Abstract
A brake for a cycle includes a pair of brake arms each having a cylindrical section received in a through of mounting piece, the brake arms being movable axially and radially within the through and securable at a select position within the through. A brake pad attachment having a distal end and a substantially cylindrical proximal end is received in a bore in the brake arm. The bore has an axis substantially perpendicular to an axis of the cylindrical portion of the brake arm. The brake pad attachment is rotatable axially within the bore. The distal end of the brake pad attachment has a cylindrical hole with an axis perpendicular to an axis of the cylindrical proximal end, the cylindrical hole being sized to axially receive a brake pad post of a brake pad assembly. A clamp is operatively associated with each brake arm for securing the brake pad attachment at a select rotated position within the bore. Another clamp is operatively associated with each brake pad attachment for clamping the brake pad post received in the cylindrical hole of the brake pad attachment in a select position axially and radially.
