ABSTRACT:
A cycle has a frame with wheel supports extending on opposite sides of a wheel rim operatively associated with the cycle frame. The cycle frame includes a pair of brake attachment studs on each wheel support for mounting a brake in operative association with the wheel rim. The brake with pad attitude control consists of first and second brake arms, each having a proximal and a distal end. Each brake arm is pivotally mounted about its proximal end to one of the brake attachment studs of a pair of brake attachment studs. A cable extends between the distal ends of the first and second brake arms which, upon application of force to the cable, pivots the distal ends of the first and second brake arms toward one another. A brake pad mounting bracket is pivotally attached to each brake arm. The brake pad mounting bracket includes a structure for maintaining a brake pad with a brake pad assembly in a select position relative to the brake pad mounting bracket. First and second arch members each have a proximal and a distal end. The proximal end of each arch member is fixedly attached to one of the brake pad mounting brackets. The distal ends of the arch members are pivotally attached. The first and second arch members cooperatively form an arch over the pad mounting brackets of a size sufficient to receive a cycle rim and an associated tire.
