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

One of three kinds of rim or caliper brakes whose action originates from the side of the wheel (usually the left side), using one pivot point for two caliper arms. They are activated by means of a sheathed brake cable connected at one end to the brake lever mounted on the handlebar and at the other end to one of the caliper arms. When the hand lever is squeezed the cable retracts within its sheath, pulling the right caliper toward the rim and exerting an equal and opposite force on the cable sheath which, pressing downward, forces the left caliper toward the wheel rim, in such a way as to press rubber blocks against the rim simultaneously, stopping the bicycle through pressure and friction.  4, record 2, English, - sidepull%20brake

... the sidepull brake has a firm feel that consumes only a little finger motion when varying the finger force to change the braking force.  5, record 2, English, - sidepull%20brake

With side-pull brakes you have a control cable that attaches directly to one of the caliper arms, usually on the left side.  3, record 2, English, - sidepull%20brake

Une des trois catégories de freins à friction sur jante conçus avec une seule articulation et dont l’action est déployée à partir du côté de la roue. Ils sont actionnés par des manettes de freins placées sur le guidon; le câble qui relie les mâchoires aux manettes a son point d’attache sur une des deux mâchoires seulement.  3, record 2, French, - freins%20%C3%A0%20tirage%20lat%C3%A9ral
