Hi,
Please help, if you can, not sure if I'm going mad?! do these brake calipers have a QR lever, for when you want to change a wheel, i.e. open the caliper wide enough to drop the wheel out. (a la Shimano)
My Koolstops are right on the rim where I like them, so only minute movement of the lever is required, but this means the blocks are very close to the braking surface, therefore the increase in distance as the tyre wall flares is too tight to drop the wheel out past the blocks, without having to undo the allen bolt on the brake cable.
Am I missing something or is this a Campag thing?[8D]
