I want to get one of these anti-theft skewers. Pitlocks are a bit more expensive, but I heard they don't rust... although not too many who have used Pinheads have complained about rust (to my knowledge).


Which one should is the best to invest in?

I have both. Pitlocks are expensive, but high quality. I like them. I bought a used bike to be a beater and it came with Pinhead skewers. I don't like them at all, the 'wrench' slips easily and I have a hard time getting the skewer really tight
