An example brake assembly comprises: a brake disk; an outer brake caliper disposed on a first side of the brake disk; an inner brake caliper disposed on a second side of the brake disk such that the brake disk is interposed between the outer brake caliper and the inner brake caliper; a mounting plate disposed adjacent to the inner brake caliper, wherein the mounting plate is coupled to the inner brake caliper and the outer brake caliper, and wherein the mounting plate comprises a slot; and a brake actuation lever pivotably coupled to the mounting plate and disposed through the slot of the mounting plate to interface with the inner brake caliper, wherein rotation of the brake actuation lever causes the inner brake caliper to move toward the outer brake caliper, thereby squeezing the brake disk between the inner brake caliper and the outer brake caliper.
