The "correct" way is to have the qr lever on the nds, pointing in the same direction as the forks, because if your rear wheel was on a qr and had a derailer it would also have to be on the nds. There's no reason to do this, beyond that it's just one of those traditional things that makes your bike look neater, like lining up tire labels with valve stems.
what the **** has this place come to.
Dont talk unless you know what the **** youre talking about.

Lighten up priest. Sure it helps you find punctures too, but mostly it just looks correct. i fix a flat about every four months but i look at my bike every day.

Putting your QR on the right helps find bike geeks.

I'm not going to lie, I line my QR up on my non-dr side because it matches my back wheel (on my roadie). But I thought he meant there was an actual functional reason to do that.

i put my qr on the right side because i'm right-handed and it's easier to spin the qr when i am taking off my front wheel to put it in my truck.

Argh! Why the hell does this dude have a top tube protector? his bars wont hit and even if the bottom of his stem did hit the ttp is a good 2 inches away.

This is my Specialized S-Works track bike. Each part was sources individually from various places, most new, some lightly used.
Frame and Fork is a 2005 S-Work Track Frameset with FSA carbon Headset. Campagnolo Pista Wheels with Vittoria Pista EVO CS Tubs. Campagnolo Record Pista Crankset and BB. Mike Burrows Carbon Seatpost with Flite Gel Saddle. Deda Pista Bars and Stem. DID Chain And finally the pedals are Capagnolo Record TBS Pedals. The last and finest clip and stap peddle that Campagnolo ever made, those alone cost me as much as the frame!
It's a joy to ride...

This is the same guy as above with the Specialized S-Works (as posted by Skanking Biker). Now he is showing off his 12 year old son's first track/fixed gear. I really don't have a problem with the bike itself. However, I do have a problem with throwing your 12 year old son on a brakeless bike. Ok, maybe the kid has some skill or maybe it is strictly track, but I doubt it. If it is on the street he should give his son a brake.

spdr-rs on a kids bike probably means it's track only.
