    I’m in the process of building up a SS bike for the odd commute and for carrying LMTTM Junior.

    Whilst the build won’t be overly lavish I wouldn’t want anything going missing.

    I have a reasonable lock and I can’t imagine it will be left anywhere overly vulnerable that said I would like to secure the wheels using non QRs.

    I’ve used the Halo hex skewers but have broken every set from over tightening 🙄

    So what do folk use?

    You might try Halo Hex, but not overtightened?

    On a more serious note, I have some of those 5-sided allen key ones, makes it a little more difficult for the thief.

    And much harder for you when you loose the key! Also easy to round these off I think.
