Abstract
An improvement for brake systems that use a Bowden cable mechanism whereby the actuating force applied by a user is opposed and limited to a predetermined magnitude to avoid locking the rim of the wheel. The improvement includes the use of a spring member between the sheating and the adjusting nut. The spring can be either linear or non-linear. The action applied by a user to a brake system and transmitted to a brake caliper.
