LIMITED EDITION – all gold
This exclusive Set 02 comes fully gold-plated using a premium PVD coating – even the tool. Technically identical to our standard sets, but with an elegant finish for those who want something special.
Included in the set:
Material: stainless steel, PVD coated
Weight: approx. 202 g per set
The installation width is the distance between the outer faces of the dropouts where the axle sits. This measurement determines which PITLOCK axle fits your bike.
Important: The total installation width depends not only on the hub width but also on the frame. Example: If you measure 113 mm, you’ll need the VA 119 axle, which covers 104–119 mm installation width.
* PITLOCK axle names refer to their maximum installation width – not the hub width.
This set includes three standard axles for quick-release hubs:
Position | Installation width | Hub width | Axle diameter |
---|---|---|---|
Front wheel | 104–119 mm | 100 mm | 5 mm |
Rear wheel | 140–155 mm | 130 / 135 mm | 5 mm |
Seat post | 18–33 mm | – | 5 mm |
* Installation width = space between dropouts, Hub width = width of the hub’s mounting surface
*This edition is strictly limited. No custom codes, no gold re-orders, no alternate combinations. Available while supplies last.

Not only the coded nut protects against theft but also the particularly designed spring washer. It anchors with our coded nut and locks the closure. In order to undo the system the Pit key is used. The Pit keys side panels press and turn the springs of the spring washer at the same time, a principle comparable to child safety locks on certain medicine bottles. Thanks to this principle on the one hand and to the chamfered coded nut on the other hand, pliers will not have a chance to break our system. In addition the conical security ring is pivoted so that it can not be cut by using force.
PITLOCK is made of certified, high-quality and stainless steel and 10 Nm are more than sufficient (not the case for solid axles) to stick the hub incl. the bicycles fork.
Dos and Don'ts to make it more difficult for thieves to succeed
Dos
Dont's
Secure your removable bicycle parts, such as the wheels, the seat, the ahead system and the brakes with PITLOCK, so that the valuable individual parts are also secured against theft.
We would be happy to receive additional hints from you.
The PITLOCK standard axles replace customary quick releases and are suitable for most bicycles. Racing bikes are special and not a standard. Since race bikes are thinner it results that the axles protrude unfortunately.
Even though we offer a broad range of several axle lengths, we are not able to cover all sizes. At best you measure the axle first, or you contact us for our advice.
The axle thread can only be shortened with the help of a hacksaw.
Attention: Please be very careful when shortening the axle.
In case the axle thread protrudes the security rings for approximately 5 mm it is possible to install our elegant end caps.
