Ways not to lock your bike

what are your thoughts people, is it alright for your main d lock to go just around both seatstays, through the back wheel spokes and around the stand? as in, not going around the back wheel rim? or is it only really safe for it to go around the seat tube, back wheel rim and the stand?

Or 'Sheldon' it. (Round wheel rim in rear triangle).

But the ideal if poss is obviously to do rim and frame. Guess it depends on what you are locking too?

around both seatstays should be fine as the only thing they could do is cut the rim to get the wheel off and I think that's only worth it if they REALLY want the hub as nothing else will be salvageable.

sheldons method (i.e. locking wheel only through the rear triangle and not the seatstays) is much less secure as it's possible to get the frame off untouched without breaking the lock, you're just attacking the wheel (with a much bigger payoff for your efforts).
