| Cam Lever Quick Release |
|
| Quick releases are everywhere: on seat
posts, wheel axles, and even on our Telescope handleposts. And don't
they make life a lot easier? Some of you may remember when seat posts
were fastened with a bolt and nut, and every time you wanted to adjust
the saddle height, you had to go rummaging for tools. But we'll bet
you didn't know that the present quick release design that combines
a nylon platform above a round washer/cup and a cam shaped lever was
conceived by Dr. Hon, our president, 17 years ago. His redesign of
the older, more complicated Campagnolo quick release design simplified
production and lowered costs to the point that the quick release became
economical enough to use on all bikes. He freely gave the redesign
to the manufacturer of our quick releases and the bicycle world has
never been the same since. |
