Method of operating a disc brake assembly

摘要

A brake assembly including a caliper (12) having a first side portion connected to a second side portion by two circumferentially spaced bridge arms (20,22), a first and second brake pad (30,32) being interchangeable and each having first and second circumferential ends (173,174) and each having a first formation (175) remote from said first and second circumferential ends, the first brake pad (30) being fitted in the first side portion with the first formation of the first brake pad engaging a second formation (165) of the first portion side for transferring braking torque loads from the first brake pad to the first side portion, the second brake pad (32) being fitted in the second side portion with the first and second circumferential ends of the second brake pad engaging respective first and second circumferentially spaced abutments of the brake assembly for transferring braking torque loads from the second brake pad to the brake assembly. <IMAGE>
