The pad is mounted with a plurality of brackets extending between the pad and the spokes. Each of the brackets is fastened to an inclined spoke on one hand and, on the other, has a through-hole for receiving a support projecting from the boss or a respective spoke for holding the pad in position and regulating the lateral movement of the pad.
