I used to screw with newbies before disc brakes by putting the front skewer in backwards. When new Bicycling mag reading new guys would point out that my lever was on the wrong (right) side, I’d tell them that it was to direct the air flow past the derailleurs and front chainrings. More than one person asked if I was afraid my wheel was going to fall off since the skewer was in backwards.
