thanks for the lead....saw pitlock mentioned in one of the thread but seems it only works with vertical dropouts.

anyone currently using any lockable skewers with their horizontal dropout bikes?

cheers

Pitlock will work just fine with horizontal dropouts. Why wife has been using them for several years on her Cross Check.
