Abstract
A control cable quick release device for use with cable-actuated brake arms that permits disengagement of the control cable from the brake arm without braking the seal between the quick release device and the deformable bellows thereby preventing premature corrosion of the control cable and permitting quick and easy removal of the bicycle wheel.
