A first sprocket includes a first opening having a first diameter smaller than a radially outer diameter of a sprocket support portion of a bicycle rear hub assembly. A lock member includes a main body, a male thread portion, and a radial projection. The main body has a first axial end configured to pass through the first opening and a second axial end opposite to the first axial end in an axial direction. The male thread portion is provided to the first axial end and configured to engage with a female thread portion of the bicycle rear hub assembly in a state where a bicycle rear sprocket assembly is mounted to the bicycle rear hub assembly. The radial projection extends radially outwardly from the second axial end to restrict axial displacement of the first sprocket with respect to the sprocket support portion in the state.

A bicycle sprocket comprises a sprocket body and a plurality of chain-driving teeth. The plurality of chain-driving teeth comprises a first tooth and a second tooth. The first tooth has a first maximum chain-engaging width defined in an axial direction parallel to the rotational center axis. The second tooth has a second maximum chain-engaging width defined in the axial direction. The first tooth has a first width defined in the axial direction. The first width is defined at a reference position radially outward spaced apart from a center point of a reference line by 1.5 mm. The reference line is defined to connect centers of neighboring pins of the bicycle chain engaged with the plurality of chain-driving teeth when viewed from the axial direction. The first width is 70% or more of the first maximum chain-engaging width.

A polygon compensation coupling system (30; 40; 60) comprises a first rotatable element (31; 41; 61), a second rotatable element (32; 42; 62a, 62b), and at least one linkage coupling the first rotatable element (31; 41; 61) with the second rotatable element (32; 42; 62a, 62b). The linkage comprises at least one first coupling element (34a; 44a; 64a) pivotably coupled to the first rotatable element (31; 41; 61) and at least one second coupling element (34b; 44b; 64b) pivotably coupled to the second rotatable element (32; 42; 62b). The first and second coupling elements (34a, 34b; 44a, 44b; 64a, 64b) are pivotably coupled to each other at a hinge point, the hinge point is configured to move along a compensation curve varying the coupling between the first rotatable element (34a; 44a; 64a) and the second rotatable element (32; 42; 62b).

A multiple bicycle sprocket assembly is basically provided with a first sprocket supporting member and a second sprocket supporting member. A first sprocket is coupled to one of a first bicycle inbound facing side and a first bicycle outbound facing side of the first sprocket supporting member, and is a separate member therefrom. A second sprocket is coupled to one of a second bicycle inbound facing side and a second bicycle outbound facing side of the second sprocket supporting member, and is a separate member therefrom. At least one fastening member connects the first sprocket supporting member and the second sprocket supporting member, and is a separate member therefrom. At least one hub engaged sprocket is free from connection with the at least one fastening member, and is a separate member from the first and second sprocket supporting members.

A bicycle component controller is basically provided with a data storage device and a processor. The data storage device contains sprocket assembly information of at least one sprocket assembly. The processor is configured to perform a gear shift control based on the sprocket assembly information. The sprocket assembly information of the at least one sprocket assembly at least includes a total sprocket number and shifting gate information. The single shifting distance of the sprocket assembly information corresponds to an axial spacing between adjacent sprockets of the at least one sprocket assembly.

A bicycle sprocket comprises a sprocket element, a first shifting facilitation projection, and a second shifting facilitation projection. The sprocket element includes a rotational center axis, a sprocket body, and a plurality of sprocket teeth. The sprocket body includes a radially outer periphery disposed about the rotational center axis. The plurality of sprocket teeth are arranged on the radially outer periphery. The first shifting facilitation projection is coupled to the sprocket element to engage with an inner link plate of a bicycle chain when the bicycle chain is shifted from a smaller sprocket to the bicycle sprocket. The second shifting facilitation projection is coupled to the sprocket element to engage with an outer link plate of the bicycle chain when the bicycle chain is shifted from the smaller sprocket to the bicycle sprocket.

A sprocket assembly which is either driven by a drive chain or which drives the drive chain includes a hub centered about a sprocket axis and defining a hub radially outer surface; a plurality of sprocket teeth extending radially outward from the hub; and a cushion ring assembly adjacent to the plurality of sprocket teeth and circumferentially surrounding the hub radially outer surface. The cushion ring assembly includes a cushion ring adjacent to the plurality of sprocket teeth and circumferentially surrounding the hub radially outer surface; the cushion ring being resilient and compliant. The cushion ring assembly also each includes a retention ring which is partially embedded within the cushion ring and which engages the hub radially outer surface in an interference fit, the retention ring providing axial and radial retention of the cushion ring to the hub.

A chainring is disclosed herein. The chainring includes a front surface, a back surface, a center, and an outer diameter. The chainring has a thickness which varies from a lesser thickness at the outer diameter to a greater thickness nearer the center. The thickness of the chainring varying substantially the same on the front surface and the back surface such that the chainring is substantially symmetric about a plane dividing the front surface and the back surface along a direction normal to an axial direction of the chainring.
