That is exactly what I'm planning to do at some point... Use the nut on one side and the bolt head on the other side so the Pitlock applies its force on those two elements. Haven't gotten around to do it, as I rarely leave the bike locked. Based on my new 2013 goals of just riding more, the candidate for this experiment will be the Betty, which is what I'm planning to ride around town on errands.
