Attitude anti theft skewers
ok so i just got some bike attitude anti theft skewers
has anyone used these?
When im holding them i dont need the special key to take them apart
is it just me or are these useless or do they only work when on your bike?
i cant find them on the internet :S
EDIT: pictures yay... and i take back them being plastic
has anyone used these?

LET'S ROLL
When you put them on your bike, you'll have to tighten them. I'm guessing
you won't be able to turn them with your hands anymore.

ok cool so you think it will work alright , phew
the trick is that you need a penta-wrench
Look far to easy to take apart with a hex wrench

I would probably use these so I didn't have to carry a special tool.

They work like a quick release, but have a gravity actuated lock that will only release if you flip the bike upside down.

This assumes thieves are too stupid to Google. "This is our anti-theft device. This is how to defeat it." Right there on the interwebs. Sillyness. But there's a sucker born every minute…
