A multiple bicycle rear sprocket assembly includes first and second sprockets. The first sprocket includes a plurality of first sprocket teeth. The first sprocket teeth include at least one first tooth having a first maximum axial width for engaging with an outer link plate of the chain, and at least one second tooth having a second maximum axial width for engaging with an inner link plate of the chain. The first maximum axial width is larger than the second maximum axial width. The second sprocket includes a plurality of second sprocket teeth. The second sprocket is smaller than the first sprocket. The second sprocket teeth have additional second teeth only. The additional second teeth are configured for engaging with the inner link plate of the chain. The first maximum axial width is larger than a maximum axial width of each of the additional second teeth.

A bicycle sprocket comprises a sprocket body and a plurality of sprocket teeth provided on an outer periphery of the sprocket body and including at least one first tooth and at least one second tooth. The at least one first tooth has a driving surface side and a non-driving surface side. The at least one first tooth has a bevel cut shape in the non-driving surface side. The bevel cut shape is configured to avoid initially engaging with a bicycle chain in a shifting operation where the bicycle chain shifts from an adjacent smaller bicycle sprocket to the bicycle sprocket. The at least one second tooth is configured to initially engage with the bicycle chain in the shifting operation. The at least one second tooth is disposed adjacent to the at least one first tooth in a circumferential direction with respect to a rotational center axis of the bicycle sprocket.

A bicycle guard is provided that has a minimal number of parts required for mounting. A drive unit is provided with the bicycle guard. The bicycle guard includes a first attaching part and a housing. The first attaching part is configured to be attached to a first connection part that connects a bicycle frame. The housing is configured to rotatably support a crankshaft.

A bicycle front sprocket comprises a sprocket body and at least one sprocket tooth. The sprocket body includes a crank arm mounting portion including a first mounting axial surface facing toward an axial bicycle-center plane in an axial direction in a state where the bicycle front sprocket is mounted to the bicycle frame. The at least one sprocket tooth has a first chain-engagement axial surface facing toward the axial bicycle-center plane in the axial direction in a state where the bicycle front sprocket is mounted to the bicycle frame. The first chain-engagement axial surface is offset from the first mounting axial surface toward the axial bicycle-center plane in the axial direction. An axial distance is defined from the first mounting axial surface to the first chain-engagement axial surface in the axial direction and is equal to or larger than 6 mm.

A bicycle sprocket assembly comprises a sprocket support member. The sprocket support member comprises a central cylindrical portion and a plurality of sprocket support portions. The plurality of sprocket support portions extends radially outwardly from the central cylindrical portion with respect to a rotational center axis of the bicycle sprocket assembly. At least one sprocket support portion of the plurality of sprocket support portions comprises at least one radially extending surface, at least one axially extending surface, and an interior cavity. The at least one radially extending surface extends radially relative to the rotational center axis to support at least one of the at least one sprocket. The at least one axially extending surface extends in an axial direction parallel to the rotational center axis.

A bicycle sprocket assembly comprises a sprocket support member and a reinforcement member. The sprocket support member is configured to support a sprocket. The sprocket support member includes a central cylindrical portion and at least one sprocket support portion extending radially outwardly from the central cylindrical portion with respect to a rotational center axis of the bicycle sprocket assembly. The sprocket support member is made of a non-metallic material. The reinforcement member is provided in the central cylindrical portion to reinforce the central cylindrical portion in a circumferential direction about the rotational center axis.

A cinch direct mount 2? ring system is disclosed. One embodiment discloses a chainring assembly having a drive side crank arm with a chainring assembly interface including a plurality of splines, a circumference, and an axial length. The chainring assembly includes a first chainring having a first outer diameter and a first center assembly shape. The chainring assembly includes a second chainring having a second outer diameter and a second center assembly shape, the second outer diameter being different than the first outer diameter. The chainring assembly also includes a fastener to couple the first chainring and the second chainring with the chainring assembly interface, such that at least one of the first center assembly shape or the second center assembly shape engages with the plurality of splines.

An assembly for minimizing the disengagement of a chain from a chain ring is disclosed. The assembly includes an inboard leg and an outboard leg. The outboard leg is configured to slide vertically relative to the inboard leg. A fastener passes through the inboard leg and outboard leg and defines the upper and lower limit of sliding of the outboard leg.

A bicycle sprocket comprises a first sprocket body, first sprocket teeth, a first side surface, a second side surface, at least one shifting facilitation projection, at least one guide portion, and at least one recess. The at least one guide portion is provided on a first side surface to guide a bicycle chain from the bicycle sprocket toward a smaller sprocket in a second shifting operation. The at least one recess is provided on the first side surface so as to be adjacent to the at least one guide portion in a circumferential direction defined about a rotational center axis. At least one of the at least one recess is provided in an upstream angular area defined from the at least one shifting facilitation projection to an upstream side in a driving state and within 90 degrees in the circumferential direction.
