Abstract
A V-type brake is adapted to slow down or stop a wheel, and includes a pair of first and second brake arms, a brake cable assembly connected to a free end of the second brake arm, and a linkage. The linkage is connected pivotally to a free end of the first brake arm, and is interconnected between the free end of the first brake arm and the brake cable assembly in such a manner that the linkage is in a folded state. The linkage is operable to unfold so as to pivot the free ends of the first and second brake arms away from each other, thereby increasing the distance between brake shoes on the first and second brake arms for removal or remounting of the wheel.
