Excellent information - thanks so much.

I can never get my mini u-lock around the wheel, frame, and parking meter/rack, etc. They're deep rims so there are very few exceptions here.

I've used the kryptonite locking skewers on my road bike and loved them.

I guess I could build a wheelset with a Surly solid hub rear, and Surly QR front (they look very similar), then get a hold of the Pitlock solid axle & QR axle as a set - this wouldn't bet too bad of a setup. Likewise I could ostensibly do the same thing with Dura Ace, but I'm not sure I've ever seen a high flange QR Dura Ace hub.

Have you ever heard of someone putting a rear axel into a front hub? I don't see why that wouldn't work.. is that a bad idea? Or even more of a bad idea: fitting QR axels into track hubs front & rear to allow for Kryptonite skewersets...

It really sucks there's no US reseller right now.. hopefully I can find someone who would be willing to ship them over for me. Maybe I should become a reseller!
