A tow bar-activated brake system capable of engaging two tires or tire sets of a dolly or trailer where the tires or tire sets are of substantially different diameter. The system includes a first brake assembly and second brake assembly commonly actuated yet capable of rotating independently of each other to provide engagement with both tires/tire sets, even when the tires/tire sets are of substantially different diameter, for example due to uneven wear.
