A lever used on a wheel hub, and sometimes a seatpost, that replaces the locknut for easy, no-tool removal or adjustment. 6, record 1, English, - quick%2Drelease%20lever
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
This system is most commonly found at the wheels hubs, replacing axle nuts for fastening the front or back wheels to the front or rear dropouts and allowing rapid removal and replacement of the wheel in case of a flat tire without the need for tools, by turning the lever through 180°. The system is also found at the top of the seat tube for clamping the seatpost into the seat tube and allowing the rider to raise and lower the seat while mounted. The levered quick release system may also be present at the front and rear brakes, this time as an adjustment lever that causes the caliper arms to spread, thereby allowing the wheel to be removed without deflating the tires. 2, record 1, English, - quick%2Drelease%20lever

[...] sur la roue arrière, la manette du blocage doit être montée du côté opposé au dérailleur, donc du côté gauche de la bicyclette. Par symétrie, la manette du blocage de la roue avant se place aussi du côté gauche de la roue. 3, record 1, French, - levier%20de%20blocage%20rapide

Ce système effectue le serrage et le desserrage rapide des diverses parties de la bicyclette. L'emploi le plus fréquent de ce système, conçu pour opérer un changement de roue dans un minimum de temps, est le blocage de la roue dans les encoches des pattes de la fourche, remplaçant les papillons et les écrous. Le système peut aussi effectuer le serrage de la tige de selle dans le tube de selle pour que le cycliste puisse monter et descendre la selle en roulant. Finalement, la plupart des freins à tirage latéral sont équipés d’un tel système qui facilite, en cas de roue voilée, le passage de la roue en écartant les deux mâchoires du frein sans dégonfler le pneu ou le boyau. 5, record 1, French, - levier%20de%20blocage%20rapide

Le CD-ROM est un complément très utile au nouveau cheval de bataille de la firme à la pomme, l'Hypercard. Ce logiciel sophistiqué, très novateur, conçu par Bill Atkinson, l'auteur du logiciel graphique Mac Point, a été annoncé par Apple en août dernier. Hypercard qui facilite le développement de ses propres applications par chaque utilisateur, sans formation spécifique à l'informatique, rend aussi très simple l'accès à une information perdue dans une grande masse de données. Un exemple présenté par Apple : un manuel de réparation de bicyclette. Le vélo apparaît en entier sur l'écran. Si on veut changer le patin de frein avant, on clique sur le dessin, et une image centrée sur la pièce apparaît, puis éventuellement un détail plus fin. 3, record 2, French, - Hypercard
