Can you convert Campy brakes to quick release?

[Globalti]

Looking at some newer brakes with the camming quick release lever jobbie, it struck me that you ought to be able to retro-fit this little device to older brakes.

Any suggestions?

I don't know if you are aware of it, but Campagnolo brake levers have a pin which can be pushed across to allow the brake to open wider for wheel removal. Does this solve your problem?

RR has (newly aquired) Shi**no Sora levers driving Campagnolo Athena (?) calipers.

I don't know if you can retro fit QRs RR. It's got to be possible to bodgineer something suitable. Can we have some close-ups of your calipers?

I had my campag equipped bike for about 6 months before I realised what they pins were for. I used to think they were so you could adjust the reach for those with bigger hands
