Abstract
A bicycle brake caliper assembly comprises a brake caliper and a base structure. The brake caliper is configured to apply a braking force on a brake disc rotor configured to be rotatable about a rotational axis. The brake caliper has an attachment surface. The base structure has a first base surface. The base structure is configured to be coupled to the attachment surface of the brake caliper and to be attached to a bicycle frame so as to arrange the brake caliper at one of a first position and a second position which is farther from the rotational axis than the first position. The base structure is configured such that a relative angle defined between the attachment surface of the brake caliper and the first base surface of the base structure differs between the first position and the second position.

A bicycle brake caliper assembly comprising:
- a brake caliper configured to apply a braking force on a brake disc rotor configured to be rotatable about a rotational axis, the brake caliper having an attachment surface;
- and
- a base structure having a first base surface, the base structure being configured to be coupled to the attachment surface of the brake caliper and to be attached to a bicycle frame so as to arrange the brake caliper at one of a first installed state at a first position and a second installed state at a second position, the second position being farther from the rotational axis than the first position, the base structure being configured such that a relative angle defined between the attachment surface of the brake caliper and the first base surface of the base structure differs between the first installed state and the second installed state.
