Bikes: One brand-less build-up, and a Connondale Synapse Carbon Ultegra Disc. A nicer bike than I need, but it was a good deal, so... ;-)

To actuate the QR, pull the lever down slightly, then move the tab up and into the hood area while gently releasing the lever. It does not give you much additional spread.

This procedure should give you enough slack to unhook the cross-over cable from the cable saddle.

If you don't have enough room between the brake pads then, unhook the crossover cable from one brake arm.

If you still don't have enough room, how the &^% did you get the wheel in there in the first place?
