This was a most excellent suggestion, Andy! I did just that and have 4 sets of Pit lock skewers! It’s fun to pick up a phone and chat and he even remembered me, famous though he is, and I was humbled.

Problem solved.

I will say it’s practically a world-wide effort to keep Leah Peterson’s bikes running. You are all exhausted.

Leah,

Check with Peter White's website page https://www.peterwhitecycles.com/pitlock.php and call for Penny or Peter to verify stock. These are locking skewers are the real thing with specifications to exceed what you lament of the Hexlox.

Friends,

A quandary. I have 3 out of 4 bikes set up with Hexlox locking skewers.

They are great. Easy to install. I love that the same key that unlocks the nuts on the saddle/seatpost/stem also unlocks the wheel skewers. 

HOWEVER. The skewer is steel. The nut is aluminum. The bike shop has now had 2 of these nuts strip. They are saying the soft aluminum is the problem;the threads strip after a couple of times removing the wheel. I emailed Hexlox to see if they have a solution, or at least to make them aware of the problem. It’s not cheap to keep buying these parts from Germany. No response yet.

Do you have a superior locking skewer you love? Must be easy to install and safe to use. I have dyno wheels that I’m not keen to have stolen and I also don’t love the idea of carrying a second u-lock. Too heavy.

Thanks!
Leah
