What Pitlock Secures and Why It Matters

Many bicycles are equipped with high quality components, but are still left unprotected in everyday use. The frame is locked, yes. But what about the wheels, the saddle, or other accessories? That’s where Pitlock comes in. We secure the parts that are otherwise easy to remove, without alarms or GPS.

Securing Wheels for All Axle Types

Wheels are a common target for thieves and vandals. Many bikes are locked by the frame only. That makes it easy to remove the wheels. Sometimes bikes are locked by the front wheel. In that case, the rest of the bike may go missing. Pitlock offers suitable solutions for all of these cases, covering different axle types:

• Quick release: Common and easy to use, but also easy to remove. Pitlock secures both front and rear wheels reliably.
• Thru axles: Found on many modern bikes, especially mountain, road, cross, and gravel bikes. Our solutions fit many common sizes.
• Solid axles: Often used on city bikes or kids’ bikes. Pitlock also offers the right locking options for these.

Protecting Saddle and Seatpost

Saddles and seatposts are also easy to steal, especially when they are fixed with a standard quick release clamp. Pitlock secures these components and can provide matching locks for all parts.

Securing Bolted Parts with PIT Stopper

Many bike accessories, like racks, bottle cages, or child seats, are mounted with standard hex bolts. That makes them easy targets. The PIT Stopper is a simple and effective security solution for these parts.

The PIT Stopper is a small stainless steel cone with an internal thread. It is inserted into the hex socket of an existing bolt, blocking access with a standard Allen key. To remove it, you need a special release bolt with matching thread. This bolt is included in the set. Without this tool, the PIT Stopper cannot be removed without damage.

Why Mechanical Security Works

Mechanical protection has one major advantage. It always works, with no need for batteries, signals, or apps. Without the correct code, a thief gets nowhere. That is what makes Pitlock so effective.

One System for All Bikes

With the Pitlock system, you can secure all relevant components on your bike using a single code. You can even protect several family bikes with the same key. One key is all you need to unlock any protected part, whether it is your commuter bike, your child’s bike, or a trekking bike. And if you ever lose your key, Pitlock offers an easy replacement service using your code card and unique ID.

Conclusion: Pitlock secures your bike exactly where it matters. Whether it is quick releases, thru axles, the saddle, or accessories. With the right set, your bike is far better protected in everyday life.
