Abstract
The present specification describes a braking disc comprising a hub member and an annular braking disc member, the hub member being attachable to a wheel and having at least two outwardly extending spokes. The free end region of each spoke is engageable between two lugs provided on a face of the annular braking disc member, the opposite face of the annular braking disc member forming the braking area of the disc. The two lugs have facing profiled surfaces which extend generally radially of the annular braking disc member, part of a spoke engaging the profiled surface of one lug to be retained thereby while part of an intermediate member engages the profiled surface of the other lug to thus be retained thereby. A spring is located between the spoke and said intermediate member to press the spoke and the intermediate member against the respective profiled surfaces and to thus retain the spoke between the lugs, while allowing for radial movement between the spokes and the annular braking disc member.
