Abstract
The present invention concerns a disc brake having a caliper encircling one or more brake discs. At least one of said brake discs is received sliding on a hub or a part connected to the hub. According to the invention the caliper is to be mounted in a lagging position. In said lagging position at least a portion of the brake pad assemblies is positioned 0°-180° behind an imaginary point vertically above the centre of a wheel axle, when seen in the normal direction of disc rotation. The invention is intended for brakes, in which the brake pads only act on a restricted part of a full circle.
