The idea with using the cable is to secure the bits (wheels) the U-lock can't. I hadn't thought of getting another lock for the cable. That's quite a bit of weight to haul around, though.
Another idea I had was to loop the cable through itself around the front wheel and frame. Probably not any better other than being easier to put on.
I guess I'm just a bit more paranoid. I would rather the thief to have to get thru 2 separate locks to steel my bike.
