Claim Text:
1. A sleeve ( 9 ) for a disk brake fitted with a caliper ( 1 ) slidably mounted in a carrier ( 2 ) by means of pins ( 6 , 8 ) fixed rigidly to the caliper ( 1 ), said sleeve ( 9 ) being configured to receive one of said pins ( 6 , 8 ) in a bore of the carrier ( 2 ), the sleeve ( 9 ) comprising first and second ribs ( 10 , 11 ) on a surface configured to come into contact with the carrier so that said ribs ( 10 , 11 ) may be deformed in order to increase said contact surface when the sleeve ( 9 ) is compressed by an activation of the brake, characterized in that the sleeve has a substantially cylindrical shape along a longitudinal axis ( 15 ), characterized in that the first ribs ( 10 ) are of trapezoidal shape extending along the longitudinal axis ( 15 ) of the sleeve ( 9 ) and may be deformed in order to increase said contact surface between the first ribs ( 10 ) and the surface, characterized in that the first and second ribs ( 10 , 11 ) have different heights (H) measured from an outer surface of the sleeve ( 9 ) in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis ( 15 ) of the sleeve ( 9 ).
