Bicycle brake assembly
A bicycle brake assembly includes a brake unit, a fixing structure and an alignment structure. The brake unit includes first and second brake arms. The fixing structure is configured to operatively couple the brake unit to a brake supporting portion of a bicycle frame. The alignment structure is disposed in the vicinity of the fixing structure. The alignment structure is configured to align the brake unit to the brake supporting portion.
BICYCLE BRAKE
A bicycle brake including a pre-assembled assembly intended to be mounted on a bicycle frame through two fastening pins is disclosed. The brake includes a first lever and a second lever each having an actuation arm and a braking arm. A support element of the first lever and second lever includes a through hole coaxial to a first rotation axis (X1) of the first lever and a through hole coaxial to a second rotation axis (X2) of the second lever. A first hollow pin is provided with a longitudinal cavity for passage of a first fastening pin of the pre-assembled assembly to the bicycle frame. A second hollow pin is provided with a longitudinal cavity for passage of a second fastening pin of said pre-assembled assembly to the bicycle frame.
BICYCLE BRAKE AND METHOD FOR CONSTRUCTING THE PROFILE OF A SURFACE PORTION OF A LEVER OF SAID BRAKE
A bicycle brake including a first lever and a second lever is provided. A roller for mutual coupling of the first lever and second lever is pivoted to one of said first lever and second lever and is in rolling contact with a surface portion of the other between said first lever and second lever. The surface portion has a profile defined by a curve that passes by a predetermined number of points of the roller. Each of the points are defined as function of the position taken by the roller during a respective rotation of the roller about a first rotation axis (X1) of the first lever by a respective predetermined angle of rotation and about a second rotation axis (X2) of the second lever by a respective angle substantially equal to said respective predetermined angle of rotation.
