ABSTRACT:
A braking device with brake adjusting devices disclosed for maintaining the proper spacing between the brake pad and the rim of the bicycle wheel or the brake disc attached to the bicycle wheel. Each of the brake adjusting devices preferably includes a spacing element and a support member which is coupled to the brake device. Of course, the support member can be coupled directly to the friction pad via a resilient biasing portion or coupled to various parts of the braking device. The spacing element is preferably biased against the rim or brake disc so as to apply a constant force thereto for obtaining the proper pad spacing when the braking device is in its release position. If a support member is used, the support member can have an attachment portion which is coupled to the brake shoe or friction pad support, a retaining member supporting the spacing element and a biasing portion located between the attachment portion and the retaining portion. Preferably, the spacing element is a roller or ball. However, the spacing element can be a smooth non-rotatable element.
