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.

The disclosure describes an electromechanical rear derailleur for coaxial mounting on a rear wheel axis. The rear derailleur has a base member, a pivot mechanism, a movable member having a chain guiding arrangement, and an electromechanical drive for driving the pivot mechanism. The pivot mechanism connects the base member to the movable member. The chain guiding arrangement is connected to the movable member for rotation about an axis of rotation. The base member comprises a first connection end, which can be mounted coaxially with the rear wheel axis, and a second connection end for coupling with the pivot mechanism.

A rear derailleur of a bicycle is disclosed. The rear derailleur includes a four-bar linkage. A fixing pin is received in a blind inner cavity of a base body and a fixing screw is constrained to a frame. A spring loading insert is arranged in the blind inner cavity. The base body is rotatable with respect to the spring loading insert. Connection members are inserted in seats formed on the fixing screw and on the spring loading insert to axially constrain the fixing screw and the spring loading insert. A toothed sector is mounted coaxially to the spring loading insert and is active on a sprocket which is active on the base body. A torsion spring is active between the spring loading insert and the toothed sector and is configured to constrain the spring loading insert and the toothed sector in rotation during controlled movements of the chain guide.

A rear derailleur is provided for a bicycle. The rear derailleur has an upper alignment assembly and a lower alignment assembly pivotally connected via a linkage assembly. The upper alignment assembly is pivotally attached to the bicycle along a b-knuckle mounting axis, and the upper alignment assembly includes a motor assembly to pivot the upper alignment assembly along an upper rotatable axis that is generally perpendicular to the b-knuckle mounting axis. The lower alignment assembly is pivotally attached to a pulley assembly along a p-knuckle mounting axis, and the lower alignment assembly includes a motor assembly to pivot the lower alignment assembly along a lower rotatable axis that is generally perpendicular to the p-knuckle mounting axis.

A rear gearshift mechanism for installation on a bicycle frame coaxial with a rear-wheel axis has a base element, a pivot mechanism, a movable element and a chain guide. The base element includes an attachment end for installation on the bicycle frame. A first arm and a second arm of the attachment end are arranged spaced apart from one another in an axial direction and, by an associated adapter which has a thread, are configured for the installation of the gearshift mechanism on an associated bracket portion, in particular a dropout or frame hanger. The first arm is arranged on an inner side of the bracket portion, and the second arm is arranged on an outer side of the bracket portion. The base element is designed with a setting device by which the base element can be pivoted in a chain tensioning direction.
