Embodiment Construction

[0042] figure 1 and figure 2 A load-carrying element 10 of a bicycle is shown, in particular an arm of a front fork. The carrier element 10 has a hollow structure and comprises a peripheral wall 11 surrounding and enclosing a cavity 12 .

[0043] The carrier element 10 comprises a fastening area 15 in a position provided for mounting a caliper set of a disc brake. At this fastening region 15 an opening 16 is formed in the peripheral wall 11 of the carrier element 10 . In the fastening region 15 of the carrier element 10 , mounting holes 17 , in particular two threaded mounting holes 17 , are formed on the opposite side around the opening 16 such that the opening 16 is located between said mounting holes 17 .

[0044] Such as figure 1As shown, at the fastening region 15 , the caliper group 20 of the disc brake is mounted on the carrier element 10 . The caliper set 20 includes a caliper body 21 inside which at least one pair of jaws 22 are mounted to be movable towards eac...

Abstract

The invention relates to a caliper group of a disc brake for a bicycle and a method for mounting a caliper group on a load-bearing element of a bicycle. The caliper group comprises a caliper body, at least one pair of jaws movable towards one another and provided with respective friction pads adapted for engaging with a brake disc, a hydraulic system for controlling the jaws; the caliper body has a fixing side, intended to face towards the load-bearing element when the caliper group is mounted on it; the hydraulic system comprises a hydraulic connector adapted for being connected to a tube for supplying pressurized fluid. The fixing side is configured so as to substantially totally rest directly on the load-bearing element, when fixed to it, and the hydraulic connector is positioned at the fixing side of the caliper body. This configuration makes it possible to house the tube entirely in the load-bearing element of the bicycle, without having to take it out near to the caliper body in order to be able to connect it to the hydraulic connector. Moreover, the configuration of the fixing side allows complete closure of the opening on the load-bearing element, preventing dirt and humidity from being able to penetrate inside while the bicycle is in motion. Furthermore, if the vibrations generated while the bicycle is in motion should lead to loosening of the means with which the caliper body is fixed to the load-bearing element, they can be easily retightened, without having to dismount the caliper group to do so.

Description

technical field [0001] This invention relates to bicycles with hydraulically controlled disc brakes. More specifically, the invention relates to a caliper set for a disc brake mounted on a carrier element of a bicycle. Background technique [0002] In high-performance bicycles, especially but not exclusively competition bicycles, hydraulically controlled disc brakes have been widely used for some time and are very popular because they ensure high braking power. These brakes provide: a brake disc, which is mounted on and rotates with the wheel of the bicycle as a unit; and a caliper set, which is mounted on the carrier element of the bicycle and acts on said disc . The caliper set further comprises a caliper body inside which is mounted at least one pair of jaws movable towards each other and provided with corresponding friction plates for engagement on opposite sides of the brake disc Brake disc; a hydraulic system is provided in the body of the caliper to control the jaw...
