2. Brake pad - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_pad

   The brake pad and disc (now both having the friction material), then "stick" to each other, providing the friction that stops the vehicle. In disc brakes, there are usually two brake pads per disc rotor, they both function together. These are held in place and actuated by a caliper affixed to the wheel hub or suspension upright. Racing calipers ...

3. List of bicycle parts - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_bicycle_parts

   Rotor: 1) the disc component of a disc brake. 2) another name for a detangler - a device that allows the handlebars and fork to revolve indefinitely without tangling the rear brake cable. Safety levers: extension levers, and interrupt brake levers. Used to apply brakes in order for the bicycle to slow down or suddenly stop

4. Disc brake - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disc_brake

   A disc brake is a type of brake that uses the calipers to squeeze pairs of pads against a disc (sometimes called a [brake] rotor) [1] to create friction. [2] There are two basic types of brake pad friction mechanisms: abrasive friction and adherent [ further explanation needed ] friction. [ 3 ]

5. Bicycle brake - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_brake

   More recently, large-rotor disc brakes are being used as drag brakes. (Some tandem riders [who?] with Avid BB-7 mechanical disc brakes and 203 mm rotors report fewer heat problems under heavy braking than when using the previous standard of comparison, an Arai drum used as a drag brake.) DT-Swiss make an adapter to mate disc rotors with hubs ...

6. Motorcycle braking systems - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorcycle_braking_systems

   Aprilia Tuono R front brakes have two floating stainless steel discs with sintered pads, and radially mounted, four-piston calipers. Motorcycle braking systems have varied throughout time, as motorcycles evolved from bicycles with an engine attached, to the 220 mph (350 km/h) prototype motorcycles seen racing in MotoGP.

7. Brake wear indicator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_wear_indicator

   The embedded sensor in the brake pad 2 contacts the rotor and creates a connection to ground of the sensor. The metal plate 3 contacts the rotor and creates a noise. This wear clip should be positioned so that the rotor contacts the clip before it contacts the brake pad. The rotor should push against that clip, not drag it away from the brake pad.
