Pinhead Components Locking System

BikeRadar verdict

4 out of 5 stars

"An effective way to keep all your bike's components safe"

Sat 27 Sep 2008, 5:00 pm UTCBy Bikeradar

The Pinhead locking quick release system is perfect for locking up bikes around town. It's a quick, easy, secure and light alternative to hefting round an extra cable and feeding it through wheels.

The combination key ensures no one can wander off with your prized bike bits without serious work with needle-nose pliers.

Make sure that the key’s properly engaged when tightening down, as it can slip and round out otherwise – and, of course, you always need to carry it in case of a puncture. 

The key itself doubles as a keyring, though the ring part could do with being tougher.

    A good product, but the point about its inutility as a keychain deserves reinforcing--do NOT rely on the attached loop, it absolutely will let you down, and your key will be on the street! Not cheap to replace either. I got lucky and saw it before I biked off with the key in the gutter.
