What are the key components of a BMX brake system and how do they work together to control the speed and stopping power of a BMX bike?
The key components of a BMX brake system are the brake lever, brake cable, brake caliper, brake pads, and the braking surface on the wheel rim. When the rider squeezes the brake lever, the cable pulls on the caliper, causing the brake pads to press against the wheel rim. This friction between the brake pads and the wheel rim slows down the rotation of the wheel, ultimately controlling the speed and stopping power of the BMX bike.
What would cause the pin to shear off on the caliper of front brake in 1993 ford escort wagon?

The caliper then squeezes the brake pads against the wheel rim or disc to slow down or stop the bike.
