Abstract
The present specification discloses a pin slider disc brake comprising a torque-taking member and a caliper member, the members being slidable relative to one another by at least one pin connection. Each pin connection comprises an elongate, preferably cylindrical, pin guide which can be made of a corrosion-resistant material, the pin guide being detachably secured to, for example, the torque-taking member. The pin guide has a blind bore extending therethrough, in which a pin secured to the caliper member can freely slide, and the pin guide is so mounted to present an external surface which acts as a friction pad support surface. Thus, the pin guide can be relatively cheaply manufactured of corrosion-resistant material and simply replaced in the event of damage or wear.
