That will work fine. The only issue is that you will be carrying 2 Ulocks, and Ulocks are not the lightest things in the world. If that's not an issue, then it will work just fine. Weight savings is the reason why a lot of people use a Ulock + cable combination. It's a bit less secure, but still pretty good and saves you from having to carry an additional Ulock.

Simpler? Anti-theft skewers and a Ulock. You don't have to worry about locking your wheels. Just put the Ulock around any part of your frame and secure to the bike rack and you're done.
