The assembly 10 comprises vehicle and wheel mountings 12, 14 and a releasable latch 20 for securing them together. A brake force transfer means (43, fig 2) on the vehicle mounting automatically engages a brake actuator (51, fig 2) on the wheel mounting when the mountings are latched together. The wheel mounting may have a body portion 24 and a rotatable hub 26. The brake actuator may include a disc 28 and pads (52, 52, fig 2), the disc being fixed to the rotatable hub and sharing a rotational axis with it. The releasable latch may comprise a locking ring, a lever to release the latch and a pin to prevent its release. The latch ring and cooperating parts of the mounting may have hexagonal profiles that are selectively alignable.
