Abstract
A disk brake device for use with a bicycle has a driven plate extending out from one of a pair of yokes receiving the driven plate therein. The driven plate defines therethrough a channel, such that an adjusting bolt is able to be inserted therethrough. A driving plate added between a driven plate and a brake shoe has a stud extending into the channel of the driven plate to be in contact with the adjusting bolt, such that movement of the adjusting bolt will result in the movement of the driving plate. Accordingly, the movement of the driving plate will cause the brake shoe to move closer to the disk securely positioned between two brake shoes.
