Abstract: A master communication apparatus comprises a master wired communicator, a master wireless communicator, and a master controller. The master wired communicator is configured to communicate with a slave wired communicator of a slave communication apparatus in the human-powered vehicle via a wired communication channel. The master wireless communicator is configured to communicate with a slave wireless communicator of the slave communication apparatus via a wireless communication channel. The master controller is configured to transmit, via one of the master wired communicator and the master wireless communicator, a control signal to control a component of the human-powered vehicle. The master controller is configured to control the master wired communicator and the master wireless communicator in accordance with a priority order. The master controller is configured to set the priority order in accordance with information relating to the master communication apparatus and the slave communication apparatus.

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 for controlling a transmission ratio between a traction means and a sprocket set rotatable about an axle may include at least two sprockets alternatively wrapped around by the traction means. At least one of the sprockets may include several independently adjustable rim segments. Adjustment of the rim segments in relation to a fixed plane may be effected by a control device in a direction substantially transverse to the plane. The control device includes at least one electrically actuatable control element, e.g., a servomotor. The at least one control element is configured to rotate with the sprockets.

Abstract: A bicycle control device is configured to be mounted on a handlebar and control a bicycle component. The bicycle control device includes a casing, a first switch assembly and a first lever. The casing is configured to be mounted on the handlebar and having an accommodation space. The first switch assembly is disposed in the accommodation space of the casing and configured to be electrically connected to the bicycle component. The first lever is pivotally disposed on the casing so as to be pivotable along a first direction to activate the first switch assembly and be pivotable along a second direction opposite to the first direction to activate the first switch assembly.

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.
