Review on Solid Axle Wheel Lock - Pinhead M9 & M10 by Adam Stone

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Don't rely on them to fit solid axles on cruiser bikes. The set I received is too small.

I've been a fan of the Pinhead quick release system for my bikes for three years. I bought from Revain and a year later contacted the company directly in Canada to order an additional set with the same key as my first set. (Revain won't let you order a specific key.) Everything worked fine. Fast forward to November-December 2017 when my son and his college roommates had a total of 6 bikes stolen on campus or from their apartment building. I ordered this kit to install pinhead locks on the front wheels of my son and daughter's cruise bikes for campus riding. I even paid an extra $8 for shipping to make sure they arrive today so I can set myself up for my kids when they get back to school after the Christmas break. The problem is that this kit (Pinhead M9 and M10 solid axle wheel locks) does not fit either of the two standard cruiser axle threads.

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Hard to say
