Abstract:
A bicycle hub assembly comprises a sprocket support body. The sprocket support body includes at least ten external spline teeth, a base support, and a larger-diameter part. The at least ten external spline teeth are configured to engage with a bicycle rear sprocket assembly. The at least ten external spline teeth radially outwardly extend from the base support. The larger-diameter part extends radially outwardly from the base support. Each of the at least ten external spline teeth has an external-spline driving surface and an external-spline non-driving surface.
Abstract:
A bicycle rear sprocket adapter comprises a plurality of external spline teeth and a plurality of internal spline teeth. The plurality of external spline teeth is configured to engage with a bicycle rear sprocket assembly. The plurality of internal spline teeth is configured to engage with a bicycle hub assembly. At least two internal spline teeth of the plurality of internal spline teeth are circumferentially arranged at a first internal pitch angle with respect to a rotational center axis of the bicycle hub assembly. The first internal pitch angle ranges from 10 degrees to 20 degrees.
Abstract:
A bicycle hub assembly comprises a hub axle, a hub body, and a sprocket support body. The hub body includes a first spoke-mounting portion, a second spoke-mounting portion, and a first axial length. The first axial length is defined between a first axially outermost part of the first spoke-mounting portion and a second axially outermost part of the second spoke-mounting portion in an axial direction and is equal to or larger than 55 mm. The sprocket support body includes a plurality of external spline teeth. The plurality of external spline teeth includes a plurality of external-spline driving surfaces. The plurality of external-spline driving surfaces each includes a radial length defined from a radially outermost edge to a radially innermost edge. A total of the radial lengths of the plurality of external-spline driving surfaces is equal to or larger than 7 mm.
Abstract:
A wheel securing axle includes a shaft that includes a first end portion, a second end portion including a thread, and a shaft axis, a washer rotationally supported by the first end portion of the shaft, and a click mechanism arranged between the shaft and the washer.
Abstract:
A bicycle hub assembly comprises a hub axle, a hub shell, a sprocket support body, a first ratchet member, a second ratchet member, and a spacer. The hub shell includes at least one first tooth. The sprocket support body includes a first helical spline. The first ratchet member comprises at least one first ratchet tooth and a second helical spline engaged with the first helical spline. The second ratchet member comprises at least one second ratchet tooth and at least one second tooth. The at least one second tooth is engaged with the at least one first tooth. The spacer is at least partly provided between the at least one first tooth and the at least one second tooth in a circumferential direction defined about a rotational axis. The spacer includes a non-metallic material.
Abstract:
A bicycle transmission apparatus comprises a base member, an input shaft, a first transmission member, a second transmission member, and a first coupling member. The base member is configured to be attached to a bicycle frame as a separate member from the bicycle frame. The first transmission member is rotatable relative to the base member about a first rotational axis different from the input rotational axis. The second transmission member is rotatable relative to the base member about a second rotational axis different from each of the input rotational axis and the first rotational axis. The first coupling member is configured to couple the first transmission member to the second transmission member to transmit rotation of the first transmission member to the second transmission member at a variable speed stage.
Abstract:
A force-distributing apparatus for a bicycle wheel spoke includes a force-distributing body having a free-end first surface and a second surface disposed at an opposite side of the first surface. The force-distributing body has a spoke-receiving opening that extends through the first surface, wherein the spoke-receiving opening is formed eccentrically in the force-distributing body.
Abstract:
A brake pad for a bicycle includes a friction member and a support plate. The friction member configured to contact a disc in a state in which the brake pad is installed in a caliper on the bicycle. The support plate supports the friction member and includes a mounting hole. The mounting hole has a first dimension in a first direction parallel to a radial direction of the disc in a state in which the brake pad is installed in the caliper on the bicycle. The mounting hole has a second dimension in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction, and the second dimension is larger than the first dimension.
Abstract:
A sprocket support comprises at least ten internal spline teeth configured to engage with a bicycle hub assembly. The at least ten internal spline teeth of the sprocket support includes at least ten internal-spline driving surfaces. The at least ten internal-spline driving surfaces each include a radially outermost edge and a radially innermost edge. A radial length is defined from the radially outermost edge to the radially innermost edge. A total of the radial lengths of the at least ten internal-spline driving surfaces is equal to or larger than 7 mm. At least one internal-spline driving surface of the at least ten internal-spline driving surfaces has a first internal-spline-surface angle defined between the at least one internal-spline driving surface of the at least ten internal-spline driving surfaces and a first radial line. The first internal-spline-surface angle ranges from 0 degree to 10 degrees.
