Fits Triban RC120
I installed these skewers on a Decathlon Triban RC120. They are very easy to install and remove. To install the keyed socked requires a tool to fit in the hole to provide some leverage.Overall it provides peace of mind on a quick stop so I can use one lock instead of two with a quick release skewer.

Quality
The price is very high for this quality. It is possible to find products of very low price and slightly less quality.

something more against thieves
I think they could have provide the cover as well, just as they show in the video.

Faulty item
The item came without the its ID Card. Which means I can't register the key or replace it if the only key sent to me gets lost. If I were told there was no ID -Card I would not have bough the item.

Beware - they only work on 5mm dropouts not 9/10mm ones found on MTBs
I've been having a lot of technical back and forth with Pitlock. My advice is understand if your QR is a 9/10mm dropout or a 5mm. The internal bit is always 5mm, but the drop out width (I think) is really the question. Basically, I fitted these to an EMTB, but found the front wheel wouldn't lock properly. This, I was told, is because modern 29ers use 9mm fromt and 10mm back dropouts and these ones only work with 5mm dropouts - at least that was the explanation I was given by Pitlock. When I asked them to explain what that really meant (is it diameter of the dropout or thickness) the response I got was 'we don't understand the difference either' and 'to ask a bike mechanic'. Looking at another bike store I use online, another customer complained in the review section that his front wheel would also loosen over time. Mine was every ride. In short, they (accoding to Pitlock) simply don't suit the dropouts on my bike. (a standard EMTB made by one of the big German bike makers - but another German company can't make their product work with it?). Now the teflon washer on the front skewer is worn and I was lucky the front wheel didn't come off. I'd like to sell them on, but getting a new teflon washer from Germany as well as new spring washers is super expensive. So you have an expensive product, designed only for certain bikes/smaller diameter dropouts, with parts that are very expensive to replace, that may or may not work with customer service who don't know why the product is doing what it's doing. They likewise come with a single pit, which is why one US company dropped Pitlock (they used to provide 2). In sum, just buy the lock for the seatpost to avoid expensive any annoying pain. Look for XL ones elsewhere tha will accommodate the dropouts.
