Abstract
A disk brake assembly having a friction disk mounted on the hub of a motorcycle wheel, the friction disk having an inner hub and an outer ring interengaged by a plurality of equally spaced offset arms connecting the outer ring to the inner hub. The angle of each arm being such that the heat generated in the outer ring causes the outer end of the arms to expand in relation to the expansion of the outer ring and to contract on cooling to return the outer ring to its original position.
