The disclosure provides a bicycle front derailleur configured to be mounted on a bicycle frame. The bicycle front derailleur includes a fixed component, a chain guide, a linkage assembly, and an adjustment component. The fixed component is configured to be mounted on the bicycle frame. Two opposite ends of the linkage assembly are respectively and pivotably disposed on the fixed component and the chain guide. The adjustment component is pivotably disposed on the fixed component. The adjustment component is configured to press against the bicycle frame so as to adjust a position of the bicycle front derailleur with respect to the bicycle frame.

A gearbox may include a drive spindle and several interconnected gear clusters arranged in a housing. A first of the gear clusters is coaxially fastened to the spindle, and has an outboard gear and an inboard gear. The first gear cluster drives a belt or chain to operate one or more of the other gear clusters, and the inboard gear is physically divided into a plurality of segments. A shifting system for the gearbox includes an actuator configured to urge the segments of the inboard gear of the first gear cluster into and out of the plane of the belt or chain via a toggle and slider mechanism, such that a gear ratio of the gearbox is changeable without displacing the belt or chain out of the plane.

An electric front derailleur is basically provided with a base, a chain guide, a linkage and an electric motor unit. The base is configured to be mounted to a bicycle. The chain guide is configured to guide a chain. The linkage movably couples the chain guide to the base in a forward-rearward direction to move the chain guide between a retracted position and an extended position in a mounted state where the base is mounted to the bicycle. The electric motor unit is supported on the base and operatively coupled to the linkage to move the chain guide between the retracted position and the extended position. The electric motor unit is arranged at least partly closer to the bicycle than the chain guide.

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.

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.
