Abstract

See full text

An attachment structure for a caliper of a disc brake assembly consisting of a caliper and a rotor. The caliper is attached to a wheel supporting portion of a cycle frame which supports a wheel with the rotor fixedly attached to the wheel and the rotor lying in a fixed plane relative to the supporting portion of the frame. The supporting portion of the frame has a pair of attachment bores oriented to attach the caliper with the rotor received between a pair of brake pads advanced into and out of contact with the rotor by the caliper along a select axis. The attachment structure allows for infinite variation of the angle of incidence between the select axis and the plane of the rotor within a defined range. Attachment bolts secure the caliper to the frame with a select angle of incidence between the select axis and the plane of the rotor.
