Locking skewers that keep both wheels on your bike.
Pinhead replaces your quick release skewers with locking ones that only open with your own coded key. They stay on the bike while you ride, and resist removal by screwdriver, hammer, pliers, universal sockets, grinders and bolt cutters. When the wheels need to come off for servicing, the key does it in seconds.
Why we rate it:
- Coded key: Each key is unique, with a nine-digit code so it can be replaced if lost
- Hard to defeat: Convex design resists hammers, pliers, picks, sockets, grinders and bolt cutters
- Fit and forget: Locks stay on the bike while you ride
- Expandable: Matching locks can be ordered on the same key for your other bikes and components
