Lining up rear wheel.

Tetsuo Shima said:

Does the tightness of the rear wheel have any affect of
it's position? I'm asking as each time i've needed to take
off the rear wheel to maintain it, it's come out of line
slightly, (had it set up and the disc wasn't rubbing, then
when I put it back on it was rubbing.) It is quick
release, but the first time it was on it was pretty tight.
Now it's not so tight but it's now out of line. Will it's
tightness detroy the frame? What is the preffered
tightness of the rear wheel, if there is one?

The general rule is that the quick-release should leave at
least a faint imprint on your hand. You shouldn't need tools
to get it off, though. When you put it tighter, the hub will
bind up more and the wheel will spin less freely. If you put
it too loose, the rear wheel will yank out of the frame if
you pedal hard. Find a happy medium and adjust your disc
brakes to compensate.

Ta for that.
