Claim 17:
18. A method of assembling a brake pad assembly for a bicycle, the method comprising:
a. fixing at least a portion of a first leaf of a spreader spring between a rotor facing surface of a first brake backing plate and a first friction pad; and
b. fixing at least a portion of a second leaf of the spreader spring between a rotor facing surface of a second brake backing plate and a second friction pad; and
wherein step a) comprises i) positioning the portion of the first leaf between the rotor facing surface of the first brake backing plate and the first friction pad, and ii) securing the first friction pad to the rotor facing surface of the first brake backing plate with the portion of the first leaf positioned between the first friction pad and the rotor facing surface of the first brake backing plate; and step b) comprises iii) positioning the portion of the second leaf between the rotor facing surface of the second brake backing plate and the second friction pad, and iv) securing the second friction pad to the rotor facing surface of the second brake backing plate with the portion of the second leaf positioned between the second friction pad and the rotor facing surface of the second brake backing plate; wherein step i) also comprises positioning a pair of tines of the first leaf in a pair of grooves of a plate-facing surface of the first friction pad.
