That's exactly what Pinhead recommends for their skewers.

Yup. And if your bike has a computer,there's a magnet right there on the wheel a thief can pop off and use.
I'm also not a fan of these because since they look like regular QR's,I can see a thief messing with them thinking they're just really tight and damaging something trying to get them off.
