I assume you are talking about the greens?

I'm on a trip through California right now with my Ram on the car
rack, and it requires repeated removal of the front wheel. This
has been covered before, but it's worth mentioning again since
it's brief. With the following three things:
1) QR on brake lever (like Tektro)
2) QR on the brake caliper itself (I'm using Shimano Ultegra
longreach)
3) Having the barrel adjuster normally all the way up so that upon
wheel removal, you can screw it down a lot...
...the Ram brakes open up to allow removal of a fully inflated JB,
and it's a very easy three-step process. I've done it 5 times
since Wednesday!
If you like your Ram with JB's, I strongly recommend this process.
It's way worth the expense of getting the Tektro levers if you
don't have them. Of course, the more recent Big Mouth brakes from
Rivendell would help a lot.
On a related note, my brother and I switched bikes during our road
ride near Stevens Creek Reservoir yesterday. His bike is a Colnago
C50. He was very impressed with my Ram with Jack Browns, I was
very impressed with his C50.
He seemed a bit surprised about how nice the ride is with the Jack
Browns.
