Zusammenfassung:A brake system for a bicycle includes a number of brake members constructed to engage one another, such as a rotor and a shoe or pad. At least one of the brake members includes fiber reinforcing members. The fiber reinforcing members are distributed throughout the brake member and communicate the braking loads across a substantial portion of the brake member. The braking member is further constructed to distribute the heat associated with a braking action in a generally uniform manner across the brake member. Preferably, the brake member is formed with carbon-type fibers suspended in a Bismaleimide type material. Such a construction provides a powerful, lightweight and robust brake system.
