Retro non QR options?

[Tsundere]

Looking for a nice set of period correct non quick release (late 80's early 90's) wheel skewers and seat post bolt, lad had his wheels nicked from work today and I'd like to learn from his misfortune and avoid the same thing happening to me.

Any recommendations?

Controltech or X-Lite Camloks spring to mind

Thanks, I'll look into those.

Thanks, I'll look into those.

There were also several cheap/unbranded types similar in look to the Controltech

I've used Halo Hex Skewers in the past, not super secure but should deter opportunists

I still do this when I take a bike into town etc, but I really don't want the hassle or the extra weight to be dealing with twice a day Monday to Friday, removing the QR's should be enough for my commuter, just don't want to make it easy for the bastards.

Interesting and a new one on me, will investigate
