A brake assembly having a brake carrier, a caliper, first and second brake pads, a pad retraction spring, and a first stop surface. The pad retraction spring urges the first and second brake pads in a direction away from a rotor plane. A first supporting portion of the pad retraction spring is configured to abut the first stop surface to inhibit the pad retraction spring from entering a partially enclosed volume.
