Abstract
An adjusting mechanism of the bicycle brake system is composed of a fastening member, a resilient member and an adjusting member. The fastening member is fastened with one of two brake arms of the bicycle brake system and with the bicycle frame. The resilient member has a deformable arcuate section and is fastened at one end thereof with the brake arm. The adjusting member is composed of an adjustment shaft and a tapered block which is movably fastened with the adjustment shaft such that the tapered block can be actuated to move linearly by the adjustment shaft so as to force the arcuate section of the resilient member to deform.
