Abstract: A sprocket support body comprises an external spline configured to be engaged with an internal spline of a bicycle sprocket arrangement. The external spline includes a plurality of external-spline driving surfaces configured to transmit a rotational driving force between the sprocket support body and the bicycle sprocket arrangement in a circumferential direction. The plurality of external-spline driving surfaces includes at least four first external-spline driving surfaces and at least one second external-spline driving surface. The at least four first external-spline driving surfaces are respectively arranged on at least four of nine first external-spline driving positions equally arranged in the circumferential direction about a rotational center axis at a first external-spline pitch angle which is equal to 40 degrees. The at least one second external-spline driving surface is offset from the nine first external-spline driving positions in the circumferential direction about the rotational center axis.

Abstract: A bicycle derailleur comprises a base member, a movable member, a motor unit, and a controller. The controller is configured to control the motor unit to rotate an output shaft of the motor unit at a first maximum voltage during a first shifting operation of the chain in a first shifting direction. The controller is configured to control the motor unit to rotate the output shaft of the motor unit at a second maximum voltage during a second shifting operation of the chain in a second shifting direction. The first maximum voltage is different from the second maximum voltage. The bicycle derailleur is configured to receive electricity from an electric power source configured to supply electricity to an assist driving unit.

Abstract: A human-powered vehicle control device is configured to automatically control a suspension and an adjustable seatpost to a suitable state. The human-powered vehicle control device includes an electronic controller configured to control at least one of the suspension and the adjustable seatpost mounted to the human-powered vehicle upon detection of an inclined state of the human-powered vehicle based on a change in pressure of at least one tire of the human-powered vehicle. The pressure of the at least one tire is detected by a pressure detector configured to detect pressure of the at least one tire of the human-powered vehicle.

Abstract: An operating device for a human-powered vehicle comprises a base structure, a first switch unit, and a first coupling structure. The first switch unit comprises a first switch base member, a first switch, and a first movable member. The first switch is configured to be activated in response to a first user input. The first switch is mounted to the first switch base member. The first movable member is pivotally coupled to the first switch base member about a first pivot axis such that the first movable member activates the first switch in response to the first user input. The first coupling structure is configured to couple the first switch base member to the base structure such that a position of the first switch base member is adjustable relative to the base structure about the first pivot axis.

Abstract: A bicycle sprocket arrangement comprises an internal spline configured to be engaged with an external spline of a sprocket support body of a bicycle hub assembly. The internal spline includes a plurality of internal-spline driving surfaces configured to transmit a rotational driving force between the bicycle sprocket arrangement and the bicycle hub assembly in a circumferential direction. The plurality of internal-spline driving surfaces includes at least four first internal-spline driving surfaces and at least one second internal-spline driving surface. The at least four first internal-spline driving surfaces are respectively arranged on at least four of nine first internal-spline driving positions equally arranged in the circumferential direction about a rotational center axis at a first internal-spline pitch angle which is equal to 40 degrees. The at least one second internal-spline driving surface is offset from the nine first internal-spline driving positions in the circumferential direction about the rotational center axis.

Abstract: A piston assembly is provided for a human-powered vehicle. The piston assembly includes a main body, a primary seal and a secondary seal. The main body is configured to be movable from a rest position to an actuated position along an actuation direction in a cylinder bore. The primary seal includes a primary seal body arranged on the main body, the primary seal body being made of the first seal material. The secondary seal includes a secondary seal body arranged on the main body at upstream of the primary seal with respect to the actuation direction. The secondary seal body is made of a second seal material that is more elastic than the first seal material.

Abstract: A control system for a human-powered vehicle includes a suspension device, at least one detector, an electronic controller. The suspension device includes a first suspension and a second suspension. The at least one detector is configured to detect information related to at least two conditions of the human-powered vehicle. The conditions include an operating state of the suspension device, a power input to the human-powered vehicle, a torque of a power transmission component, and a rotating state of the power transmission component. The electronic controller is configured to selectively control the suspension device between a first operating state and a second operating state in accordance with a detection result obtained by the at least one detector.
