Claim 16:
17. A brake caliper for selectively applying a braking force to a rotor, the braking caliper comprising:
a mount for attaching to a fixed surface;
a caliper connected to the mount for movement relative to the mount, the caliper including,
a brake frame,
a first brake pad affixed to the brake frame,
a pusher plate supported by the caliper and movable with respect to the caliper,
a second brake pad connected to the pusher plate for conjoint movement with the pusher plate with respect to the caliper, the second brake pad being arranged in generally opposing relationship with the first brake pad for engaging and braking opposite sides of the rotor, and
an adjustor for controlling a position of the caliper with respect to the mount, the adjustor being configured for adjustment to change the position of the caliper with respect to the mount in an unactuated condition of the brake caliper thereby moving the caliper with respect to the mount and adjusting the position of the first and second brake pads with respect to the rotor, and
a compression spring, the pusher plate being connected to the caliper by the compression spring, the compression spring being adjustable for applying different force to the pusher plate;

wherein the caliper comprises an adjustment bolt engaging a portion of the compression spring in opposition to the pusher plate, the adjustment bolt being mounted on the caliper for movement relative to the caliper to change a distance between the adjustment bolt at the pusher plate to change the force of the compression spring.
