[0022] The brakes on modern bicycles have evolved to utilize technology from automotive braking systems, such as disc brakes. Disc brakes provide greater stopping power and deceleration control than the traditional rim and cable brakes used in the past. The front and / or rear brakes on a bicycle can be implemented as disc brakes.
[0023] Disc brakes consist of a disc and a caliper. Brake discs are typically coupled to and rotate with a hub on a bicycle wheel. The brake caliper is mounted to a fixed part of the bicycle next to the brake disc. When the caliper is actuated, the caliper moves one or more brake pads into engagement with the outer surface of the brake disc. The friction between the brake pads and the brake disc slows down the brake disc, which slows down the wheel and therefore the bike. Typically, the brake discs are constructed of a harder material than the brake pads so that any wear is directed towards the brake pads. Known brake discs are constructed from ...
