ABSTRACT:
A brake unit for a bicycle pivotably attached to brake brackets each having a support shaft (12a) projecting sideways and a radial seat surface formed in a proximal region of the support shaft. The brake unit comprises brake calipers (4) each including a boss (4a) having a boss bore for receiving the support shaft, a first end surface (4b) extending radially, and a second end surface (4c) disposed axially opposite from the first end surface. Each brake caliper is secured to the support shaft by a stud bolt (14) having a contact surface (15a) extending radially. A bush (13) is mounted between an inner peripheral surface of the boss bore and an outer peripheral surface of the support shaft. The first end surface of the brake caliper and the radial seat surface inhibit the brake caliper from moving in one axial direction. The contact surface of the stud bolt and the second end surface inhibit the brake caliper from moving in the other axial direction.
