Abstract
A wheel comprises a central hub and an outer rim interconnected by a web, with a pair of annular braking discs being mounted one on each side of the web by connection assemblies each comprising a plate member slidably retained in a generally radially extending slot in the rear face of a braking disc. The plate members are preferably flexible and of a thickness less than the depth of the slot. Bolts secure the plate member to the web so that the braking discs are solely subjected to the pull of the flexed plate members irrespective of how tightly the bolts secure the plate member to the web.
