I use a D lock for the frame/rear wheel and a Kyptoflex Cable for the front.

As HLaB, I use a Kryptonite D lock on the rear wheel and frame, and a cable lock on the front wheel and frame. You could also replace the QR skewers with security skewers.

I use Rohloff gears that I do not wany to lose, so I have Pitlocks on the wheels.

This is basically a skewer with the QR replaced by a limited edition nut that can only be turned by a "key" that fits it.

There are cheaper versions

Is the seat post still QR too?

Yes but I have the parts of my damaged bike to be able to replace,

I hadn't seen these they look perfect, thank you... Would the cheaper ones be massively different in quality ?

Would cheaper mean worse quality ??

......ish

Pit locks are a system that is high qualty with a series of "keys.

I have chosen to have a single key for all nmy bikes and trikes, but there is no reason that they should not be different if you are willing to carry a range of keys.

The alternatives are:

Trans X, simply has a 5 sided allen key

Pinhead has it's own key, with two pins, not as easy to tighten as the other two

MPart have a simple allen key:

So the idea is the same, just the implementations that are different.

Pays your money, and make your choice.

Personally I though that the above were all possibly vulnerable to a suitable implement being forced in and turned... so bought the Pitlock

 

[Biglad82]

The 5sided ones are the ones I have ordered ,

two d locks for me and the kryptonite cable and my bike is at the train station cycle parking where I work
