ABSTRACT:
A caliper brake for a bicycle comprises a pair of pivot mounts, one of which is mounted on a bicycle member laterally of a wheel rim, one on either side of the wheel. A brake arm is pivotally mounted in cantilevered relation on each pivot mount adjacent its lower end, is biassed away from the wheel rim, and carries a brake shoe intermediate its ends. A guide is affixed to a member of the bicycle above the wheel. A brake lever cable is connected directly to the upper end of one brake arm. A sheath of the brake lever cable terminates in spaced-apart relation to the upper end of the one brake arm to which the cable is attached and has its end received in a holder. A yoke cable is affixed to the upper end of the other brake arm, passes partway around the guide and is affixed to the sheath holder.
