On my last trip I carried a heavy Abus chain and padlock, in 5 weeks of travel I never actually chained the bike to any thing solid as there was nothing about so a disc lock would have been just as good.
As a disc lock I use a yale padlock,
I think I will leave the chain at home next time
My bike is pretty scruffy if I was using a newer more expensive machine I would be more concered about bike theft.
I do take more care if I am in a city or any place where there are tourists as more likley to be thieves about
