ABSTRACT:
A caliper support mechanism for supporting a disc brake caliper is slidably supported by a slide pin. The end face 21 of the stepped portion 11 of the lug 5C of the caliper 5 is arcuately incurved in cross section such that the center of a circle defined by the arcuately incurved end face 21 is coincident with the center of the bolt hole 10 of the lug 5C, and the arcuately incurved end face 21 is directed obliquely and outwardly with respect to the horizontal line H in the lug 5C of the caliper 5. The structure reduces the squeeze of the slide pins by the support bracket as well as the drag and squeak of the brake.
