Abstract:
A radial-mount type disk brake comprising a disk rotor having a rotational axis, a caliper having a transverse central axis parallel to said rotational axis of said disk rotor and leading and trailing ends with respect to the rotational direction of said disk rotor, a knuckle for supporting said caliper, said caliper being formed with bolt holes extending perpendicularly to said rotational axis of said disk rotor, and mounting bolts each inserted through one of said bolt holes and threaded into said knuckle, thereby fixing said caliper to said knuckle, said caliper being formed with first and second surfaces perpendicular to said rotational axis of said disk rotor at locations substantially offset toward said leading and trailing ends from said transverse central axis of said caliper, respectively, said knuckle being formed with third and fourth surfaces in abutment with said first and second surfaces of said caliper, respectively.
