QR wrangling

[al]

The quick release skewer is one of the most beautifully simple inventions.

So why the f*cking f*ck do tosspots tighten them up so much that this idiot has to use a spanner to lever the thing open, snapping the b*stard b*ggering b*gger!!

Hangin's too good for these people.

I was told if you don't see blood it isn't tight enough

But then again maybe it's best not to take advice from the truckers at the layby

I come across this a lot. Usually done by self proclaimed “engineers”

Anyway …. Use a rag looped around the QR lever to use to pull it open. Always you to get a handful of rag to grip and doesn’t damage anything
