I have a ring lock on the frame, mounted front side of seatstays, and a plug in chain 1.4mm long..
the combination works in town..
On a bike tour I bring a superlong, but fairly thin cable, to attach the bike to trees at my campsite, and
Picnic benches , and so forth..
the loops can be captured , in closing the ring lock hasp.
KNOW ANYONE CAMPING IN THE WOODS WITH A BOLT CUTTER?
What about the AXA ring lock with the plug in chain?
fixed that for you .. Axa NL, Abus De.
NB I never remove my front wheel to lock up, my touring bikes
because of their low rider racks and Mudguards , only remove when punctures require.
or knocking down to box up for travel ..
