Quick Release Axles and Seat Post Clamps

How tight do quick release axles and clamps have to be?

That's easy ...

1. With the handle sticking straight out, tighten the nut with your fingers so that it is just snug.

2. Push on the handle with your palm until it is parallel with bike's frame or fork.

It should take about 20 lbs of palm pressure to seat the handle.
