Super late to party. I used to use Pitlocks when they were first devised (20 years ago) but found the Pinheads more to my liking. It looks like the Pitlocks have been improved significantly since the first version. Once committed to a the Pinhead approach, it is hard to go back because the cost to commonly key several bikes becomes prohibitive. Happy with the Pitlocks but always worried about forgetting the key.
Abus now also has a locking skewer I us on my City (not Country) Hillborne. You can't slide the covering off while the bike is upright, and you use a #8 wrench to unlock once the bike is laid on its side. A slight pain to work on because you have to tilt the bike to 90 degrees, with the great tradeoff that you can leave your #8 wrench on the bike. It is of no use to anyone unless they've already defeated the lock. https://www.abus.com/eng/Mobile-Security/Bike-Safety-and-Security/Locks/NutFix I use the Granite X folding lock for in-city lockups - mean streets of DC.
