Abstract
A bicycle brake system includes a flexible brake disk, a fixed mount single acting caliper, fixed and moveable brake pads and a brake actuator. The caliper is mounted on the bicycle frame in a position to straddle the brake disk. The fixed brake pad is mounted on one side of the caliper, and the moveable brake pad is mounted on the other side of the caliper. The brake actuator is on the moveable brake pad side of the brake disk and is aligned with the flexible brake disk. Upon actuation of the brake actuator, the flexible brake disk is flexed into engagement with the fixed brake pad.
