Abstract: A shifting controller controls a shifting device of a human-powered vehicle and includes a data acquisition interface, a data storage device, and a control unit. The data acquisition interface is configured to acquire a first reference value of a first variable in relation to the human-powered vehicle. The data storage device has stored therein a shifting condition specified by at least one of a direction of change, an amount of change, and a rate of change that are information on a change in the first variable. The control unit includes a processor that is configured to control the shifting device based on a change in the first reference value and the shifting condition.

Abstract: A bicycle operating device comprises a base member including a first end to be mounted to a bicycle handlebar and a second end opposite to the first end. A hydraulic unit is operatively coupled to an operating member to operate a bicycle component in response to an operation of the operating member. An electrical switch is to be activated by an input operation from a user. A wireless communicator is electrically connected to the electrical switch to wirelessly transmit a signal to an additional component in response to the input operation. A power supply is electrically connected to the wireless communicator to supply electrical power to the wireless communicator. At least part of the hydraulic unit is disposed closer to the free end of the operating member than at least one of the wireless communicator and the power supply when viewed from the first direction.

Abstract: A bicycle hub assembly comprises a hub axle, a hub body, and a sprocket support structure. The hub axle includes an axle through-bore that has an axle minimum inner diameter equal to or larger than 13 mm. The hub body has a first body end and a second body end opposite to the first body end in an axial direction with respect to a rotational center axis. The sprocket support structure is rotatably mounted on the hub axle about the rotational center axis. The sprocket support structure includes a first torque-transmitting profile and a first externally-threaded portion. The first torque-transmitting profile is configured to transmit a rotational force. The first externally-threaded portion is configured to threadedly engage with a first internally-threaded portion of a first lock member. The first torque-transmitting profile is closer to the first body end than the first externally-threaded portion in the axial direction.

Abstract: A base member includes a first end to be mounted to a bicycle handlebar and a second end opposite to the first end. An operating member is pivotally coupled to the base member about a first pivot axis. A hydraulic unit is coupled to the operating member to operate a bicycle component in response to an operation of the operating member. At least part of the hydraulic unit is disposed closer to the first end than the first pivot axis when viewed from a first direction parallel to the first pivot axis. A wireless communicator is to wirelessly transmit a signal to an additional component in response to the input operation. A power supply is electrically connected to the wireless communicator. At least one of the wireless communicator and the power supply is disposed closer to the second end than the first pivot axis when viewed from the first direction.
