Abstract: A rear sprocket includes a sprocket body and a plurality of sprocket teeth. The plurality of sprocket teeth includes a first upshifting facilitation tooth, a second upshifting facilitation tooth, a third upshifting facilitation tooth and an upshifting initiation tooth. The upshifting initiation tooth is adjacent to the third upshifting facilitation tooth at an upstream side of the third upshifting facilitation tooth with respect to a driving rotational direction of the rear sprocket without another tooth between the third upshifting facilitation tooth and the upshifting initiation tooth in a circumferential direction.

Abstract: A rear sprocket assembly comprises a sprocket carrier, a first sprocket, and a second sprocket. The sprocket carrier includes at least one sprocket mounting portion having a first radial section and a second radial section. The first radial section has a first maximum axial length with respect to the axial direction. The second radial section has a second maximum axial length with respect to the axial direction. The second maximum axial length is larger than the first maximum axial length. At least one second mounted portion of the second sprocket is configured to axially contact the first radial section and the second radial section of the at least one sprocket mounting portion of the sprocket carrier with respect to the axial direction.

Abstract: A first electric device comprises a first wireless communicator, an electric actuator, and a first electronic controller. The first electronic controller is configured to control the electric actuator to generate the actuation force based on a user input received by the second electric device in a connection state where the first wireless communicator is paired with the second wireless communicator and where the first wireless communicator is wirelessly connected to the second wireless communicator. The first electronic controller is configured to control the first wireless communicator to reconnect to the second wireless communicator based on the user input received by the second electric device in a disconnection state where the first wireless communicator is paired with the second wireless communicator and where the first wireless communicator is wirelessly disconnected from the second wireless communicator.
