A brakepad assembly for a disc brake comprises a holder having a recess surrounded by end and side wall portions. A brakepad comprises a block of friction material having a metal strip bonded into its rear face, the strip having T-shaped end portions which can be bent into engagement with the wall portions releasably to hold the pad in position. The pad assemblies are pivoted to the ends of caliper arms and have the disc-engaging surfaces of the pads held parallel to the disc surfaces by resilient links which form with the arms a parallelogram linkage.
