<p>A brake system for bicyles designed so that a toe-in angle of a brake shoe can be set simply and accurately during the assembling thereof. When a toe-in setting member (8) is deformed, a difference occurs between a setting angle of a brake shoe (6) with respect to a support member before the deformation of the toe-in setting member (8) and that of the brake shoe (6) with respect to the support member after the deformation of the toe-in setting member (8). A degree of deformation of the toe-in setting member (8) is set so that this difference agrees with a predetermined toe-in angle A. A tightening unit (5) is tightened and fixed to the suport member so that the brake shoe (6) can be pressed against a wheel rim (4). When the brake system is then operated, the brake shoe (6) comes into contact with a friction surface of the wheel rim (4) at a predetermined toe-in angle A. <IMAGE></p> |
