. It is recognised by most cycle insurers, so can help to bring down insurance premiums on expensive bicycles. The pack includes a glass tag
transponder that is about the size of a grain of rice, so can be hidden inside the bicycle frame, a tamper proof decal to warn the thief that the bicycle is tagged and laser engraved ID labels that are impossible to remove cleanly. There are two kits available: one is a
retail pack that included the glue to fix the transponder inside the frame and the other is an OE pack for shop use. Prices start from £9.11 trade with a retail of £24.99. 01525 381347
