Parking/emergency brake?
It's just what it sounds likeAvid makes these; they go on the left side of the frame--where the derailleur is not. Avid also makes hydraulic ones.I haven't heard it called exactly CABLE ACTUATED but disc brakes come in either hydraulic or mechanical styles.
Hydraulic disc brakes have brake fluid and a compression line connecting the caliper to the lever with a fluid reservoir. This means you'll eventually have to have your line bled down the road and do more maintenence than on a mechanical brake.
Mechanical disc brakes use a cable to activate the braking.
The main difference is in the feel of the hydraulic brake. It has a smoother motion and the rider doesn't have to change the power of his grip for more braking power.
The mechanical caliper does require more power in the lever to hold the brake closed. But on the plus side, the maintenence is very small.

How do cable actuated disc brakes differ from other types of braking systems on bicycles?
Cable actuated disc brakes on bicycles differ from other braking systems by using a cable to pull the brake caliper, which then squeezes the disc rotor to slow down the bike. This design provides better braking performance and modulation compared to traditional rim brakes, especially in wet or muddy conditions.
How do hydraulic bike brakes work and what makes them different from traditional cable-actuated brakes?
Hydraulic bike brakes work by using fluid pressure to transmit force from the brake lever to the brake caliper, which then squeezes the brake pads against the wheel rim or disc to slow down or stop the bike. This system is different from traditional cable-actuated brakes, which use a cable to directly pull the brake caliper when the brake lever is squeezed. Hydraulic brakes are known for providing more consistent and powerful braking performance, as well as requiring less maintenance compared to cable-actuated brakes.
How do cable actuated hydraulic disc brakes differ from traditional hydraulic disc brakes in terms of performance and maintenance?
Cable actuated hydraulic disc brakes use a cable to activate the hydraulic system, while traditional hydraulic disc brakes are activated directly by hydraulic fluid. Cable actuated brakes may require more frequent adjustments and maintenance compared to traditional hydraulic brakes, which typically offer better performance and require less maintenance in the long run.
What are the advantages of using a hydraulic MTB brake set over a traditional cable-actuated brake system?
Hydraulic MTB brake sets offer better braking power, more precise modulation, and require less maintenance compared to traditional cable-actuated brake systems.
What are hydraulic brakes on a bike and how do they differ from traditional cable-actuated brakes?
Hydraulic brakes on a bike use fluid to transfer force from the brake lever to the brake caliper, providing more consistent and powerful braking compared to traditional cable-actuated brakes, which use a cable to directly pull on the caliper. The main difference is that hydraulic brakes require less maintenance, offer better modulation and control, and are generally more efficient than cable-actuated brakes.
How do hydraulic bicycle brakes work and what are the advantages of using them over traditional cable-actuated brakes?
Hydraulic bicycle brakes work by using fluid pressure to transmit force from the brake lever to the brake caliper, which then clamps down on the wheel rim or disc to slow down or stop the bike. The advantages of hydraulic brakes over traditional cable-actuated brakes include better modulation and control, more consistent braking performance, less maintenance required, and improved braking power.
What an emergency brake looks like?
Depends on the vehicle; could be drum/shoe arrangement with cable actuation; could be rear disc brake pads with cable or could be rear disc brake with inner shoe and drum inside the rotor.
What is a Cable operated disc brakes?
A disc brake is type of brake there a rotating disc (AKA rotor) is pinched between two brake pads mounted in a caliper to make the wheel stop turning. There are two ways to make the brake pads pinch the rotor; hydraulic and mechanic/cable operated. With mechanical/cable operated brakes the cable basically turns a screw which pushes one brake pad towards the other, pinching the rotor and slowing the bike down.

How do cable actuated hydraulic brakes work in comparison to other braking systems?
Cable actuated hydraulic brakes use a cable to activate hydraulic fluid, which then applies pressure to the brake calipers to stop the bike. This system offers more precise and powerful braking compared to traditional cable-actuated brakes, as the hydraulic fluid amplifies the force applied by the rider. This results in better modulation and control over braking power.
Is the emergency brake a hydraulic system that is automatically actuated when the driver depresses the brake pedal?
No, the regular brake system is a hydraulic system that is actuated when the driver depresses the brake pedal. The emergency brake is a direct mechanical system that is manually actuated when the driver pulls the hand lever or depresses the emergency brake pedal, which is separate from the brake pedal.
What are the uses of the disc brakes?
A disc brake is a type of brake that uses the calipers to squeeze pairs of pads against a disc or a "rotor" to create friction. This action slows the rotation of a shaft, such as a vehicle axle, either to reduce its rotational speed or to hold it stationary. The energy of motion is converted into waste heat which must be dispersed. Hydraulically actuated disc brakes are the most commonly used form of brake for motor vehicles, but the principles of a disc brake are applicable to almost any rotating shaft. The components include the disc, master cylinder, caliper (which contains cylinder and two brake pads) on both sides of the disc. More
