I have a question that's been bugging me since I first got my road bike a couple weeks ago!! I have quick release wheels on my road bike! How tight should I tighten them? Thanks!!
New rider with a dumb question!!

Dumb question? I think not.
The rule of thumb I always go by is the lever should make a slight indentation on your palm when you tighten it. And this is not at all a dumb question, it as a very important thing to get right because you certainly don't want your wheel coming loose while riding.

Shawn, welcome to the group. When venturing into a new sport/hobby/lifestyle/interest, there are no dumb questions, especially when concerning safety.
