You can slide the lever to the back of the post but that's terribly ugly.

If I understand you correctly' date=' you mean rotating the whole clamp so the lever sits at the back...?

This would mean that the slot on the clamp and the one in the frame are not aligned. Not sure if this is a good idea. I would think that for the clamp to hold properly they need to be aligned as those slots need to close to some degree. If they're not aligned I suspect the clamp won't be able to tighten as much as is possible and this might actually cause slippage.

At least that's how I see it.

Besides that, the levers that I've seen are generally not very small and in most cases actually protrude even more when turned sideways....depends on the make of course

Hi.

 

Yes, I twist my quick release clamp slightly so the slot on the clamp is at 2 o clock to the rear of the bike. The slot on the tube is at 12 o clock. I usually point the lever towards the rear hub but any way will do for me as long as it doesn't protude and hit my leg.

 

I find the tube slot closes to the same amount regardless of the position of the slot on the clamp.

 

 

One reason for a bolt clamp is you'll strip the threads if you try to over tighten the clamp but in my experience those bolts are not a size you have laying around your house or in your ride bag.
