Searched but couldn't find anything similar, sorry if this has been discussed before.
This is what I have:
So during my last ride, the front hub started to develop play twice, and each time I loosened the levers and turned the axle in slightly to retighten, and then closed the levers again. So then after the ride at home I played around with the nut that tightens those two levers, and I found out that in order to even start adding pressure on the axle, it's literally impossible to open the levers by hand. So my quick release levers are kinda useless and I think I have to tighten the axle with a tool from now on. Anyone else have this problem? Seems like something is slightly out of tolerance. Also, the fork/hub is 1.5 years old now and this never happened before.
