I missed the context for this. Care to fill it in?
When I had QR with rim brakes I always ran the levers on the non drive side. With discs I ran them drive side front so as to avoid hitting the rotors with my hand when opening/closing. But still non drive side rear so as not to interfere with the derailleur area. Is there a physical reason to avoid this? Or is it an aesthetic thing?
If you scroll back you can see SBB's Frankenbike has the QR levers for both skewers on the wrong side. Which may be better or worse than your 50/50 setup depending on who you talk to?
There's no physical reason to have them on one side or another (as long as there are no contact issues with the rear derailleur). But, then there's also no physical reason not to honour tradition here, so why not just run them properly, on the non-drive side?
I mean, for folks that care about that sort of thing.
