Spork
Hello.
It will depend if Chan can slide across the D rings. In mi case chain links are welded and do no slide, I mean, it is a line of chain and no an "O".
If you lock the " O" with a padlock, it will rumble even more due to the weight and you feel the padlock weight and finally your tendency is to close the legs when you walk because the padlock pulls of the chain.
Cable, at the end, it is the same, cable has a stiffness that forces your walking way.
I hope I could explain me rightly.
