    Abstract: A method for shifting a segmented gear may include rotating a gear cluster including a first gear and a coaxial second gear using a power transfer mechanism (e.g., a belt or a chain). The power transfer mechanism defines a plane and is wrapped partially around the first gear. and wherein the first gear has a plurality of gear segments independently movable (e.g., pivotable or translatable) into and out of the plane. A plurality of radially transitionable sliders are rotated in tandem with the first gear, and each of the sliders is operatively coupled to a corresponding one of the gear segments of the first gear. In sequence, each segment of the first gear is moved out of the plane of the power transfer mechanism by urging the slider in a radial direction using a segment actuator, such that the power transfer mechanism wraps at least partially around the second gear.

    Abstract: A human-powered vehicle component includes an antenna, an amplifier, communicator and an electronic controller. The antenna performs at least one of reception of a predetermined signal from at least one communication device separate from the component and transmission of the predetermined signal to the communication device. The amplifier amplifies the predetermined signal in intensity. The communicator performs at least one of reception of the predetermined signal via the amplifier and transmission of the predetermined signal via the amplifier. The electronic controller controls the amplifier in accordance with an amplification control state that includes a first amplification control state, a second amplification control state in which the amplifier consumes more power than in the first amplification control state, and a third amplification control state in which the amplifier consumes more power than in the second amplification control state.

    Abstract: A control device includes a housing having a base portion and an extension portion. The base portion of the housing has an inward facing side and an outward facing side. The control device includes a lever coupled to and pivotable relative to the housing, and a master cylinder portion supported by the housing. The master cylinder portion has a hollow fluid cylinder. The control device also includes a piston assembly supported by the housing. The piston assembly is movable relative to the master cylinder portion. At least part of the piston assembly is disposed within the master cylinder portion. The master cylinder portion is angled relative to the outward facing side of the base portion of the housing, such that the first end of the fluid cylinder is closer to the outward facing side than the second end of the fluid cylinder is relative to the outward facing side.
