Abstract
In a caliper type brake for bicycles, a coil spring is inserted between the connecting portions of a Bowden cable at ends of opposite brake blocks formed in horseshoe-shape so as to drive both blocks in stretched state. A limiting tool is fitted to a through bolt for pivoting both blocks so as to define the turned position of both blocks, and a spanner-attaching tool is also fitted to the through bolt so as to adjust the turned position of the bolt.
