Campag Ergo wheel release
Comments

If you mean the method of getting the tyre passed the brake block when removing a wheel, it's that little button thing close to the lever pivot. Just push it accross and the brakes calipers open a little wider, enough to get your wheel out.

If you mean the quick release for the caliper, just pull the brake lever and push the button at the top of the lever to one side and the calipers will spring out.
Remember to do the opposite after replacing the wheel.

Unless you have both. My wife's winter bike has Shimano brakes for the additional clearance, giving 2 sets of brake release system - cracking.0 -
I prefer the Shimano system (Oh, the shame of it!) because it is much neater & quicker to use, the drawback being that if you forget to re-set it you have no brake.

its not neater imo those ugly levers at the side of the calipers and they are always or at least very often dirty too!

I use both systems and although Campag looks nicer Shimano is more practical. With Campag the brake is either released or closed, there no intermediate position, wheras with Shimano you can trim the position to stop a brake block from rubbing.
I broke a spoke last year and trimmed the brake so that it cleared the buckled wheel, but still gave me enough braking pressure to stop the bike. It got me home in 20 miles of hilly country.
Also if you reguarly change your wheels e.g. road and TT wheels, and the rims are a different width, then you can trim a Shimano lever whereas you would have to re-clamp the cable with Campag.0 -
One of the many reasons I ride Campagnolo, this button is so tidy and easy and a great solution. Elegant but functional.
None of this ugly catch business as on Shimano.
SIZE IS EVERYTHING! or at least that's what my LBS tells me.0 -
My Pearson has both as well. Tektro calipers & Cane Creek levers. To be honest I've found the campag system can be a bit of a fiddle, usualy because with the rear wheel I've already turned the bike upside down and started to remove the wheel before I remember to release the brake.

no you don't. you can 'trim' the brake with the adjuster on the caliper of campag brakes too. where the cable inserts the caliper.
i can on my 2007 centaur ones anyway.
