Abstract

See full text

A brake apparatus for a cycle designed so that a toe-in angle of a brake shoe can be set with ease and with high accuracy when the apparatus is assembled. When a toe-in setting member between the brake shoe and a clamping mechanism is deformed, a difference is produced between the angle at which a brake shoe is attached to a support member before the deformation and the angle at which the brake shoe is attached to the support member after deformation. The extent to which the toe-in setting member is deformable has previously been set so that the difference in angle will become a predetermined toe-in angle. A clamping mechanism is operated to clamp the brake shoe to the support member such that the brake shoe can be pressed against a wheel rim. Consequently, when the brake is operated, the brake shoe contacts the friction surface of the wheel rim with a predetermined toe-in angle.
