A disc brake 10 includes a pivoting lever (14a, fig 1) having eccentric journals (16, fig 1) which act on a pair of tappets (18, fig 5) is disclosed. The tappets (18, fig 5) are adjusted in length by rotation, and each tappet has a tappet gear 22. A centrally located intermediate gear 24 is provided between the tappet gears to form a gear train, synchronizing the rotation of the two tappets and therefore ensuring that they remain the same length. The centrally located intermediate gear 24 includes a socket 26 for receiving a centrally located adjuster (42, fig 5). The adjuster may be installed and removed from the disc brake through an aperture at the rear of the brake caliper, without any substantial disassembly of the brake and without de-synchronizing the tappets or even interrupting the gear train between the tappets. |
