Device for mounting a derailleur of a rear gearshift on a bicycle frame
A device for mounting a derailleur of a rear gearshift on a bicycle frame is provided. The device includes a pin suitable for being fixed in a corresponding seat of said bicycle frame, an annular seat formed on said pin, a support body of said derailleur, a through hole formed in said support body and crossed by said pin, an abutment element associated with said pin in said annular seat, wherein said abutment element provides a support in the axial direction on said pin. Said abutment element comprises a first and a second component, which are shaped like an annular sector and that can be connected together through respective shaped attachment portions.
BICYCLE DERAILLEUR
A bicycle derailleur includes a base member mountable to a bicycle frame and having first and second laterally spaced mounting portions defining first and second planes, and a space therebetween dimensioned to receive a portion of the bicycle frame. A first mounting arrangement defines a first pivot axis oriented at an acute angle relative to the first and second planes. A second mounting arrangement defines a second pivot axis parallel to the first pivot axis. A first link is pivotally connected to the first mounting arrangement and a second link is pivotally connected to the second mounting arrangement. A moveable member is pivotally connected to the first and second links. A battery may be mounted on the base member and electrically connected with a motor carried by the moveable member.
ELECTROMECHANICAL REAR DERAILLEUR
An electromechanical rear derailleur is provided for a bicycle, including a base member for attachment to the bicycle. A movable member has a cage assembly attached thereto. A linkage is provided that couples the movable member to the base member and operative to enable movement of the movable member relative to the base member in a direction substantially parallel to the mounting axis. A power source powers an motor module connected thereto to move the movable member and elements thereon.
Damper for a bicycle component
A bicycle rear derailleur includes a movable member and a chain guide assembly rotatably connected to the movable member. The bicycle rear derailleur also includes a pivot member non-rotatably coupled to the chain guide assembly and having an outer annular surface, a biasing device configured to bias the chain guide assembly in a first rotational direction relative to the movable member, and a damper device disposed between the chain guide assembly and the movable member. The damper device is operable to apply a damping force to the chain guide assembly when the chain guide assembly rotates in a second rotational direction relative to the movable member. The damper device includes a friction device that is radially inner relative to the biasing device. The friction device includes a friction member having at least one friction surface biased against and in frictional engagement with the pivot member.

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.
Suspension enhancing hub and rear derailleur assembly
An electronic automatically decoupling hub assembly is disclosed herein. The decoupling hub assembly has an axle and a hub shell rotationally positioned about the axle. A controller provides automatic activation/deactivation signals to an inductor. The decoupling hub assembly has a bearing rotationally positioned about the axle and a cassette body assembly, having a plurality of teeth, rotationally positioned about the bearing. One or more pawls are provided to engage with at least some of the teeth of the cassette body assembly and a seal is used to contain the pawls within the decoupling hub assembly. A cassette body assembly is coupled with the ratchet ring and an end cap is used to prevent a contaminant from entering into the decoupling hub assembly.
BICYCLE GEARSHIFT
A bicycle gearshift including a first body associated with a bicycle frame, a second body connected to, and moveable relative to, the first body, a rocker arm rotatably connected to the second body at a rotation axis, and a shaft extending coaxially to this axis and fixedly associated with the rocker arm. A unidirectional rotation device is arranged between the shaft and second body to allow rotation of the shaft relative to the second body only in a first rotation direction. An elastic element is associated with the second body and the rocker arm to push the rocker arm in rotation about the axis in the first rotation direction. A damping device is arranged between the shaft and unidirectional rotation device to generate a friction force when the rocker arm is rotated in a second, opposite rotation direction, and has a friction surface in contact with the unidirectional rotation device.

STABILIZER
The present invention provides a stabilizer, which comprises a receiving device; a guide plate element for connection with a chain, the guide plate element being movably mounted on the receiving device and performing a rotation state through an elastic element; and a clutch device mounted on the receiving device and connected with the guide plate element and used for providing one-way resistance when the guide plate element moves relative to the receiving device. When a vehicle body jounces, the guide plate element rotates upwardly under force, the chain is tensioned, and the clutch device is in a free rotation state. When the guide plate element moves towards an opposite direction under an action of force, the clutch device provides one-way resistance, so that the guide plate element can maintain a tensioning state of the chain for a longer time, and the effect of stabilizing the chain is achieved.
