ABSTRACT:
A bicycle brake includes a pair of calipers which are provided with brake blocks and pivot about two parallel axes, and which are resiliently biassed towards a rest position and movable into an operative braking position by a flexible cable fixed within a through-hole in a member for operating the calipers and acting in a direction contained in a plane equidistant from the two pivoting axes of the calipers. The end part of the cable is pressed into the through-hole by a threaded element. To enable the cable to be mounted rapidly and easily, the operating member has a slot passing through it and opening into the through-hole, and is arranged so that the end part of the cable can be inserted into the hole through the slot by the movement of the cable in a direction peripendicular to its axis.
