Bicycle brake

摘要

A disc brake for use with bicycles and like vehicles is disclosed. A brake disc is retarded in its rotational motion by brake pads mounted on opposite sides of the disc in a two-part housing which surrounds, at one spot, the disc periphery. A spindle-like actuator is mounted within a primary housing part for rotational and limited axial motion to force one brake pad into contact with an adjacent brake disc side. The housing is mounted for limited motion relative to the vehicle frame, and when the first brake pad engages the disc, a second brake pad oppositely mounted on the housing is pulled into engagement with the opposite disc side.
