Hmmm.... never tried it that way.  I must have developed an alternate method
in my formative years.  I kind of lean over the wheel, and brace the frame
in my hip. Hard to precisely describe at this late hour, but it gives me two
hands to  work with - I never liked clamping down the QR without having a
little opposing pressure on the off-side.  Ahhh well... to each, their own,
eh?
