CSE in Phillip is a good place to get chains, they take care that the chains actually fit your wheels, and show you how to put them on. Go for the diamond-style chains, they are much easier to put in (you don't have to lie on the ground and reach around the back of the tyre), and they give better safety. Ladder chains (the ones with the big red hoops) can leave you without chain on the road at vital moments. ant
