Abstract
A disc brake caliper has two limbs which, in use, straddle an outer periphery of a brake disc to support friction pads on each side of the disc. Each caliper limb supports at least two friction pads arranged side by side in a circumferentially sequential array with the trailing edges of each pad abutting the leading edge of any circumferentially adjacent pad in the array to transmit torque loads from one pad to the adjacent pad.
