I recently took my All-City Space Horse for a tune-up and was stunned to learn from the mechanic that someone had attempted to steal my back wheel. Thanks to my Pinhead quick-release wheel lock, my bike was untouched and safe and I hadn’t even noticed, despite being a prime target in bike-theft hotspots like Montréal and now Philadelphia. Living in cities where cut locks are a common sight, I've always been extra cautious, parking my bike only during daylight. Investing in a reliable bike like my Space Horse meant security mattered. Initially hesitant to spend an extra $100 on tire locks, I now realize it was the best decision I could've made. That small investment saved me from losing a $2500 bike! Pinhead Bike Locks, you're incredible! Your product really freaking works! I'm grateful for the peace of mind your locks provide, knowing my Space Horse is secure. Thank you for being a game-changer in bike protection.

Unlike some other locks, the Pinhead system replaces your skewers, headset bolt, seatpost collar, etc... with their uniquely keyed bolts. The design of the bolt heads make it extremely difficult to remove except with the correct key. Installing the new locks is as easy as performing any regular maintenance on your bike. Replace your existing hardware with the Pinhead locks, tighten them down with the key, and you're good to go!
Confessions of a Bike Junkie
The goal is to find a lock solution for urban bike-commuting kids. Something that is safe enough to leave all day, light enough to not mind carrying on the bike or in a backpack, and easy to use. Ideally, something kids will want to use, and can use on their own. There’s much to like with the Pinhead setup. By keying everything identically, securing the bike gets much easier.
Just Riding Along - JPPartland
Clever security for your bike’s pricier parts. A different take on security, this kit (Pinhead 4 Pack) comprises a seat bolt, headset top cap and two wheel skewers, all of which can be locked in place. One key fits all.

The quality of the kit from Pinhead Locks is impressive. The stainless steel hardware has so far endured several months of testing on my commute, with no sign of deterioration (the salt air on the ferry is a tough test of any metal quality). The concept behind the products is simple; but the ease of use and benefits are significant. Whether you are nipping down to the shop, or doing bike messenger trips across the city, it is great to only need to carry one small D-lock with you to secure your bike. The system puts you safe in the knowledge that your bicycle's components and wheels will still be there when you return.
Life in the Saddle - Tim Wiggins
Pinhead has created a whole ecosystem for bike security including...locking skewers, headset locks, seat locks, a u-lock and an oval lock they call the City Lock. The really cool trick is all these locking devices can be opened with single Pinhead key. When a thief sees a bike all decked out in Pinhead locks, they may think twice and move along. Pinhead gets major kudos for designing and implementing a whole array of bike security features.
