It nearly drives me crazy when I see the front wheel QR lever on the “drive side” of the bike
. I know that there’s at least one “seasoned” forum member that believes it doesn’t make any difference (and perhaps it doesn’t) and “has always done it that way”
. While one reply indicated it was “traditional” to have the QR levers on the non-drive side, it appears to me that the designers intended for them to be on the “NDS”. As far as I’m concerned, it’s a clear indicator of “noobness”
but will concede that individuals can set their bike up the way the wish
. I generally position my levers in a way that they are less likely to be inadvertently released by road/trail debris.
