patte

English translation: bracket

Tech/Engineering - Sports / Fitness / Recreation / part of bike disc brake
French term or phrase: patte
I'm sure this is simple, but I'm not sure what the best option is in a cycling context. Foot, leg, or is it simply a bracket? Or could it be the calliper? This is about a guy equipping a triplet cycle for a tough road trip 20 years ago. He's fitted rim brakes and disc brakes (rare combination at the time).

Au début des années 2000, les freins à disque n'étaient pas disponibles sur les fourches rigides. Le vélociste a opté pour une fourche suspendue Marzocchi, upgradée afin d'assurer la rigidité latérale. L'une des difficultés a été de souder la patte du frein à disque arrière sur le cadre.

disagree  Tony M: Cannot be this, as the context specifically says 'welding it to the rear frame' — clearly, a brake pad of any kind can't be welded to anything!

  -> It is indeed a bit of a mystery how he put together this makeshift system
neutral  philgoddard: I agree with Tony, but it might mean "shoe". However, your reference is to "patin", not "patte".
