Abstract
A cantilever brake arm apparatus includes a brake link having a basal end structured for rotatably supporting the brake link on a bicycle, an intermediate section structured for supporting a brake shoe, and a distal end. A coil spring has a first end retained to the basal end of the brake link, and the second end of the coil spring is retained in a spring position adjusting member that is rotatably supported relative to the basal end of the brake link. The second end of the coil spring extends beyond the spring position adjusting member so that the second end of the coil spring may be inserted into a selected opening in the mounting pedestal.
