Left for me too. If you don't take the skewer completely out but swap sides, directional treaded tyres will be going the wrong way.

Mines on the left because I've never bothered to change it with the magnet for the computer on the right, I don't think I've had a problem with tyre direction.

Having the skewer on the wrong side is as crass as passing the port to the person on ones right. It is not done, and no gentleman would ever invite such a social ignoramous to accompany his club on a ride ever again.

but then the next question is which angle do you tighten it up

Mine usually lies some where between 12 and 3 o'clock, always facing backwards.

To have the skewer facing forwards is like serving red wine with fish. One simply doesn't do it, and such a social gaffe would see one having to draw ones future dinner guests from very much the lower orders.

As I understand it, & this comes from a trail riding perspective, if it faces forwards you have a chance of unintentionally releasing if you snag on an obstruction. Have it facing backwards.
