Garnett, the GRPS lock too big and heavy to be a secondary lock. Its a primary lock. You wouldnt really want to carry 2 of those, or 2 that were equivalent. This thread is more about compromise and convenience, yet still looks for the quality options within this market.
For insurance purposes, then getting 2 locks that were rated as SOLD SECURE GOLD would be the best options. I don't believe with that line of thinking, rather to use the best locks than go by the insurance companies' recommendations. Best if both coincide of course.
It seems to me there's 2 reasons to lock your bike - 1) to try to deter/prevent theft and 2) to validate insurance.
Not sure if insurance companies recognise use of more than 1 "Sold Secure Gold" so 1 would presumably be sufficient for claiming.
Therefore second lock is presumably only for reason 1.
Thanks GA2G.
