An infinitely self-adjusting mechanical brake system which has a caliper housing and actuator assembly partially surrounding a brake disk for making small brake adjustments automatically. A brake disk pad adjacent to a mechanical brake is connected to a brake activator. A brake adjuster is connected to the brake activator for automatically adjusting to substantially reduce the gap between the brake disk pad and the brake disk.
