Abstract: A bicycle sprocket comprises a sprocket body and chain-driving teeth. The chain-driving teeth comprises at least one first tooth and at least one second tooth. The at least one first tooth has a first circumferential tooth-length defined in a circumferential direction at a radial location defined in vicinity of a reference line. The at least one second tooth has a second circumferential tooth-length defined in the circumferential direction at the radial location. The first circumferential tooth-length is larger than the second circumferential tooth-length. A dimensional difference between the first circumferential tooth-length and the second circumferential tooth-length is equal to or smaller than 1 mm.

Abstract: A bicycle transmission apparatus comprises a base member, a first transmission member, a second transmission member, and a first coupling member. The first transmission member is rotatable relative to the base member about a first rotational axis and is movable relative to the base member in an axial direction parallel to the first rotational axis. The second transmission member is rotatable relative to the base member about a second rotational axis and is stationary relative to the base member in the axial direction. The first coupling member is configured to couple the first transmission member to the second transmission member to transmit rotation of the first transmission member to the second transmission member at a variable speed stage which is variable in accordance with at least one positional relationship among the first transmission member, the second transmission member, and the first coupling member in the axial direction.

Abstract: A bicycle hub assembly comprises a hub axle, a hub shell, a sprocket support body, and a clutch. The sprocket support body is rotatably mounted on the hub axle to rotate about a rotational axis. The sprocket support body is rotatable relative to the hub axle and the hub shell about the rotational axis. The clutch has a first coupling state where a pedaling rotational force is transmitted from the sprocket support body to the hub shell in a first rotational direction during pedaling, a first release state where the hub shell is rotatable relative to the sprocket support body in the first rotational direction during coasting, and a second coupling state where a coasting rotational force is transmitted from the hub shell to the sprocket support body in the first rotational direction during coasting.

Abstract: A bicycle sprocket assembly is basically provided with a first sprocket having a first pitch circle diameter, a second sprocket having a second pitch circle diameter, a third sprocket having a third pitch circle diameter, a fourth sprocket having a fourth pitch circle diameter, and a sprocket supporting member. At least one of the second and third sprockets is attached to the sprocket supporting member. The first sprocket is attached to the second sprocket so that the second sprocket is positioned between the first sprocket and the sprocket supporting member in an axial direction. The fourth sprocket is attached to the third sprocket so that the third sprocket is positioned between the sprocket supporting member and the fourth sprocket in the axial direction. The second sprocket is adjacent to the third sprocket without another sprocket positioned therebetween in the axial direction.

Abstract: A bicycle drive unit comprises a housing configured to be mounted to a first base member. The housing includes a first wall at least partly defining an internal space to at least partly accommodate a bicycle crank having a crank rotational axis. The first wall includes a first transmitting surface disposed to at least partly face upward in a bicycle upright state where the crank rotational axis horizontally extends and the housing is mounted on the first base member. The first transmitting surface is configured to face a first receiving surface of the first base member to transmit an upward force from the housing to the first base member. The first transmitting surface being at least partly disposed below the crank rotational axis in the bicycle upright state.

Abstract: A bicycle rear sprocket comprises a sprocket body, a plurality of sprocket teeth, a shifting facilitation recess, and an upshifting facilitation projection. The plurality of sprocket teeth extends radially outwardly from the sprocket body. The shifting facilitation recess is to facilitate a shifting operation in which a bicycle chain is shifted between the bicycle rear sprocket and a smaller rear sprocket adjacent to the bicycle rear sprocket without another sprocket between the bicycle rear sprocket and the smaller rear sprocket. The upshifting facilitation projection is provided in the shifting facilitation recess to support the bicycle chain in an upshifting operation in which the bicycle chain is shifted from the bicycle rear sprocket to the smaller rear sprocket.

Abstract: A bicycle transmission apparatus comprises a base member, a first transmission member, a second transmission member, a first coupling member, a first guide structure, a switching device, and a transmission controller. The switching device is configured to switch a position of the first transmission member relative to the base member in an axial direction between a first axial position and a second axial position. The transmission controller is configured to control the switching device and the first guide structure so as not to change a first engagement state of the first coupling member from one cogwheel to another adjacent cogwheel among first cogwheels when the first transmission member moves relative to the base member in association with a movement of the first guide structure relative to the base member to change a second engagement state of the first coupling member from one cogwheel to another adjacent cogwheel among second cogwheels.
