A cover might get me to use Pitlock again. Have two sets. Ran them on both my Hillborne and my LHT. On the latter, which is my winter bike, the Pitlock started to seize. Had a devil of a time removing the wheel one time. There was no obvious rust in the system.
That pretty much scared me off of Pitlocks. Although if you live in more temperate climates (or are better at maintenance) they are a nice choice. (Also don't like only two keys. Prefer three. One to carry, one for the shop, one in house as spare.) Have also used the Zefal QR (that Riv used to sell). Those had a different problem. If I cranked the cam down tight, the pin wouldn't always dislodge. Scared me nigh on half to death one time trying to fix a flat. That was also in winter. Could easily have been a binding issue between two different materials.
