A brake actuating master cylinder unit for bicycles and the like comprising a unit mountable upon the handlebars of a bicycle, a master cylinder having a piston mounted therewithin, a bellofram secured to the inner surface of the master cylinder at one end thereof and at the piston engaging closed end thereof secured to the piston by means of a plurality of projecting tits extending through complementary apertures in the piston. A snap ring preferably is used to positively secure the tits with the piston. A two-part piston rod is employed between the piston and the brake actuating handle to allow same to return to the normal, non-actuated position freely and without withdrawing the piston therealong. This two-part slidable connection permits positive actuation of the piston during braking operation, but yet permits free separation and non-positive return upon completion of the brake actuation.
