skewer locks

[pinkkaz]

Hi guys, I want to get some skewer locks like these:

Do you think these are the best ones to go for or does anyone have any other suggestions?

They strike me as being rather expensive - google Pitlock security skewers as I'm sure they're a little cheaper and very highly regarded (I've been using them for years).

That set includes the seatpost and headset locking system, that's why it's expensive. Pinhead also do just the pair of skewers which I've seen for around £20.

I use them and can recommend. They are well made, and very light.

Yep, I want the seat locks as well. Googled Pitlock but I could only find the skewer set and I want the extras too. I've ordered them!

 

[bumsteer]

I've got the seatlock too but for some reason have never been able to fit it properly...

Anyway, you can rest assured in the knowledge that you can now secure your bike with just one small D-lock and it is unlikely to be nicked or have parts removed!

Don't forget to make a note of the key no. as they only supply one.

Good point, the full monty set is now £55

Not sure if these are the same things, but they look like it to me. Only £10.56 too

Trans X ones are similar but use a five sided allen key (so not as unique as the pitlocks erc - I had them on the MTB for 18 months without issue.
