A V-type brake is provided for being assembled on a bicycle, the bicycle including two fork arms and a wheel set which is assembled between the two fork arms, the V-type brake including: two brake swing arms, respectively for being pivotably assembled on the two fork arms toward the wheel set, each said brake swing arm having a connecting portion; two brake pad assemblies, respectively assembled on the two brake swing arms, each said brake pad assembly having an assembling slot, the assembling slot positionably and slidably arranged within the connecting portion. A brake system is further provided, including the V-type brake mentioned above, further including a cable assembly, the cable assembly connected to the two brake swing arms, the cable assembly being operable to drive the two brake swing arms and the two brake pad assemblies to swing toward the wheel set.

A hydraulic brake having a master unit, a slave unit, and a hydraulic line. The hydraulic line is filled with a hydraulic fluid and connects the slave unit to the master unit. Further, the hydraulic line has a continuous internal cross-section reduced in at least one longitudinal portion thereof. A method for the installation of a hydraulic brake having a master unit and a slave unit connected to a hydraulic line is also provided.

Responsive to a hydraulic piston advancing out of a piston housing in a second brake arm and contacting a piston cam surface of a first brake arm, the second brake arm pivots around a second pivot. As this is happening, a cam surface in the second brake arm lifts a contact surface of a first force transfer member of the first brake arm, imparting torque to the first brake arm which then pivots around a first pivot. The cam surface is shaped to impart synchronous motion to the first and second pad holders. Splitting one of the brake arms with a centering member permits a centering adjust feature.

A bicycle rim brake comprises a first brake arm, a second brake arm, and a pivotal cam member. The first brake arm is configured to pivot about a first pivot axis. The first brake arm includes a first mounting portion and a first follower. The second brake arm is configured to pivot about a second pivot axis which is different from the first pivot axis. The second brake arm includes a second mounting portion and a second follower. The pivotal cam member is configured to pivot about a third pivot axis which is different from the first pivot axis and the second pivot axis to guide the first follower and the second follower so that the first brake arm pivots about the first pivot axis and the second brake arm pivots about the second pivot axis.

A bicycle rim brake comprises a first shaft, a second shaft, a first brake arm, a second brake arm, and a reinforcing member. The first shaft includes a first fixed end part fixedly provided with respect to a bicycle body. The second shaft includes a second fixed end part fixedly provided with respect to the bicycle body. The first brake arm is pivotally provided on the first shaft around a first pivot axis. The first brake arm has an opposite surface opposite to the first fixed end part. The second brake arm is pivotally provided on the second shaft around a second pivot axis. The reinforcing member couples the first shaft to the second shaft. The reinforcing member is provided such that the first brake arm is at least partially arranged farther from the first fixed end part than the reinforcing member.

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.
