Rear wheel brake disc
The brake disc is screwed permanently to the wheel
hub
on a vehicle with a disc brake.
The brake lever is pulled to increase brake pressure.
The brake fluid is used to transfer pressure through
the brake lines to the 4 cylinders in the brake caliper.
The braking force is boosted by a speed reduction and
applied to 4 brake linings. These apply the brake disc
mechanically. If the brake lever is pulled, the brake
linings are pressed against the brake disc, and the
movement of the wheel is stopped.
