I have pitlocks on front and rear wheels and seatpost. No problem with seatpost slipping. Yeah you lose a little paint but its under the pitlock and you don't notice it. You're gonna lose some paint in other places just from riding anyway. Just forget about it and learn to love patina. I highly recommend pitlocks. If you get more than one make sure you get the same key to fit each and make things simpler for you. The solution for not losing your saddle is to put plumbers putty in the hex head. If you want to adjust your saddle latter on you can easily drill it out. I'm in NYC where they would steal the paint off your frame if given half a chance. If someone wants your bike bad enough they will get it. Just try to make it a pain in the ass for them so hopefully they move on to different pastures. Pitlocks are the pain in the ass.
