A front derailleur actuation device having a cable-winding bush in a casing rotatable about axis (X) in a first angular direction (A) between a first angular position and a last two angular positions to actuate a member mounted rotatable about axis (X) and a stationary member mounted in the casing. Either the rotating member or the stationary member is provided with at least one pointer slidably engaged on a fastening track equipped with a plurality of stop areas provided on the other member. The stationary member or the rotating member provided with the fastening track further comprises at least one further stop area not arranged along the fastening track, said further stop area being engageable by the pointer and being arranged between two successive stop areas of said fastening track, the cable-winding bush passing between two angular positions following the passage of the pointer between two stop areas.

In an embodiment a hood release lever assembly includes a bracket and a hood release lever pivotally connected to the bracket, wherein the bracket includes a bracket body, a retention clip protruding from the bracket body, and a hooked rib located at a bottom end of the bracket body and wherein a free end of the hooked rib faces the retention clip.

A gear shifting system derailleur having a derailleur integrable with devices having a positionable chain, belt and/or a plurality of sprockets. The derailleur includes, a frame, a linear actuator having a housing, two bracket links and a damping element. The linear actuator includes a linearly positionable arm. The bracket links and a damping element are positioned and adapted to apply a biased force against the linearly positionable arm. The damping element is coupled with both the chain pulley and the bracket links, wherein the damping element positions the chain pulley within the derailleur as driven by the bracket links. Wireless and/or wired communications and control modules and pathways are provided to enable user control of the linearly positionable arm. The derailleur may be attached to or comprised within a vehicle, such as a bicycle, a tricycle or a vehicle with more wheels.

A seat dropper remote device has a base portion, central portion and paddle portion. The base portion has a mounting plate for mounting to a bar clamp on a bicycle handlebar and a base bolt hole. The mounting plate has a mounting slot to receive a mounting bolt. The central portion is connected with the base portion, receives an actuation cable, and includes a body having a body bolt hole. The device includes a paddle portion that is connected with the central portion, actuates the actuation cable, and has an assembly bolt cavity and an assembly bolt. The assembly bolt passes through the assembly bolt cavity, body bolt hole, and base bolt hole. The assembly bolt provides rotational adjustment of the paddle portion and the mounting bolt provides lateral adjustment of the paddle portion. The lateral adjustment, rotational adjustment, and actuation of the actuation cable operate independent of one another.
