Ok When using standard Quick release I have always kept the on the non drive so it doesn't interfere with the Derailer .

now throw disc brakse into the equation. Omn the front I now that the lever on the side away from the brakes . but in the Rear ? which side do you have the lever on ?

Deraileur or Brake side ?

 

[narlus]

why would it interfere w/ the rotor?

 

[ThePriceSeliger]

Break side.

Some QR levers come pretty close. The Salsas come to mind.

Mine don't come close to hitting. They are a bit of a chore to open when they are super tight, but I run them on the non-drive side.

I put it on the brake side, but it's out of habbit and I have no idea why I started doing it to begin with. Sort of like the whole valve stem/tire label thing. Just sort of happens that way.

 

[McGRP01]

Drive side. I have no idea why.

I always had the QR on the disc side. No interference issues, but gotta be careful after a long descent if you need to open it up: don't brush up against that rotor. Ouch!

Likewise, never been an issue. That's a b!tchin' new avatar you got there Splat.

Bike one: Neither side (10mm axle w/bolt)

Bike two: No choice but the drive side (flaoting caliper mount)

In the past I always ran the QR on the drive side and never experienced deraillleur interference.

a lot of bike shops dont like to put it on the disc side, because people who dont know any better use the rotor as leverage for their fingers to mush the lever closed. So to prevent people from burning their fingers or bending their rotor we always put it on the otherside. It is a little harder to do with the derailleur in the way

moral of the story: as long as you arent retarded and grab the rotor when you close it, the disc side is easier.

QR? What's that?

 

[ThePriceSeliger]

QR? What's that?

20mm and 12 mm axels. What are these QR's you are speaking of?

 

[-dustin]

i just leave the lever open and turn it a lot.

 

[vallEbikes]

Break side.

[Colin]

Drive side. But I don't have any derailleurs.

 

[ThePriceSeliger]

do you mean brake?
