If your bicycle has quick release levers, it's important to make sure they are securely tightened. The video explains how to adjust them properly. Quick releases should be tight but not too tight. The lever should leave an impression on your hand when closed. If you can't fully close the lever, adjust it slightly and try again. Quick releases should be on the non-drive side of the bike. Also, check quick release levers on seat posts. The quick is for quick releases. If your bicycle is equipped with quick release levers, it is imperative to confirm that they are sufficiently secured. Quick releases need to be tight, but not too tight. Watch the video to learn more. Most quick release levers have the words open and closed. Open means it is not secure, and the wheel is not fastened. With the wheel centered in the fork or frame, adjust the quick release by opening it, holding both ends, and turning one clockwise until you feel some resistance when you close the lever. At this point, try to close the lever. The adjustment is correct when you can fully close the lever, but waste some effort. The lever should leave its impression on the palm of your hand. If you can only close the lever part way, open it, unscrew the adjustment slightly, and try again. The bearing in the wheel may be compressed if over-tightened. Some seat posts also have quick release levers and should be checked. Wheel quick releases should be on the non-drive side of the bicycle.
