Sub-assembly sprocket-carrying body and cogset for a bicycle rear wheel, ring nut for fixing such a sub-assembly and method for fixing a cogset to a sprocket-carrying body
A bicycle rear wheel sub-assembly having a sprocket-carrying body, a cogset including a plurality of axially adjacent sprockets with at least three of the plurality of sprockets formed into a monolithic set and a ring nut securing the cogset to the sprocket-carrying body. The ring nut is formed as two parts assembled together—an axially outer first part on which a tubular body and a flange are formed, and an axially inner second part on which a threaded portion is formed. This structure provides a simple and effective coupling of the ring nut with the monolithic sub-set of the cogset and the sprocket-carrying body.

Bicycle sprocket assembly and bicycle sprocket
A bicycle sprocket assembly comprises a first sprocket and a second sprocket. The first sprocket includes a plurality of first sprocket teeth, a first sprocket inward surface, a first sprocket outward surface, and an axial space. The second sprocket includes a plurality of second sprocket teeth, a second sprocket inward surface, and a second sprocket outward surface. The axial space is defined between the first sprocket outward surface and an axially inward outer link plate in the axial direction while the second sprocket outward surface contacts an axially outward inner link plate in an engagement state where the one of the plurality of the second sprocket teeth is positioned between an axially inward inner link plate and the axially outward inner link plate in the axial direction. The axial space is larger than mm and equal to or smaller than 0.15 mm.
BICYCLE SPROCKET
A bicycle sprocket comprises a sprocket body, a plurality of sprocket teeth, and a torque transmitting profile. The sprocket body has an outer periphery and an inner periphery positioned radially inwardly from the outer periphery with respect to a rotational center axis of the bicycle sprocket. The plurality of sprocket teeth is disposed on the outer periphery of the sprocket body. The torque transmitting profile is positioned around the inner periphery of the sprocket body. The torque transmitting profile includes at least ten internal spline teeth. The at least ten internal spline-teeth include at least one first internal spline-tooth, at least one second internal spline-tooth and at least one third internal spline-tooth. The at least one internal first spline-tooth, the at least one second internal spline-tooth and the at least one third internal spline-tooth are different in shape from each other.

HUB-ASSEMBLY FOR HUMAN-POWERED VEHICLE
A hub assembly is provided for a human-powered vehicle. The hub assembly includes a hub axle, a hub body, a cable and a cable protector. The hub axle has a first axial end and a second axial end. The hub body is rotatably mounted on the hub axle to rotate around a rotational center axis of the hub assembly. The cable has a first portion disposed inside of the hub assembly and a second portion disposed outside of the hub assembly. The cable protector is movably arranged between a first position and a second position. The second portion of the cable extends along the rotational center axis where the cable protector is in the first position. The second portion of the cable being at least partly restrained in an angled position with respect to the rotational center axis where the cable protector is in the second position.

MOTOR DEVICE FOR AN ELECTRIC BICYCLE
A motor device for an electric bicycle may include an electric motor, a first connector unit, and/or a second connector unit. The electric motor may include an axis of rotation. The first connector unit may include a first motor connector and a first connecting part. The first connecting part may surround the first motor connector regionally and/or outwardly. The first connector unit may be mounted on the electric motor and may be electrically conductively connected to the electric motor via the first motor connector. The second connector unit may include a second motor connector and a second connecting part. An electrical conductive connection may be established and released directly between the first motor connector and the second motor connector.
Chain damper for a bicycle
A chain damper for use with a bicycle may include a base having an attachment region that is configured to be attached to a bicycle and a chain receiving portion extending from the base in a first direction. The chain receiving portion can include a chain damping surface that includes a resiliently deformable damping material and at least partially bounds a chain receiving aperture. The chain receiving aperture may extend in an axial direction and may be configured so that when the chain damper is attached to the bicycle the axial direction is substantially aligned with the primary chain direction and the chain damping surface is spaced apart from the chain travel path.
