Motor unit and derailleur
A motor unit comprises a torque limiter and a transmitting structure. The torque limiter includes a first member and a second member. The first member and the second member are movable relative to each other in a state where a torque applied to the torque limiter is equal to or higher than a torque threshold. The first member and the second member are movable together with each other in a state where the torque is lower than the torque threshold. The transmitting structure includes a first race, a second race, a first intermediate element at least partially provided between the first race and the second race, and a second intermediate element at least partially provided between the first race and the second race.
Bicycle rear derailleur
A bicycle rear derailleur is basically provided with a base member including a frame mounting portion having a mounting opening, and a fastening member extending through the mounting opening of the base member. The fastening member has a first threaded portion and a placement portion adjacent to the first threaded portion. An adjusting member is configured to adjust a position of the bicycle rear derailleur relative to a bicycle. An intermediate member includes a contact portion disposed between the adjusting member and the bicycle. The intermediate member has a second threaded portion configured to threadedly engage with the first threaded portion of the fastening member. The second threaded portion has an innermost diameter that is smaller than the outermost diameter of the first threaded portion. The intermediate member is disposed on the placement portion of the fastening member.

CHAIN GUIDE ASSEMBLY
The disclosure provides a chain guide assembly including a movable member, a chain guide and a resistance applying assembly. The chain guide is pivotably disposed on the movable member. The resistance applying assembly includes a shaft seat, a first engagement component, a control component and a second engagement component. The shaft seat includes a seat portion and a flange portion. The seat portion is fixed on the chain guide. The flange portion is located at a side of the seat portion away from the chain guide and protrudes from the seat portion. The seat portion is disposed through the first engagement component. The first engagement component is clamped by the flange portion and the chain guide. The control component is disposed on the movable member. The second engagement component is pivotably disposed on the movable member and movable with the control component.
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
Actuation device of the control cable of a bicycle derailleur
A bicycle gearshift cable control device that is rotatable about a control pin, in opposite angular directions, and has an indexer mounted coaxially to the control pin that defines a plurality of spaced apart, stable angular positions for the cable-winding bush. Elastic members that store elastic energy during a rotation of the control pin in one angular direction and release the stored elastic energy stored at the end of the rotation of the control pin are configured to cause a stroke recovery rotation of the control pin in the opposite angular direction during the release of the stored elastic energy. The stroke recovery rotation is smaller than the indexing angle that separates two adjacent stable positions of the cable-winding bush.

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.
