Besides Pits for the wheels, headset, and saddle the widest Krypton-U-Lock on the market, I also use crazy glue on all the Allen-head bolts like racks and fenders, seat bolts etc. make sure to carry at least an ounce of nail polish remover (Pink in color) a sharp knife so you can soak then dig the glue out for maintenance or repairs. Take a old 700c inter-tube cut 1/8-1/4 width strips place over the handlebars where you can squeeze the brake using the oversize rubber bands for a quick stop parking brake and finally get a Velcro strip 12 inches long 1/2 inch wide and lock your front wheel to your down-tube store the strap right where the down-tube meets the neck of the bike another quick stop emergency brake. For the last 10-15 years I've been riding this way never lost a bike nor parts there of.
