Abstract: A bicycle gear hub includes an axle, planetary gear modules, one-way clutches and a shift mechanism. The planetary gear modules are connected in series at the axle. The shift mechanism includes a shift actuator and control pawls movably disposed at different positions of the axle. The shift actuator includes recess portions to control opening and closing of a control protrusion of one control pawl, and further to control a sun gear of the corresponding planetary gear module to the axle. When a high gear is shifted to a low gear, a rotational direction of the shift actuator is identical to a rotational direction for closing the control pawl.

Abstract: A bicycle component controller is basically provided with a data storage device and a processor. The data storage device contains sprocket assembly information of at least one sprocket assembly. The processor is configured to perform a gear shift control based on the sprocket assembly information. The sprocket assembly information of the at least one sprocket assembly at least includes a total sprocket number and shifting gate information. The single shifting distance of the sprocket assembly information corresponds to an axial spacing between adjacent sprockets of the at least one sprocket assembly.

Abstract: Provided is a saddle-ride type vehicle, which does not reduce cooling efficiency of an engine, is hardly affected by heat from the engine, and can increase a degree of freedom of configuration such as the orientation at the time of arrangement, size and shape of a shift actuator. The saddle-ride type vehicle (100) includes the engine (120), and the engine (120) has a cylinder block (120a), a cylinder head (120b) and a head cover (120c) and has a crankcase (123) below the cylinder block (120a). The saddle-ride type vehicle (100) also includes a shift drum drive unit (140) for rotating a shift drum (136) which changes a gear train (133) in a transmission (132). The shift drum drive unit (140) includes a shift actuator (141) formed of an electric motor, and a decelerator (142). The shift drum drive unit (140) is attached to a front surface of the crankcase (123) below the cylinder block (120a) via a unit case (146) housing the decelerator (142).
