Chainring
A sprocket for engagement with a drive chain has a first and a second group of teeth, wherein the teeth of the first group and the second group are alternately arranged and each tooth of the second group is wider than each tooth of the first group. The profile of each tooth of the second group has a first protrusion in the front half of the tooth on a first lateral surface and a second protrusion in the rear half of the tooth on a second, opposite lateral surface of the tooth. In particular, the portion of each tooth of the second group engaging the chain may have a center plane that is rotated or twisted during forming about the radial center line of the tooth with respect to the central plane of the sprocket.
Rotationally-Engaging Two-Piece Upper Chain Guide
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. Rotation of the outboard leg relative to the inboard leg locks the inboard leg in place relative to the outboard leg. Relative rotation locks the assembly onto a shaft. The assembly may include an outboard leg that snaps into place on the inboard leg and is capable of rotating between two extreme positions.
Bicycle power supplying device and bicycle electric device including bicycle power supplying device
A bicycle power supplying device is configured to easily obtain the power needed to drive a subject electric component and a bicycle electric device that includes the bicycle power supplying device. The bicycle power supplying device includes a holder and a power storage unit. The holder holds a dry cell so that the dry cell is attachable to and removable from the holder. The dry cell includes a body, a first electrode arranged on the body, and a second electrode arranged on the body. The power storage unit is configured to store power of the dry cell and supply the stored power to a subject electric component.
Human-powered vehicle control device
A human-powered vehicle control device includes an electronic controller for controlling a transmission that changes a ratio of a rotational speed of a drive wheel to a rotational speed of a crank of the human-powered vehicle. The electronic controller switches the transmission from a first control state to a second control state in accordance with at least one of a human drive force, a rider's posture, a vehicle body attitude, a handle force, and a human-powered vehicle travel state, In the first control state, the electronic controller controls the transmission to change the ratio in accordance with an operation of a shift operating unit. In the second control state, irrespective of the operation of the shift operating unit, the electronic controller controls the transmission such that the ratio increases in accordance with the travel state of the human-powered vehicle and/or a travel environment of the human-powered vehicle.
BICYCLE FRONT DERAILLEUR AND BICYCLE REAR DERAILLEUR
The disclosure provides a bicycle front derailleur including a fixed component, a chain guide, a first link, a second link, and a driving assembly. Two opposite ends of the first link are respectively disposed on the fixed component and the chain guide. The two opposite ends of the second link are respectively disposed on the fixed component and the chain guide. The driving assembly includes a driving shaft, a push component, an output gear and a power source. The push component and the output gear are fixed on the driving shaft, the power source is disposed on the fixed component and connected to the output gear, the push component is in contact with the first link, and the power source is configured to drive the push component to pivot the first link with respect to the fixed component via the output gear and the driving shaft.
BICYCLE DERAILLEUR, CHAIN GUIDE ASSEMBLY AND STRUCTURAL REINFORCEMENT SHEET THEREOF
The disclosure provides a chain guide assembly configured to be mounted on a linkage assembly of a bicycle derailleur. The chain guide assembly includes an inner plate, an outer plate, a first connecting bridge and a second connecting bridge. The outer plate is spaced apart from the inner plate. Two opposite sides of the first connecting bridge are respectively connected to the inner plate and the outer plate. Two opposite sides of the second connecting bridge are respectively connected to the inner plate and the outer plate. The inner plate, the outer plate, the first connecting bridge, and the second connecting bridge are made of a single piece. In addition, the disclosure also provides a bicycle derailleur having the chain guide assembly and a structural reinforcement sheet of the chain guide assembly.
