I use the Pneumatic QR a lot on bikes without QR and Fat tires, let the air out.


Most likely a puncture did that already, then put the wheel back in before inflating the tire.

centerpull brake had a QR in the cable housing stop as part of the stuff under the headset nut.
Or there are little wheel pieces that replace the hook,
with the pinch bolt in it,
and put an eccentric mechanisim into that piece to Loosen the cable tension,
in effect , pulling up on the transverse cable, spreading the shoes.. [got a few in a bin here]

you can also squeeze the shoes together
and just unhook the transverse cable in the middle, from the other cable..

On the caliper sidepull, Shimano, many, and older Campag ones too .
