I'm after a pair of those things that you replace QR's with on hollow axle wheels... I don't really know what they're called... The title was just a guess.

You know the things that basically change it from a QR lever to a 5 sided allen key?

Either them or I want Pitlocks, are Pitlocks still cheap? Haven't looked at anything like this ever/in ages.

Thanks!

Maxy boy, any bike shop should sell them, even the Evans you work for 5 minutes sell those.

They're definitely worth getting though (as well as the seat bolt).

The Locks That Works thread has a few different ones listed. Multi_Grooves swears by the Pitlocks.

Maxtard, had you thought of using google to find out if pitlocks are cheap?

a front pitlock is about half a day of your very hard earned cash, or £27

But if short of cash, one may use cheese stix. Very few villains carry the proper tools to murder a cheese stick. I say get that one.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
