    Abstract: A bicycle sprocket comprises a sprocket body, a plurality of sprocket teeth, and at least one chain-curvature limiting protuberance. The sprocket body is configured to be rotatable about a rotational center axis. The plurality of sprocket teeth extend radially outward from an outer periphery of the sprocket body. The at least one chain-curvature limiting protuberance is configured to limit axial curvature of a bicycle chain engaging with an independent neighboring bicycle sprocket which is adjacent to the bicycle sprocket without another sprocket between the bicycle sprocket and the independent neighboring bicycle sprocket. The axial curvature is curvature of the bicycle chain relative to the bicycle sprocket when viewed from a radial direction perpendicular to the rotational center axis. The at least one chain-curvature limiting protuberance is disposed on at least one of an outward facing side and an inward facing side.

    Abstract: A bicycle sprocket comprises a sprocket body, a plurality of sprocket teeth, and at least one upshifting facilitation area. The plurality of sprocket teeth extends radially outwardly from the sprocket body with respect to the rotational center axis. The plurality of sprocket teeth includes at least one axially recessed upshifting initiation tooth. The at least one axially recessed upshifting initiation tooth includes a driving surface, a non-driving surface and a tooth tip portion. The non-driving surface includes a non-driving surface protrusion disposed radially inwardly from a non-driving surface side tooth tip end with respect to a rotational center axis. The non-driving surface protrusion has a protrusion tip disposed closer to the second axially-facing surface than the non-driving-surface-side tooth tip end in the axial direction so that a guiding slope extends from the protrusion tip toward the first axially-facing surface.

    Abstract: A bicycle chain comprises a first outer link plate and a second outer link plate. A first outer-link longitudinal axis extends through a first outer-link center axis and a second outer-link center axis to divide a first outer surface into a first side and a second side when viewed in an axial direction. A second outer-link longitudinal axis extends through a third outer-link center axis and a fourth outer-link center axis to divide a second outer surface into a third side and a fourth side when viewed in the axial direction. The fourth side includes a first circumferential area and a first chamfer free area. The first circumferential area has a first angle equal to or larger than 20 degrees. The first chamfer free area is adjacent to the first circumferential area. At least one second chamfer is provided outside the first chamfer free area.
