Abstract: A bicycle part includes a housing and a lid. The housing includes an inner peripheral portion, an outer peripheral portion, an end wall portion and a connecting portion. The outer peripheral portion is spaced radially outward from the inner peripheral portion with respect to a center axis of the enclosed area. The end wall portion interconnects the inner peripheral portion and the outer peripheral portion to at least partly define an internal space. The connecting portion interconnects the inner peripheral portion and the outer peripheral portion. The lid overlies the internal space. The lid is welded to the inner peripheral portion along an inner weld path and the outer peripheral portion along an outer weld path. The lid is further welded to at least part of the connecting portion of the housing a connecting weld path connecting the inner weld path and the outer weld path.

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 component for a human-powered vehicle basically comprises a power source connecting portion, an actuator and a first electronic controller circuitry. The power source connecting portion is connected to a power source. The power source connecting portion includes an attachment surface, a first terminal and a first detection terminal. The actuator is electrically connected to the power source connecting portion. The first electronic controller circuitry controls the actuator with supply current provided from the power source. The first terminal is electrically connected to a power supply terminal of the power source. The first terminal supplies the supply current to the actuator in a state where the first detection terminal is electrically connected to a second detection terminal of the power source. The first detection terminal contacts to the second detection terminal after the first terminal contacts to the power supply terminal during connecting operation of the power source to the power source connecting portion.

Abstract: An electrical bicycle derailleur includes a base member and a movable member movably arranged between a retracted position and an extended position. A linkage operatively couples the movable member to the base member. The linkage includes a first link member and a second link member. The first link member is disposed closer to the base member than the second link member. A motor unit is operatively coupled to the first and second link members to rotate the first and second link members. A linkage housing is configured to support the first and second link members and the motor unit. A first diameter of the first link member is different from a second diameter of the second link member and/or a first tooth number of the first link member is different from a second tooth number of the second link member.
