ABSTRACT:
A center pull bicycle brake assembly readily mounted on a racing bicycle assembly to apply braking action through brake pad members against outer side walls of a front tire member by use of in a conventional hand operated bicycle actuator handle member. The center pull bicycle brake assembly includes a dual acting brake contact caliper assembly having a cam actuated caliper member pivotally connected to a brake contact caliper member. The brake contact caliper members are readily adjustable to place the brake pad members in a close but spaced condition relative to the front tire member. An actuator cable member is connected to a cam actuator body member which is operable to contact and move spaced ones of cam roller members operable to 1) pivot and move the brake contact caliper members towards a braking operation; and 2) move caliper support housing assemblies having the brake contact caliper assemblies pivotally connected thereto to achieve a dual pivotal action of the brake pad members to achieve a most efficient braking operation.
