Bicycle wireless electronic derailleur
A bicycle wireless electronic derailleur, comprising a support body, a movable body, comprising a chain guide, actuation means configured to move the movable body with respect to the support body, comprising an electric motor, a controller of the electric motor, a wireless communication device, part of or in communication with the controller, configured to receive gearshifting request signals from a wireless transmitter and housed in a first casing, and a bicycle movement detector configured to emit a wake signal for the wireless communication device. The movement detector is at least partially housed in at least one second casing different from the first casing, and is in communication through at least one cable with the wireless communication device.

Automatic bicycle shifter and user interface
An automatic bicycle drivetrain shifting apparatus comprising a bicycle drive chain derailleur powered by a servo gearmotor slaved to an electronic control system and controlled through a highly adaptable user interface serving to automatically alternate drive chain position between available bicycle drive sprockets under user defined shifting criteria adaptable in real time to rider conditioning, comfort level and road conditions thereby alleviating manual shifting tasks and achieving optimal pedal rate and effort settings for the rider.
REAR DERAILLEUR
A bicycle derailleur mechanism is provided which accommodates larger radial spacing and/or smaller radial spacing having a non-uniform value over the respective winding region. The derailleur mechanism cable pull transmission device may provide over its rotational angular range about the rotational axis, which is effective during operation, a variable transmission ratio as a function of the rotational position of the cable pull transmission device relative to the base component.

Bicycle derailleur
A bicycle derailleur is basically provided with a base member, a movable member, a link structure and a cable interactive structure. The link structure is configured to movably connect the movable member relative to the base member. The cable interactive structure is provided on the link structure. The cable interactive structure includes a chain barrier portion. The chain barrier portion is configured to prevent a chain from contacting the link structure.

DERAILLEUR HANGER
A bracket element configured for installation on an axial inner side of an associated bracket portion of a bicycle frame for the purposes of installing a rear gearshift mechanism of a derailleur system on the bicycle frame is provided. The bracket element may include a first portion, which has an opening or aperture assigned to the axle and which, in the installed state, is subjected to a clamping force which acts between the rear bracket portion. The bracket element may also include a second portion having an installation opening which is radially offset in relation to the opening or aperture in the installed state with respect to the axis and to which an attachment end of a base element of the rear gearshift mechanism is fixable
Rear derailleur for a bicycle
A rear derailleur is provided for mounting to a bicycle. An upper body operationally engages the rear derailleur to the bicycle, and a lower body operationally engages a chain cage engaging a chain of the bicycle. Upper and lower link arms are pivotally connected to the upper and lower bodies. The upper link arm includes an actuating arm extending downwardly from the upper link arm through an aperture of the lower link arm. A cable for actuating the derailleur operationally engages the actuating arm for moving the chain cage relative to the bicycle.
