Yup. Use it all you want.

Are you using the front brake quick release, too? Don't worry about damaging that, either.

If you have trouble with either quick release, take your bike to the LBS and ask them to show you how to adjust things. When my bike got new brake cables the brake QR was tough for a week or so until the cable stretched a bit, now it's easy.

I take my front wheel on and off several times a week.
