A bicycle seatpost system comprises an electric actuator, a remote controller, and a seatpost controller. The electric actuator is to change a state of a bicycle seatpost assembly between a lock state where a total length of the bicycle seatpost assembly is invariable, and an adjustable state where the total length of the bicycle seatpost assembly is variable. The remote controller is configured to transmit a first control signal and a second control signal different from the first control signal. The seatpost controller is configured to control the electric actuator to change the state of the bicycle seatpost assembly to the adjustable state based on one of the first control signal and the second control signal.

GEAR CHANGER ADJUSTMENT AND DEVICE
20200346714 · 2020-11-05 · ·

In an adjustment mode for a derailleur of a bicycle, acceleration values from an accelerometer of the derailleur are sampled as the derailleur moves through sprockets of a rear sprocket assembly. Acceleration signal powers are identified based on the sampled acceleration values, and potential rasping positions are identified based on thresholding of the acceleration signal powers. The identified potential rasping positions are compared to expected rasping positions, and adjustment for the derailleur is set based on a minimum error between the identified potential rasping positions and the expected rasping positions.
