1. A brake caliper for selectively applying a braking force to a rotor, the braking caliper comprising:
a mount for attaching to a fixed surface; and
a caliper connected to the mount for movement relative to the mount, the caliper including,
a brake frame,
a first brake pad affixed to the brake frame,
a pusher plate supported by the caliper and movable with respect to the caliper,
a second brake pad connected to the pusher plate for conjoint movement with the pusher plate with respect to the caliper, the second brake pad being arranged in generally opposing relationship with the first brake pad for engaging and braking opposite sides of the rotor, and
an adjustor for controlling a position of the caliper with respect to the mount, the adjustor being configured for adjustment to change the position of the caliper with respect to the mount in an unactuated condition of the brake caliper thereby moving the caliper with respect to the mount and adjusting the position of the first and second brake pads with respect to the rotor, the adjustor including an actuator portion and a stop portion, the actuator portion configured to be actuated to adjust the adjustor, the stop portion being disposed between the caliper and mount and the caliper being disposed between the actuator portion and the mount.
