Any ideas on how to get the wheels off my bike more expediently and easily? Sometimes I don't have a rack available or it can only fit so many bikes and I have to get a lift in sedan with limited trunk space. Right now I kind of of just squeeze, rub and force the tires through the pads. I only 28s right now but with my pads set at a normal distance from the rim I'm certain this can't be good for the tire (or shoes for that matter).
I kind of want to retain as many original components as make sense and honestly I don't see anything wrong with the calipers themselves as is. The only thing they're missing is a quick release functionality you have on modern brakes. Is this something you could implement elsewhere on the cable? Sure I could just deflate them and reinflate but then I'd have to start carrying a frame pump rather than a just a CO2 inflator.
After doing a quick google I do see Shimano produces/produced an inline product that seems to do what I need. Pic related.
