Since my wheelbase won't allow me to lock the real wheel and seattube with my u-lock, instead I lock the rear wheel and the seatstay near the brake bridge (with the ulock in the rear triangle as opposed to being on the outside). It is just as effective as SB lock method plus it looks more secure and there isn't any room to fit a jack or anything. Also, with my bulldog mini it leaves just enough room for my helmet.
