Abstract
A bicycle cantilever brake for being applied to a wheel rim of a bicycle. Specifically, there is a seat (7) fixedly mounted to the bicycle. There is a brake arm (2), rotatably mounted at a first end to the seat. There is also a brake shoe assembly, rotatably mounted to a mid-section of the brake arm. Uniquely, there is a flexible member (5), non-rotatably coupled to the seat and the brake shoe assembly, whereby the flexible member maintains an aligning axis (90) of the brake shoe assembly in a parallel orientation during successive stages of actuation.
