The present disclosure relates to the positioning of a disc brake caliper mounted to a rigid bicycle fork. In one aspect, the disc brake caliper is attached to a portion in front of the fork and the front wheel axle, hence exposing the disc brake caliper to the maximum cooling potential of the airflow. Further, the disc brake caliper is positioned roughly horizontally in-line with the wheel axle to provide aerodynamic benefits for the trailing front wheel axle.
