Abstract:
A bicycle hydraulic quick-release apparatus comprises a main body and a hydraulic chamber. The main body includes a first hole and a second hole. The hydraulic chamber has a changeable volume and is provided between the first hole and the second hole. The hydraulic chamber is configured to be in a first chamber state where a volume of the hydraulic chamber is a first volume. The hydraulic chamber is configured to be in a second chamber state where the volume of the hydraulic chamber is a second volume different from the first volume. The hydraulic chamber is disconnected from the first hole in the second chamber state.

The second brake arm has a second coupling portion, a second actuated portion and a second mounting portion. The second coupling portion includes a second mounting fastener defining a second pivot axis of the first brake arm. The second mounting portion mounts a second friction member. The hydraulic actuation device includes first and second pistons movably disposed in a cylinder housing and operatively coupled to the first and second actuated portions on the first and second brake arms, respectively.
Abstract:
A bicycle disc brake rotor assembly comprises a hub axle, a hub shell, a disc brake rotor, and a positioning mechanism. The hub axle extends in an axial direction. The hub shell is configured to rotate around the hub axle. The disc brake rotor is configured to be adjustably attached to the hub shell in the axial direction. The positioning mechanism is configured to position the disc brake rotor in the axial direction at an adjusted position.
Abstract:
A brake control device includes an electronic controller that is configured to control a braking unit that is configured to brake at least one of a plurality of rotating bodies of a human-powered vehicle. The electronic controller is configured to control the braking unit upon determining an ABS control is performed to decrease a braking force of a first rotating body included in the plurality of rotating bodies so that a braking force of a second rotating body, which is different from the first rotating body and included in the plurality of rotating bodies, is increased by a force that is different from hydraulic pressure.
Abstract:
To provide a brake controller and a brake system that appropriately brake a rotary body of a human-powered vehicle, a brake controller includes one or more processors configured to programmatically control a braking portion of a brake device so that the braking portion brakes a rotary body of the human-powered vehicle based on first information related to travel of the human-powered vehicle, the first information excluding a road surface gradient.
Abstract:
A mounting device is provided for mounting a detection device, which is configured to detect electromagnetic waves having a frequency of 30 GHz or greater excluding visible light, on a human-powered vehicle. The detection device includes a support mechanism that is configured to support the detection device so that the detection device is movable relative to the human-powered vehicle in accordance with motion of the human-powered vehicle.
Abstract:
A hydraulic operating device comprises a base member, an operating member, and a piston. The base member includes a first end portion, a second end portion, a cylinder bore, a first hose-attachment hole, and a second hose-attachment hole. The second end portion is opposite to the first end portion. The first hose-attachment hole is configured to be in fluid communication with the cylinder bore. The second hose-attachment hole is configured to be in fluid communication with the cylinder bore. The operating member is pivotally coupled to the base member at the first end portion about a pivot axis. The first hose-attachment hole and the second hose-attachment hole are provided closer to the pivot axis than the second end portion.
Abstract:
A bicycle end cap has a first end and a second end that is opposite to the first end for attaching to a bicycle line shape member. The bicycle end cap includes a tubular portion and an attachment structure. The tubular portion is arranged at the first end and defining a receiving space that is dimensioned to axially receive the line shape member from the first end. The attachment structure is configured to attach a pulling member having a cable portion and a head portion that has larger diameter than the cable portion. The attachment structure is configured to position the head portion relative to the tubular portion as the cable portion is pulled toward the second end.
Abstract:
A bicycle hydraulic operating system includes first and second actuating devices and a hydraulic operated device. The first actuating device includes a first operating member, a first master cylinder and a first master piston. The first master piston moves in the first master cylinder in response to operation of the first operating member. The second actuating device includes a second operating member, a second master cylinder and a second master piston. The second master piston moves in the second master cylinder in response to operation of the second operating member. The hydraulic operated device includes a slave cylinder and a slave piston that is movably arranged in the slave cylinder. The slave cylinder has a slave fluid port that is connected to first and second fluid ports of the first and second master cylinders. Operation of either of the first and second operating members moves the slave piston.
Abstract:
A bicycle disc brake rotor including a center rotational axis is provided with an outer member including a braking portion extending in a rotation direction of the bicycle disc brake rotor and an inner member located at an inner side of the outer member in a radial direction of the bicycle disc brake rotor and coupled to the outer member. At least one of the outer member and the inner member includes a displacement reducing structure configured to reduce displacement of the braking portion in an axial direction of the bicycle disc brake rotor.
