    Abstract: A bicycle rear derailleur comprises a base member, a chain guide, an actuator, and a controller. The chain guide is movably coupled to the base member. The actuator is operatively coupled to the chain guide to move the chain guide relative to the base member. The controller is electrically connected to the actuator to move the chain guide relative to the base member from a current stop position to a target-stop position which is adjacent to the current stop position without another stop position between the current stop position and the target-stop position. The controller is configured to change, based on a front shift position of a front derailleur, at least one of the target-stop position and a temporary position in which the chain guide temporarily is in a shifting operation in which the chain guide moves from the current stop position to the target-stop position.

    Abstract: A hub is provided for a human-powered vehicle. The hub comprises a hub axle, a hub body, a sprocket support structure, a detected part and a rotation detection sensor. The hub axle has a center axis. The hub body is rotatably disposed around the center axis. The sprocket support structure is rotatably disposed around the center axis to transmit a driving force to the hub body while rotating in a driving rotational direction around the center axis. The detected part is provided to the sprocket support structure. The rotation detection sensor is configured to detect the detected part to detect rotation of the sprocket support structure around the center axis and being disposed in the hub body.

    Abstract: A derailleur for a human-powered vehicle comprises a base member, a movable member, a linkage, an electrical actuator, a first biasing member, and a second biasing member. The base member is configured to be attached to a vehicle body of the human-powered vehicle. The movable member is configured to be movable relative to the base member in a first direction and a second direction different from the first direction. The linkage is configured to movably connect the movable member to the base member. The electrical actuator is configured to operatively move the movable member relative to the base member. The first biasing member is configured to deform if first external force is applied to move the movable member in the first direction. The second biasing member is configured to deform if second external force is applied to move the movable member in the second direction.

    Abstract: A bicycle rear derailleur is basically provided with a base member including a frame mounting portion having a mounting opening, and a fastening member extending through the mounting opening of the base member. The fastening member has a first threaded portion and a placement portion adjacent to the first threaded portion. An adjusting member is configured to adjust a position of the bicycle rear derailleur relative to a bicycle. An intermediate member includes a contact portion disposed between the adjusting member and the bicycle. The intermediate member has a second threaded portion configured to threadedly engage with the first threaded portion of the fastening member. The second threaded portion has an innermost diameter that is smaller than the outermost diameter of the first threaded portion. The intermediate member is disposed on the placement portion of the fastening member.

    Abstract: A bicycle motor unit comprises an electric motor and a transmitting structure. The electric motor is configured to generate a driving force. The transmitting structure is coupled to the electric motor to transmit the driving force from the electric motor to an actuated device of a bicycle. The transmitting structure includes a first rotatable member, a second rotatable member, and a resisting structure. The first rotatable member is rotatable about a rotational axis. The second rotatable member is rotatable relative to the first rotatable member about the rotational axis. The resisting structure is at least partially provided radially between the first rotatable member and the second rotatable member with respect to the rotational axis so as to resist relative rotation between the first rotatable member and the second rotatable member.
