Are the front and rear skewers the same? I have 2 bikes & I'd like to have the locking on the front tires of each and only need 1 key for both.

Each set is front and back not 2 fronts, better off locking both tires and the seat ruthless bastards out there

I believe that the skewer intended for the rear wheel is longer. You may need a spacer if the threading isn't enough but it should work.

I think you can go to pin head website and register your key then request more sets for that key.

I believe so, but am away from home - so can't verify. However - I do believe the keys are different between skewer sets. Hope this answers your question?

I have a bike lock to the spare wheel and the frame of the bike rack. You should also have a wheel nut lock to prevent theft on the whole wheel.

Yes, the way it works is you remove the rear skewer from your bike and use the skewer included and that fits into the mounting clamps.

Interesting question. Obviously, I can't speak to how comfortable you will be swapping out the existing rear wheel wheel skewer (recommended) for the one that comes with the Kurt Kinetic trainer. I found it to be pretty trivial; not to mention that the Kurt Kinetic trainer comes with a DVD that shows you how to setup everything - including changing out the skewer. I would think that after watching these videos, if you are still uncomfortable, you could take your bike and trainer down to your local bicycle shop for some one-on-one instruction. Will you be able to use your bicycle on the street after setting it up for your Kurt Kinetic trainer? ABSOLUTELY YES! My preference is to always ride outdoors as opposed to indoor rides. I love the scenery and fresh air! :) The Kurt Kinetic trainer and my subscription to TrainerRoad.com are good alternatives when there's bad weather outside or I simply don't have time to travel to an outdoor location due to scheduling conflicts.

I tried it with the quick release skewers and didn't like the instability. My bike kept wanting to pop out, so I switched to "Forte lockdown skewers" for the rear hub and it works great. Hope this helps you out.

Two locks, same key. The two front buckles have locks. The side ones are just buckles, no locks.

I am not sure, have you tried not using the skewer, I don't on my bike, I use the one my bike came with.

You may have to replace the skewer, I bought one for $10 at local bike shop as the one that came on the bike was too large to fit into quick release. When replacing lock the rear brakes on the bike and remove/insert the skewer, then the chain will not move.

There is an attachment on the tip where you can switch it between presta and schrader. All the parts should be in there! I had to mess around with both bike tires (one of each kind) to figure it out but it works!

Hi, i use the rear pinehead skewer to attack my sworks 29 because it is longer than default skewer Bike system.The frontside pinehead is about 5" long and rearside is about 8" long. With this you can simply take the distance of disered side and compare with this.I hope it help you.Regards

Where ever you're ordering from there should be a chart that says exactly what bikes this stock # fits. Only thing is, Slammer shocks are right at maxxed out on a stock bike with stock tires. If you have a taller rear tire than stock then they may not fit. Also, I'm not sure about the Sporty but on my Dyna fxds I would have had to modify the fender a little in 2 spots. So I chose to wait until I do other mods before deciding on that. I do see a lot of Sporty's running the Burlys, I think they will fit, if you have to modify the fender you'll need to cut off a little above the chain gaurd......may not have a problem on the Sporty tho. Good luck!

Since you have a bolt on axel I would assume that the axle is solid so the supplied skewer would not work, If it is take your bike to a good dealer and see if it will work.

They are different tires - one is designed specifically for the front and one for the rear. Just put them both on a month ago and love them!

Skewer only works on bikes with a hollow axle. The pictures I saw of Diamondback Tess 24 show solid axles front and rear. The specs for this bike also state "nutted" which indicate a solid axle. If you're thinking you can convert to quick release by simply purchasing this product -- it's not that easy. You'll also have to replace the solid axle with a hollow one. However, if you have a broken skewer that came from a hollow axle already on the bike, this product should be good as a replacement.

Both. When you insert the skewer into the slot, the latch to disengage the mount from the rack is locked in place. However, unless you purchase lock cores, it technically isn't "locking" anything.

I am using the skewers on Suntour XC Pro hubs. The front is 100mm over locknut distance and the rear is 135mm over locknut distance.

Yes, it has both. The same key locks the rack to the hitch and locks the cables that lock the bikes to the rack. My only complaint about it is that the cables are just one to two inches too short for my bikes and it is a bit of a stretch to lock into the bike frame. I have to release the front tire from the bar a little to make it reach. It reaches the front tire no problem but if your tires are quick release then it is not good to just lock to the tire. Having said that, I love the product.
