Is there a knack to taking the Q/R wheel off bikes. Once the quick release wingnut is released do
you have to squeeze the brakes together to release the brake cable from the catch. I just managed to
do this but now cannot get the cable back into the catch.
Sorry if this double Dutch, if you look at the second photo on the right here, it is this
system I have.

No, I can only just get the cable back into the latch on my mtb v-brakes. This is due to how close
the blocks are set to the rim. To make it easier screw in the adjusting barrel on the brake lever to
free more cable. If the barrel is already screwed all the way in then you will either have to
struggle until the brake blocks wear down a bit or undo the cable clamp and release a bit more
cable. Don't forget to screw out the adjusting barrel afterward.
