Abstract:
A bicycle sprocket assembly comprises a sprocket support member and a reinforcement member. The sprocket support member is configured to support a sprocket. The sprocket support member includes a central cylindrical portion and at least one sprocket support portion extending radially outwardly from the central cylindrical portion with respect to a rotational center axis of the bicycle sprocket assembly. The sprocket support member is made of a non-metallic material. The reinforcement member is provided in the central cylindrical portion to reinforce the central cylindrical portion in a circumferential direction about the rotational center axis.
Abstract:
A bicycle front sprocket assembly is basically provided with a first sprocket, a second sprocket, a sprocket carrier and a chain guiding portion. The first sprocket includes a first sprocket body and a plurality of first sprocket teeth disposed on a first outer periphery of the first sprocket body, The second sprocket includes a second sprocket body and a plurality of second sprocket teeth. The second sprocket teeth are disposed on a second outer periphery of the second sprocket body. The sprocket carrier includes a torque transmitting profile and a sprocket mounting portion. The chain guiding portion is positioned between the first and second sprockets in an axial direction parallel to a rotational center axis of the bicycle front sprocket assembly. At least one of the first and second sprockets is mounted to the sprocket mounting portion of the sprocket carrier by a non-threaded fastener.
Abstract:
A bicycle crank arm is basically provided that includes a first structural member and a second structural member attached to the first structural member. The first structural member is made of a first material including a non-metallic material. The second structural member is made of a second material that is different from the first material.
Abstract:
A bicycle rear sprocket assembly comprises a plurality of sprocket members and a supporting member. The plurality of sprocket members have a rotational center axis. The plurality of sprocket members are arranged in an axial direction parallel to the rotational center axis. The plurality of sprocket members each include a sprocket body and a plurality of sprocket teeth. The plurality of sprocket teeth extend radially outwardly from the sprocket body with respect to the rotational center axis. The supporting member is a separate member from the plurality of sprocket members. The supporting member includes a supporting portion and a hub engagement portion. The supporting portion is configured to support the plurality of sprocket members. The sprocket body of each of the plurality of sprocket members is attached to the supporting portion of the supporting member without using a separate metallic fastening member.
Abstract:
A bicycle sprocket comprises a sprocket member and an attachment member. The sprocket member comprises a first annular portion, sprocket teeth and a first engaging portion. The first engaging portion is provided on an inner peripheral part of the first annular portion. The attachment member is configured to be bonded to the sprocket member and comprises a second annular portion and a second engaging portion. The second annular portion is provided radially inwardly of the first annular portion. The second engaging portion is configured to engage with the first engaging portion. One of the first engaging portion and the second engaging portion includes a protrusion. The other of the first engaging portion and the second engaging portion includes a groove extending in the circumferential direction. The protrusion is configured to be fitted in the groove.
Abstract:
A composite bicycle component comprises a first member, a second member, a bonding member, and an inner holding member. The first member is made of metallic material. The second member is made of non-metallic material. The first and second members are configured to form an interior cavity therebetween in a state where the first and second members are attached to each other. The bonding member is configured to attach the first and second members to each other. The inner holding member is configured to be disposed within the interior cavity so as to prevent the first and second members from being separated from each other until completion of attaching the first and second members to each other.
Abstract:
A composite bicycle component includes a first member made of a metallic material. The first member has a surface with a first dimple. The first dimple includes a second dimple that is formed on the first dimple. Preferably, the composite bicycle component further includes a second member attached to the first member so that a part of the second member extends into the first and second dimples.
