    摘要: A bicycle chain comprises a first inner link plate and a second inner link plate. The first inner link plate comprises a first inner-link end portion, a second inner-link end portion, and a first inner-link intermediate portion. The second inner link plate comprises a third inner-link end portion, a fourth inner-link end portion, and a second inner-link intermediate portion. A first inner-link end edge has a first chamfer extending about the first inner-link center axis such that a part of the first chamfer is disposed in a first circumferential area defined from a first inner-link longitudinal centerline to a first reference line when viewed in an axial direction of the first inner-link center axis. The first circumferential area is smaller than 14 degrees.

    摘要: A bicycle sprocket includes a base body, a first sprocket tooth and a shifting initiation tooth. The first sprocket tooth includes a drive surface including a drive surface side tooth tip end portion, a non-drive surface including a non-drive surface side tooth tip end portion and a tooth tip portion connecting the drive surface side tooth tip end portion and the non-drive surface side tooth tip end portion. The non-drive surface extends circumferentially with respect to the rotational center axis from the non-drive surface side tooth tip end portion toward a first surface. The tooth tip portion extends circumferentially in a first direction between the drive surface side tooth tip end portion and the non-drive surface side tooth tip end portion. The non-drive surface extends circumferentially from the non-drive surface side tooth tip end portion in a second direction that is inclined with respect to the first direction.

    摘要: A bicycle rear sprocket assembly comprises a sprocket support and a first sprocket. The sprocket support includes a hub engagement part configured to engage with a bicycle hub assembly. The sprocket support includes a plurality of sprocket attachment members extending radially outwardly from the hub engagement part with respect to a rotational center axis of the bicycle rear sprocket assembly. The first sprocket is attached to the plurality of sprocket attachment members. The first sprocket includes a first sprocket body and a plurality of first sprocket teeth which extends radially outwardly from the first sprocket body with respect to the rotational center axis and a total number of which is equal to or larger than thirty-four. The first sprocket has a plurality of shifting facilitation areas. A total number of the plurality of shifting facilitation areas is a divisor of a total number of the plurality of sprocket attachment members.

    摘要: A derailleur comprises a base member, a movable member, a linkage structure, a pulley assembly, and a rotational force control structure configured to control rotational force of the pulley assembly relative to the movable member. The pulley assembly is pivotally movable relative to the movable member about a pivot axis in first and second directions. The pulley assembly is configured to move in the first direction upon moving from a second pivotal position toward a first pivotal position. The rotational force control structure includes a cam member having a first cam surface, an abutment member configured to abut the first cam surface, and a biasing member configured to bias the abutment member. The abutment member is configured to abut the first cam surface by the biasing member to apply first additional force to the pulley assembly in the first direction while the pulley assembly is in the first pivotal position.

    摘要: A bicycle sprocket comprises a sprocket body, a plurality of sprocket teeth, an axially outward protuberance, and an axially inward protuberance. The axially outward protuberance is disposed on an outward facing side of the sprocket body to overlap at least partly with a bicycle chain engaging with a neighboring bicycle sprocket when viewed along a rotational center axis. The axially inward protuberance is disposed on an inward facing side of the sprocket body to overlap at least partly with the axially outward protuberance when viewed along the rotational center axis.

    摘要: A bicycle rear sprocket comprises a sprocket body, a plurality of sprocket teeth, a shifting facilitation recess, and an upshifting facilitation projection. The plurality of sprocket teeth extends radially outwardly from the sprocket body. The shifting facilitation recess is to facilitate a shifting operation in which a bicycle chain is shifted between the bicycle rear sprocket and a smaller rear sprocket adjacent to the bicycle rear sprocket without another sprocket between the bicycle rear sprocket and the smaller rear sprocket. The upshifting facilitation projection is provided in the shifting facilitation recess to support the bicycle chain in an upshifting operation in which the bicycle chain is shifted from the bicycle rear sprocket to the smaller rear sprocket.

    摘要: A bicycle sprocket includes a sprocket body and a chain engagement structure. The sprocket body has a center rotational axis, a first side surface and a second side surface. The first and second side surfaces face oppositely with respect to an axial direction of the bicycle sprocket. The first side surface is a smaller sprocket facing side of the bicycle sprocket. The chain engagement structure includes a plurality of sprocket teeth extending radially outward from an outer periphery of the sprocket body. The sprocket teeth include at least one shift assist tooth having a recessed portion recessed from the first side surface toward the second side surface. A protuberance is formed in the recessed portion.
