Maggi The One chains (pair) no. MGONE45

Maggi's "The One" includes two innovative developments that really do make a difference to both effectiveness and fitting convenience:

• A patented new self-tensioning system that tightens the "outer chain ring" evenly, with no reliance on luck to achieve optimum tension. This is done by placing elastomer balls within the chain links. When these are gently stretched with the tensioning lever they hold the outer ring of chain nice and tight, with opportunity to flex in line with the frequent changes in tyre shape. Other self-tensioning systems rely on bungees (which aren't bad, but rely on general 'bounce' in the wheel to jerk a chain through a one-way ratchet) or spring-loaded wire devices (which can freeze up or be squashed during dismounting and work across the face of the wheel).
• A simple cam lever which is so much quicker to use than a traditional tensioning chain (which then needs to be secured by being looped around the outer chain ring). There are no ratchet mechanisms to jam, rust or be at risk of being driven over when the chains are removed.

Other features:

• The One is suitable for use with modern low profile tyres - it has a lower profile than most tradional chains, minimising contact with the wheel rims.
• The links are only 9mm high on the tyre tread, with a flexible sheathed cable inside the wheel which is only 8mm.
• The rhomboid shaped links are designed to produce excellent grip, even on corners.
• Maggi chains are approved to the relevant German TÜV and Austrian ÖNORM standards. They use manganese and boron steels, optimally case-hardened.
• They are presented in a tough outer case which has two "Click" catches to make sure it closes each time.

Important safety information: These chains will fit around these tyres but you must not purchase them unless you have checked your vehicle handbook and found out that you are allowed to fit chains to this tyre size. This information may also be provided on our "What fits my vehicle?" database which is offered only as a guide - it is invariably out of date, with new vehicles and new tyre sizes arriving in the UK most months. A bigger problem for us is that changes in manufacturer databases are sometimes not reported to us until much later. There is no substitute for checking the handbook!

Delivery FAQs

When will my order arrive?
There are no deliveries on Saturdays, Sundays or Bank Holidays, except for postable items where Royal Mail has a Saturday delivery. Express Delivery orders placed on a Friday (before 1pm) should be delivered on the Monday or Tuesday, Express Delivery orders placed on a Saturday or Sunday should be delivered on the Tuesday or Wednesday. The arrangements for Very Heavy Items are different and are shown above.

What about Next Working Day delivery?
Most Express delivery orders will arrive on the next working day, if the order is placed before the cut-off time (see above). Some will arrive on the second working day if there has been a "split-delivery". So-called “split deliveries” happen when the couriers do not have enough trailer space for everything that should be moved around the UK, so they will load what they can and leave the rest for the next trailer.

Is my delivery day guaranteed?
No retailer or courier company can ever "guarantee" a Next Working Day delivery. As well as split deliveries, all courier companies occasionally have the same transport problems as can happen to everyone else, including snow blocked roads, closed roads, traffic jams, mechanical breakdown, an inability to find the delivery address, or to gain access to it if, for example, it's in a block of flats. We work with some of the best couriers in the business, and overall they provide an outstanding service.

Do I need to be at home?
We are very flexible with our deliveries and will aim to deliver to an address which suits you – this does not need to be your home address. Goods can usually be left without signature - we prefer this with roof boxes. There's a "Special Delivery Instructions" box in the checkout area where we'll ask you to choose a typical instruction and then amend it to suit your particular requirements.

Payment options:

We take the following cards, and also PayPal. Please note that the entry on your card statement will be from "The Roof Box Company".
