Abstract
A mechanical disk brake caliper assembly includes a caliper body, a crank arm, a push member defines a push portion biasable by the crank arm, a first brake pad and a second brake pads disposed at two sides relative to a disk brake rotor, a lever arm pivoted to the caliper body and defining a driven arm portion and a bearing arm portion, and a horizontal displacement means for causing the push member to move during rotation of the push member. During movement of the push member, the push portion of the push member pushes the first brake pad and the driven arm portion, causing the bearing arm portion to move the second brake pad toward the first brake pad, and therefore the first and second brake pads are synchronously moved into operative engagement with the disk brake rotor.
