    Maybe this is a dumb question, but why does it matter which you turn? I've been turning whichever one was convenient. It seems to me that the wheel still has to center and that the only difference is how much skewer end is on each side of the forks. The only thing that should affect center is if the wheel is properly seated into the forks.
    I'd rather be swimming...biking...running...and eating cheesecake...

    Ummm, no, it doesn't matter which one you turn, as long as you are consistent.

    EDIT: And the rest of this post of mine was waaaaay wrong. Cuz I must've skrewed something else up on my Kona to get the wheel so off center (I assumed it was the skewer, cuz I could completely change the centering of the wheel by playing with the skewer)

    Something else was going on with my Kona.

    (so just ignore what I said, ok? )
