Ok,

I have to take front tire off to put my bike in my car. Now granted, I have very little strength in my hands, so my idea of tight and the LBS idea of tight are probably different. But is there a happy medium? I absolutely cannot get it as tight as they do, and i noticed that my friend who tried to help me couldn't either.

I turn until it just tight and the lever is semi easy to push down on, but the LBS had it to where it was REALLY hard to push the lever all the way down.

Any opinions or ideas?
