  • Aerodynamic brake system
    Patent number: 8356828
    Abstract: An aerodynamic braking system is disclosed herein. In particular, the brake arms may define an aerodynamic leading portion or edge and may be integrated into the legs of the front fork. Also, the brake arms may be disposed behind the bottom bracket shell to take the rear brake out of the air flow path and reduce aerodynamic drag. The rear brake arms are tapered so that the brake arms remain sufficient stiff to provide sufficient brake response times. The rear brake arms may be matched to recesses formed on an underside of chain stays.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 11, 2011
    Date of Patent: January 22, 2013
    Assignee: Felt Racing, LLC
    Inventors: Richard Bell, Timothy Saul Lane, William Duehring, James Michael Felt, Jeffrey A. Soucek, David Tyson Buckenberger
