Quick releasing front wheel with Veloce brakes

This is a bit lame, but I've got Campy Veloce brakes and it seems like there is no easy release for the brake to remove the wheel with the tube still inflated. True? Maybe I'm just missing something.

Thanks.

    Have you got veloce levers as well? If so there should be a little metal button near the pivot of the lever... if you push this across it will allow the lever to spring out further than normal which opens up the caliper enough to get the wheel out.

    I had one of them red bikes but I don't any more. Sad face.

    Yes I have Veloce levers. This release button works amazingly well. I knew Italian engineering wouldn't let me down. I actually found a reference to something like this while searching, but couldn't quite understand what they were pointing to.

    Thanks.
