Abstract:
1. A bicycle brake apparatus comprising: a first brake arm including: a second brake arm including: a biasing member operatively coupled to the first brake arm so that the first brake pad mounting portion is biased in a selected direction; and a synchronizing link that communicates a synchronizing force that arises from one of the first brake arm or the second brake arm to the other one of the first brake arm or the second brake arm so that the first brake arm and the second brake arm move in synchronization; wherein the synchronizing link comprises a bias communicating member operatively coupled between the first brake arm and the second brake arm to communicate biasing force from the biasing member to the second brake arm, wherein the bias communicating member comprises: wherein the first brake arm interface portion interfaces with the first brake arm at a location offset from the bias communicating member mounting portion; and wherein the second brake arm interface portion interfaces with the second brake arm at a location offset from the bias communicating member mounting portion.
