2. Detangler - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detangler

   The detangler, Gyro or rotor [1] is an invention for the freestyle BMX bicycle, allowing the handlebars to turn a complete 360° rotation without the brake cables getting tangled up. [2] A detangler is usually only used for the rear brake cable.

3. DC injection braking - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DC_injection_braking

   Large rotors and loads with a high moment of inertia may take a significant amount of time to stop through internal friction alone. To reduce downtime, or possibly as an emergency safety feature, DC injection braking can be used to quickly stop the rotor. A DC injection brake system can be used as an alternative or addition to a friction brake ...

   Various Hayes disk brake rotors. Answer Manitou forks. Hayes Stroker Trail Caliper. Hayes Brake, (stylized as HAYES), is a Milwaukee, Wisconsin designer and manufacturer of disc brakes and disc brake systems for non-automotive applications, including Hayes Disc Brake specialising in disc brakes for bikes.

5. Brake pad - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_pad

   Brake pads should be checked at least every 5,000 miles for excessive or uneven wear. Although brake pad wear is unique to each vehicle, it is generally recommended that brake pads be replaced every 50,000 miles, [6] while brake discs (or rotors) typically last longer, needing replacement every 70,000 miles.

6. Power brakes - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_brakes

   There, the fluid compresses the caliper pistons, which causes the brake pads to move inboard and contact the rotors. The resulting friction slows the vehicle. This process is largely the same as a manual braking system; the primary difference is the addition of the vacuum booster.

7. Brake lining - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_lining

   The brake lining is that part of the brake pad which actually contacts the metal brake disc (rotor) when the brake is engaged. Using a typical bicycle brake as an example, the backing would be the metal shell which provides mechanical support, and the lining would be the rubbery portion which contacts the rims when the brakes are applied.
