Asymmetric bicycle chain link
A bicycle chain includes inner link members and outer link member. An inner link having two connecting openings which are formed at a distance from each other, pass through the inner link in the thickness direction thereof and are each designed for receiving a connecting component in order to connect the inner link to a further inner link in order to form an inner link member of a bicycle chain. An outer link member may be formed and attached to the inner link. The inner and/or outer links may be formed with features asymmetric about various orientations of the links.

Electromechanical rear derailleur for coaxial mounting
The disclosure describes an electromechanical rear derailleur for coaxial mounting on a rear wheel axis. The rear derailleur has a base member, a pivot mechanism, a movable member having a chain guiding arrangement, and an electromechanical drive for driving the pivot mechanism. The pivot mechanism connects the base member to the movable member. The chain guiding arrangement is connected to the movable member for rotation about an axis of rotation. The base member comprises a first connection end, which can be mounted coaxially with the rear wheel axis, and a second connection end for coupling with the pivot mechanism.
Bicycle sprocket
A bicycle sprocket includes a sprocket body, a tooth ring, and at least one non-threaded fastener. The sprocket body is made of a first material and has a rotational center axis. A central portion of the sprocket body has a central opening through which the rotational center axis passes. The sprocket body further includes a plurality of arm portions that extend radially outward from the central portion with respect to the rotational center axis. Each arm portion includes a sprocket body attachment portion. The tooth ring is made of a second material different from the first material and includes an annular portion. The annular portion includes a plurality of tooth ring attachment portions and a plurality of chain-driving teeth extending radially outward from the annular portion. The non-threaded fastener fixedly connects a sprocket body attachment portion and to a corresponding tooth ring attachment portion.
DRIVE SPROCKET
A drive sprocket comprising a plurality of teeth for meshing with a drive member to transmit rotary motion, the drive member including a plurality of engagement pockets engaging the teeth of the drive sprocket, wherein each tooth has a tooth profile defined by a first side comprising a first engagement surface and an opposite second side comprising a second engagement surface, which engagement surfaces are configured such that when driven, a tooth meshes to the engagement pocket at a first contact location on the first engagement surface and also at a second contact location on the second engagement surface, wherein the first contact location is radially offset from the second contact location.
DRIVE SPROCKET
A drive sprocket comprising a plurality of teeth for meshing with a drive member to transmit rotary motion, the drive member including a plurality of engagement pockets engaging the teeth of the drive sprocket, wherein each tooth has a tooth profile defined by a first side comprising a first engagement surface and an opposite second side comprising a second engagement surface, which engagement surfaces are configured such that when driven, a tooth meshes to the engagement pocket at a first contact location on the first engagement surface and also at a second contact location on the second engagement surface, wherein the first contact location is radially offset from the second contact location.
Bicycle rotor
A bicycle rotor comprises a base portion and at least one chain engagement portion. The base portion is configured to rotate around a rotational center axis of the bicycle rotor. The base portion is at least partly made of a first resin material. The first resin material has a first Young's modulus. The at least one chain engagement portion is provided on the base portion. The at least one chain engagement portion is at least partly made of a second resin material. The second resin material has a second Young's modulus. The first Young's modulus is higher than the second Young's modulus.
CHAIN RING
A chain ring includes a chain ring body, a plurality of first teeth, a plurality of second teeth and at least one recess. The chain ring body has a radial outer circumference. The first teeth and the second teeth are respectively extended from the radial outer circumference and alternately arranged on the radial outer circumference of the chain ring body. Each second tooth includes a tooth tip and a tooth flank, and the tooth flank is extended between the tooth tip and the chain ring body, and in a first direction parallel to a rotation axis, the tooth flank includes a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface. The at least one recess is disposed on one of the first surface and the second surface of the tooth flank of at least one of the second tooth.
TORQUE TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY FOR A BICYCLE
The disclosure relates to a torque transmission assembly for a bicycle. The torque transmission assembly includes an adapter device and a driving body that is rigidly connectable to the adapter device in a torque transmitting manner. The adapter device has three support arms that extend with a radial direction component, and the driving body has a corresponding number of support cutouts. The support arms are received in the support cutouts forming a press fit. The torque transmission assembly is characterized in that the press fit of the support arms and support cutouts has two fitting planes, which are parallel to one another and to an imaginary plane containing the axis of rotation of the assembly. There is a clearance between the support arm and support cutout along the radial direction component.
POWER ASSISTED DRIVING SYSTEM AND METHOD
According to one embodiment of the present invention, provided is a power assisted driving system comprising: a measurement part for measuring an operation state of a crank; a control part for determining a voltage or current necessary for power assistance on the basis of the measured value of the measurement part; a motor part, to which the voltage or current is applied, for providing driving power; and a power supply part for providing electric power to components other than itself.
