quick question, and I'm tired so maybe I'm just dense - but how do you put a part on backwards that rotates 360 degrees?


Also, as far as operating a QR - there may be 10 steps in the Dura-Ace manual, but you don't need to read it to know how to install one, or work one.

Install & Work, by me:

1. unscrew end of QR without little wingarm on it.
2. Stick the long part through the little hole in your wheel.
3. screw that first thingie you unscrewed back on, just a tiny bit.
4. put wheel on, make sure to set it in fully.
5. put lever (wing thingie) in open position, tighten other end until there's a little resistance.
6. close wing thingie.

look, 6 steps, i didn't even have to look at a bike, let alone a manual. If you can't do that, you shouldn't be riding a bike with QR.
