Locking Skewer

[1Tuna]

How the heck do I remove this? On my 2014 Surly 26" Disc Trucker. Don't remember installing one, but I must have, right? Better yet, anyone know what the key would look like? Thanks

screwdriver?

Never heard of one of those. Seems like a regular axle bolt would be preferable.

Is there a number stamped on it somewhere? If so, that might indicate a key code, so that you could order a new key. (if you know the mfr. of the quick release)

I think if it were me, I would probably try to get a regular axle bolt ready, then just drill that one out.

Hey, relax everyone, they are fake locks. The previous owner must have put it on as a theft deterrent. Funny!

Oh, so you're a troll and not a tuna.

Not sure what to make of your comment.

FWIW I use Axelrodz on the few bikes I have that have skewers.

I guess you were giving us a good-natured tease, but on the internet, it's called trolling (as in fishing for a response) and it's not good form. I was making a pun by calling you a troll (the kind that hides under bridges and snatches kids in the old fairy tales) instead of a tuna, like your avatar.
Kind of like how typing in all capital letters is like shouting and isn't in good form.

No biggy though, you seem like a good guy.

Boy, I'm glad you approve.
