What spiral bike lock?

I'm needing to replace my ancient spiral lock which is down to one key that has just broken across the hole to attach to key ring and not even vaguely casual thief proof, more a visual deterant for theft of front wheel/dynamo in combination with a Gold rated, category 15 D-lock which does rear wheel/rohloff hub/frame and securing to whatever...

For the moment, until I have a little more confidence, another pannier rack, and yet another set of lights and appropriate spares for different wheel sizes, I need to use my tourer instead of the road bike (confidence lacking being on the road on the road bike rather than general cycling). Also using the tourer means I can stay off road for the 7 miles each way using a disused converted railway...

Cost is not that important, if you go with the 10% value of your bike theory. One of the bikes is +£2,500 the other £300. It's never going to be used by itself, but it must not be too heavy - the D lock more than makes up for that on weight!

Idea's please?

Having seen the level of protection they offer I wouldn't bother. Following a recent thread on here I purchased an Abus Bordo Granit X Plus folding lock as a secondary option. Probably heftier than most coil locks but fits neatly to the frame under the DT near the BB.

Same situation as you, dynamo front and rohloff rear, so the bike's never being left for long or anywhere too dodgy. But I'm happier with the Bordo for front wheel to frame to stand, rather than my previous flexo cable.
