Title: Disc brake sliding caliper mounting

Abstract: A disc brake caliper assembly has the caliper slidably mounted on pins mounted in a non-rotary carrier. The pins lie on one side only of the disc within the projected circumference of the disc, and are secured directly to the non-rotary carrier, thus avoiding the use of a conventional bracket, so saving weight and providing a compact assembly.
