One caution about Pitlocks: The threads of their skewers are easily damaged. Replacement skewers are $11. But I've found using the skewers from the Amazon/JB Importers variety along with the nuts and shields from the Pitlocks is a reasonable compromise between security and durability.

I've had pitlocks for 6 years now and no issues. From my research they were the most secure of that type of security system. I'd recommend a pitlock or pitlock type system for any commuter that has their bike locked up for hours at a time.
