Anyway, I get a lot of drag noise on the front brake unless I tighten the quick release lever to the point that I neet a screwdriver or something to loosen it. I've heard that a little drag/rubbing is normal with a new bike (this one has about 600 miles on it) but I'm wondering if it's ok to torque down the quick release that much or if my brake is mis adjusted.

Thanks,
