I would get a longer shackle U lock, and use the cable lock. Up to a point, the more and different types of locks the less likely your bike will be the one to disappear. The trick to the U lock is to not leave any room in it to get a prying device inside the U. I use a Krypto NY Fahgedaboudit chain on my cruiser and just carry it in the basket. That lock cost about 10 times more than the bike
