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.

A bicycle derailleur includes a base element, a movable element having a receptacle and movably coupled to the base element, a rotary shaft mounted in the movable element in the receptacle to be rotatable about an axis of rotation, and a chain guide assembly rotatable relative to the movable element about the axis of rotation and which is coupled rotationally conjointly to the rotary shaft. An elastic force store device exerts on the chain guide assembly a preload force which preloads said chain guide assembly in a direction of rotation relative to the movable element. A damping device acts directly or indirectly between the movable element and the chain guide assembly and has a coupling device arranged radially within the first elastic force store device by which the damping device is coupled to a support, which is static in relation to the movable element, and the rotary shaft.

Bicycle derailleur

A bicycle derailleur includes a lower link member including a position-limiting structure, an external chain-guiding member, a damping shaft, a connection member and a C-shape spring. The external chain-guiding member, connected pivotally with the lower link member, controls a tension of a chain. The connection member is connected with the lower link member. The damping shaft, mounted at one side of the lower link member, is connected pivotally with the external chain-guiding member. The C-shape spring, sleeving the damping shaft, includes a C-clip portion and a first plate portion disposed between the connection member and the position-limiting structure. The first plate portion is extended outward from one end of the C-clip portion in a direction leaving the damping shaft. A friction force upon the external chain-guiding member in the direction to relax the chain is greater than that in the direction to relax the chain.
