Adapted quickrelease

– makes it possible for people with impaired hand function to independently put on/take off wheelchair wheels

Description
The release button in the hub of the pushrim is enlarged with self-curing metal that is polished and painted afterwards.

Authors comments
The modification involves enlarging the release button so it stands out from the wheel, which makes it easy to press the button.
