Abstract
The invention relates to a brake assembly, including a brake housing; a wheel rotor rotatable around a rotational axis; a friction member coupled to the wheel rotor; a first braking member and a second braking member arranged to sandwich the friction member; and a wear indicator assembly for indicating wear of the at least one friction member at an indication position on an outside of the brake housing. The wear indicator assembly includes an indicator rod having a first end inside the brake housing and a second end visible from the outside of the brake housing. The second end of the indicator rod is at a second distance from the rotational axis, greater than the first distance of the first end.
