A screw action disc brake comprises a disc centered on the wheel hub so that torque steer forces are not generated under braking; and a brake pad mounted on a collar which can be moved toward the disc to apply the brake, and away from the disc to release the brake; the collar in the form of a disc with a central circular hole, for clearing the axle mounting section of the hub, and an internally screw-threaded perpendicular perimeter lip. A circular cradle is fixed onto the axle by splines of screw-threads at its center, in such a manner that it cannot rotate about the axle, the cradle having a perimeter flange which is externally screw-threaded to mesh with the screw threads on the inside of the collar lip. The screw-threads are arranged so that when the collar is rotated on the cradle, by pulling a brake cable, in the opposite direction to that of the forward turning hub, the collar moves towards the brake disc.
