Abstract: A dropper post assembly can include an outer tube and an inner tube with a lower end that is within the outer tube and include a tube engagement. A spring cartridge assembly can include: a cartridge tube providing a cylinder; a piston movably received within the cylinder to provide a first chamber a lower side of the piston and a second chamber between the piston; a cartridge rod; and a second engagement member configured to releasably engage the tube engagement member thereby fastening the cartridge tube to the lower end of the inner tube so that the cartridge tube is axially fixed to the inner tube and movable with the inner tube relative to the outer tube.

Abstract: A dropper post assembly for supporting a bicycle seat may have an outer tube and an inner tube having a clearance portion and an upper end that includes an inward facing axial stop surface that defines a laterally extending abutment plane. A spring cartridge assembly has a cartridge cross-sectional that is less than 90% of the interior cross-sectional area of the clearance portion. A lower engagement member is disposed toward a lower end of the inner tube and substantially fills a lateral between lower end of the cartridge tube and the inner tube. A post head member has a front fastening aperture, a lowermost part of which lies in a laterally extending post head plane that is disposed axially inboard from the abutment plane.

Abstract: A bicycle chainring may have a plurality of first teeth that fit within the narrow link spaces in a drive chain, and a plurality of second teeth that fit within the wide link spaces in a drive chain. Each second tooth may have a first width that is greater than the its tip width at a location that is between about 40% and about 60% of the tooth height and a second width that is greater than the first width and is between the first plane and the root. A first transition portion may be on a first side of the second tooth and may extends between a first edge that is at the tip and extends in an edge direction that is substantially parallel to the central plane and a second edge that is disposed at the second plane and extends in the edge direction.

Abstract: There is described a bicycle seat post assembly in which the travel distance of the seat post can be adjusted. The seat post assembly includes an outer tube that is configured to telescopically receive an inner tube. The inner tube is axially slidable relative to the outer tube between a retracted position and an extended position, the extended position being determined by an extension assembly in which an inner contact member engages an outer contact member, thereby setting the upper limit of axial extension of the inner tube. The extension of the inner tube can be limited to an intermediate position that lies between the retracted and extended positions by an insertable shim that is positionable between the inner and outer contact members.

Abstract: A seat attaching may include a lower seat clamp that is moveable relative to a post head member about a pivot axis and includes: a mounting portion having a bearing surface configured to engage a corresponding cradle portion of the post head member a first channel configured to receive a first seat rail of a bicycle seat and a second channel configured to receive a second seat rail of a bicycle seat. An upper seat clamp may include: a central portion overlying the mounting portion; a first extension portion disposed on a first side of the central portion and having a first retainer surface overlying and facing the first channel to retain the first seat rail within the first channel and having a first apex; and a second extension portion disposed on a second side of the central portion and having a second retainer surface overlying and facing the second channel to retain the second seat rail within the second channel and having a second apex. An upper plane may contain both the first apex and second apex and may be substantially parallel to the pivot axis. The upper plane may be offset below the pivot axis and intersecting the bearing surface. A first fastener may be used to secure the upper seat clamp to the post head member.

Abstract: A chain guide for a bicycle having may include a base frame and a height adjustment member connected to the base frame and slidable relative to the base frame and lockable in a first position by engaging a first locking member. A retaining member may be pivotally connected to the height adjustment member and may be pivotable about a pivot axis a retaining position, in which the retaining member is positioned to obstruct lateral movement of the chain away from the chainring thereby preventing lateral misalignment between the chain and the chainring, and a removal position, in which the retaining member does not obstruct lateral movement of the chain away from the base frame while the height adjustment member is locked in the first position. The pivot axis may be spaced apart from the first locking member.
