Title: Disc brake

Abstract: A disc brake including a stationary caliper holder with a caliper slidably mounted thereon. The caliper holder having respective pairs of inner and outer arms for slidably mounting inner and outer friction pads between the inner and outer arms, projection-and-recess engagement between the backing plates of the friction pads and the inner and outer arms, and an outer beam connecting the outer arms of the caliper holder and extending on the outside or back side of the friction pad. The distance between the inner end surface of the outer beam and the outer end portions of the outer arms which engage with the backing plate of the corresponding friction pad is larger than the thickness of the backing plate so that the friction pad can easily be removed from the disc brake.
