A bicycle rear derailleur comprises a base member, a linkage structure, a movable member, a first pulley assembly, and a second pulley assembly. The first pulley assembly includes a first pulley support and a first toothed pulley. The first pulley support is pivotally coupled to the movable member about a first pivot axis. The first toothed pulley is rotatably coupled to the first pulley support about a first pulley axis spaced apart from the first pivot axis. The second pulley assembly includes a second pulley support, a second toothed pulley, and a third toothed pulley. The second pulley support is pivotally coupled to the movable member about a second pivot axis. The second toothed pulley is rotatably coupled to the second pulley support about a second pulley axis. The third toothed pulley is rotatably coupled to the second pulley support about a third pulley axis.

The derailleur has a damper that breaks the angular movements of a chain guide. Variable volume chambers in the damper are filled with a damping fluid and connected through a controlled fluid passage system so that fluid flows between chambers in response to angular movement of the chain guide. The damper comprises a dividing body in a mobile body coaxial to the axis X, mechanically constrained so that each rotation of the dividing body about the axis X is accompanied by a translation of the dividing body along the axis X. The dividing body is mechanically constrained to the chain guide and moves with it in the angular direction about the axis X. The chambers are formed in the mobile body on opposite sides of the dividing body and change volume in opposite directions when the dividing body moves along the axis X.

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 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.

A rear derailleur of a bicycle includes a fixing portion connected to a frame of the bicycle, a linkage assembly, a moving portion, a chain guide assembly, and a driving assembly. The linkage assembly is pivotally connected to the fixing portion. The moving portion is pivotally connected to the linkage assembly. The chain guide assembly is connected to the moving portion. The driving assembly includes a motor and a driving gear assembly connected to the linkage assembly. The motor includes an output shaft for driving the driving gear assembly. The output shaft of the motor drives the linkage assembly to pivot via the driving gear assembly, thereby to drive the moving portion and the chain guide assembly to move. A pivot shaft and a detachable battery module are disposed on the moving portion. The chain guide assembly is pivotally connected to the pivot shaft. The battery module provides an electric power to the motor.

A shifting control device comprises a controller configured to control an actuator of a gear shifting device to arrange a chain guide of the gear shifting device on a plurality of gear positions. The controller is configured to control the actuator to temporarily arrange the chain guide on a first temporary position in a multistage gear shift operation before stopping the chain guide at the first target gear position. The controller is configured to temporarily arrange the chain guide on a second temporary position in a single gear shift operation before stopping the chain guide at the second target gear position. The first temporary position is offset from the second temporary position in the gear shift direction if the first target gear position is the first target gear position and the second target gear position correspond to the same gear position of the plurality of gear positions.

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.

A bicycle gearshift is operated by imposing on the chain guide a primary displacement in the axial direction with respect to a cogset, to move the chain between the sprockets. Simultaneously with imposing on the primary displacement imposing on the chain guide a secondary displacement in the radial direction with respect to the cogset. The secondary displacement is of a greater size when the primary displacement takes place in the area of the cogset with the larger sprockets whereas it is of a smaller size when the primary displacement takes place in the area of the cogset with the smaller sprockets.
