Great stuff!!
As for locks:
1) go for Kryptonite (medium length) [actually I might have one for sale as I've got way too many, will count them and let you know if interestd]
2) get an insurance (they are cheap and only accept some locks)
3) make sure you use both the lock AND the steel cable that comes with it. Wrap the cable thru the wheels and lock its ends with the lock to a stationary pole.
Usually thieves go around with tools to break one type of lock. And it's easier and quicker to break one lock than two. And quicker to break a lock and go than wasting time removing the steel cable as well.
I know it can be a pain in the ass going around with this stuff and waste time everytime to lock it properly, but that's life. One side is bad, the other is amazing (like people in here).
