A system for a bicycle includes a plurality of controller devices. A type of controller device is the same for two or more controller devices of the plurality of controller devices. The system includes a pairing coordinator device configured to receive a respective device type identification from each controller device, and identify the type of controller device for the two or more controller devices based on the received device type identifications for the two or more controller devices. Based on the identification of the type of controller device, the pairing coordinator device is configured to update the device type identifications for the two or more controller devices, respectively, such that the updated device type identifications are different than each other. The pairing coordinator device is configured to pair only controller devices of the plurality of controller devices having different respective device type identifications with the pairing coordinator device.

A bicycle derailleur includes a base member mountable to a bicycle frame and a cage assembly moveably coupled to the base member. One or both of a motor and/or electrical generator system may be coupled to and moveable with the cage assembly. The motor is operable to move the cage assembly. The electrical generator system includes a generator and a generator drive system.

The electrical generator system includes a generator and a generator drive system. An energy storage device, spaced apart from the cage assembly, may be connected to the electrical generator system and/or motor with a flexible electrical conductor.

A bicycle rear derailleur is configured to be mounted on a wheel shaft on a bicycle frame. The bicycle rear derailleur includes a base component, a movable component, a linkage assembly, a chain guide, and a mount assembly. The base component is configured to be mounted on the bicycle frame. Two opposite ends of the linkage assembly are pivotally disposed on the base component and the movable component respectively. The chain guide is pivotally disposed on the movable component. The mount assembly includes an adapter, a bushing, and a fastener. The adapter is configured to be fixed on the bicycle frame. The base component is stacked on the adapter. The bushing is configured to be disposed through the bicycle frame, the adapter and the base component and is configured for an insertion of the wheel shaft. The fastener is fastened on the bushing.

A chain tensioner device includes: a threaded bolt (3) for adjusting tension on a chain, that remains inserted in a part (4) integral with the wheel shaft (5), arranged in horizontal position, so that the tip (3a) of the bolt (3), presses on a second part (6) integral at the opposite end of the gear, so that tightening or loosening the bolt (3) determines a gap between both parts (4, 6) to regulate the tension and a discretization mechanism of the gap between the first part (4) and the second part (6) that includes at least a retractable element (8) either in the bolt (3) or in the first part (4) that contacts and is fitted in one of the series of slots (11) provided either in the bolt (3) or in the first part (4) so that it is possible to know the tightening or loosening of the bolt (3) applicable in each action.

A bicycle rear derailleur includes a base member including a mounting portion configured to be attached to a bicycle frame, the mounting portion having a mounting opening through which a central axis of a hub axle passes in a mounting state of the bicycle rear derailleur. The mounting portion includes a single joint or is free of any joint. Also included is a movable member movably coupled relative to the base member and a linkage structure operatively connecting the movable member to the base member. Also included is at least one of a motor, a first wireless communication unit, and an electrical connector. The at least one of the motor, the first wireless communication unit, and the electrical connector are disposed on at least one of the base member, the movable member, and the linkage structure.

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.
