Brake Caliper release lever??? (Campagnolo Veloce)

[gregsid]

I'm a cycle newbie, so please be gentle with me!

I've recently bought a lovely Wilier Lavaredo.

I've noticed that there are no "quick release" levers on the brake calipers to widen the pads to enable a wheel to be quickly removed without having to deflate the tyre first.

The brakes are Campagnolo Veloce.

Do I need to use an alen key to release the brake cable everytime I want to remove a wheel (easily)? Or am I missing the blindingly obvious somewhere?

Thank you!

Hi Greg

I got caught out by the same issue when I got Veloce

The QR is on the lever not the caliper. Small silver button in a cut out in the hood at the top of the lever. Push it inboard to outboard to release and the reverse to close.

nice bike btw

Thank you for the nice comment too. Best purchase I've ever made.

I was just wondering that myself. Thanks for clearing that up. I also have the same bike. Love going out on it.
