ABSTRACT:
A non-hydraulic bicycle braking system (2) is composed of a braking arrangement wherein a hand actuator is squeezed at a handle bar to effect movement of a pair of brake pads (94) against the rim (8) of a wheel (6). An actuator cable (116) is operably connected to the hand actuator and mounted to a yoke (134). The yoke is connected to a brake cable which is attached to separate arms (38) that are pivotally mounted at a pivot end (46) to brake mounting brackets (14). Each mounting bracket is separately mounted to spaced apart wheel posts (4). Each arm is pivotally mounted to a piston (68) which, in turn, has the brake pad. Although the arms move through an arc when actuated, all circular arc movements of the arm are taken up in the piston; thereby, leaving the piston to move in a straight manner without deviating in a circular movement.
