I have to correct my earlier post - I said I couldn’t get the Pit lock to fit my front wheel, but after reading Steven’s post, I remembered that I had the Abus Nutfix. I have to lay the bike on its side and use an 8 hex to unlock the wheel = Abus. But the front skewer did not fit, and not even the LBS calling the manufacturer fixed the issue. I will maybe try the Pit lock now, but dread having one more key!
