A brake pad holder designed for adjustably mounting a bicycle brake pad to a brake caliper arm. The brake pad holder is designed to maintain the mounting arm thereof in an orthogonal orientation with respect to the brake caliper arm, while the brake pad holder is adjustable in three degrees of motion. The brake pad is removable for repair and replacement thereof, independently from the brake pad mount or other components of the brake pad assembly. The brake pad mount defines a threaded opening for receiving a screw which, when installed, is received within a recess defined by the brake pad. A mounting arm receptor is defined in the bottom wall of the brake pad mount and defines a concave interior configuration which defines a cavity between the mounting arm receptor and the brake pad. A through opening is centrally defined for receiving the mounting arm. The mounting arm is a bolt having a head configured to be received within the cavity defined between the mounting arm receptor and the brake pad. The head defines a lower surface defining a convex configuration to cooperate with the concave mounting arm receptor. A bearing washer is disposed on the exterior of the brake pad mount and defines a concave receptor for receiving the convex exterior of the mounting arm receptor, thus allowing the brake pad mount to move in either of the x-, y- or z-axes, independent of the mounting arm. Flat washers are used as spacers for positioning the braking surface of the brake pad at a selected distance from the wheel rim. A nut is provided for tightening the brake pad mount in a selected orientation.
