Patent ID: 7926631

Claim:
A disc brake comprising: an actuation mechanism; a first brake pad mounting structure and a second brake pad mounting structure to be located, in use, adjacent opposing inboard and outboard faces, respectively, of a brake rotor to be braked; and a first brake pad and a second brake pad located by the first brake pad mounting structure and the brake pad second mounting structure, respectively, such that, upon application of the actuation mechanism, the first brake pad and the second brake pad clamp the brake rotor and brake torque is reacted by the first brake pad mounting structure and the second brake pad mounting structure, wherein the first brake pad has a different functional requirement to the second brake pad, wherein, to prevent or inhibit incorrect fitting of the first brake pad in the second brake pad mounting structure, the first brake pad includes on one of a peripheral face or a rear face thereof a first formation located such that the first brake pad can only be fitted in the first brake pad mounting structure and only fitted in a correct orientation with the brake fully assembled, and wherein, to prevent or inhibit incorrect fitting of the second brake pad in the first brake pad mounting structure, the second brake pad includes a second formation different from the first formation such that the second brake pad can only be fitted in the second brake pad mounting structure and only fitted in a correct orientation with the brake fully assembled, wherein the different functional requirement is a different flexural strength.
