Roadbunner- The quick release is on the LEFT side of the wheel (opposite side of the chain). The lever is on the same side as the chain is.

Go by the rule- lefty loosy, righty tighty.

If you haven't already taken your front wheel off, look at where your quick relaease lever is in relationship to the front forks of your frame. It should be such that when you put the wheel back on, it lines up with the front forks.

When you put your wheel back on, tighten up the lever on the right side while you play with the quick release on the left side to make sure it is aligned. (you can tighten both sides) When you get it tight enough, and aligned, you are good to go. Be sure you get it tight but not so tight that you can't undo it when you need to remove your wheel again.

Hope this helps!
