HA!!

That reminds me of a guy who came into the shop today for some new pedals on his Specialized Allez, he ran to the grocery store while I was installing them and I noticed that his old pedals were only threaded about 3/4 of the way in so I just unscrewed them with my hands.

Then as I was tightening the new pedals I grabbed the rear wheel for some leverage and the whole wheel just popped off! So I realized that the guy just tightened the quick releases as much as he could without closing the lever, the thought of going off a curb and having your front wheel come off is no fun.

When the guy got back I had to teach him how to properly use his quick releases.
