  • Publication number: 20180178877
    Abstract: A bicycle control device has a body for mounting on a bicycle handlebar and a brake lever that rotates about a predetermined axis. The body has abutment portions defining a first brake lever release position and at least one second brake lever release position. The control device includes an adjuster for selecting a release position. The adjuster has a pin that is mounted on the brake lever and slides substantially parallel to the predetermined axis between abutment portions and a coupler that couples with the pin; the coupler being fixed with the brake lever and configured to selectively stop the pin in a selected position.

  • Publication number: 20180154983
    Abstract: A bicycle gearshift cable control device that is rotatable about a control pin, in opposite angular directions, and has an indexer mounted coaxially to the control pin that defines a plurality of spaced apart, stable angular positions for the cable-winding bush. Elastic members that store elastic energy during a rotation of the control pin in one angular direction and release the stored elastic energy stored at the end of the rotation of the control pin are configured to cause a stroke recovery rotation of the control pin in the opposite angular direction during the release of the stored elastic energy. The stroke recovery rotation is smaller than the indexing angle that separates two adjacent stable positions of the cable-winding bush.

  • Publication number: 20170341709
    Abstract: An actuation device of a control cable of a bicycle gearshift has a casing, a cable-winding bush mounted in the casing rotatable about a rotation axis in a first angular direction between a first and a last angular position and in a second angular direction between the last and the first angular position, a rotary member mounted in the casing in a rotary manner about the rotation axis and a stationary member mounted in a non-rotary manner in the casing, wherein one of the two members is provided with at least one first pointer engaged on a fastening track formed on the other member, the fastening track extending along a closed loop path and having at least one first plurality of stop positions engageable in sequence by the pointer. A first stop position that determines the first angular position of the cable-winding bush is angularly spaced from the next stop position by an indexing angle.

  • Publication number: 20160355235
    Abstract: A bicycle control cable actuation device having: a casing, configured for fixing to bicycle handlebars, a cable-winding bush, on which the control cable is wound and which is angularly mobile in the casing about a main axis (A) of the device, an indexing bush that is coaxial to and associated with the cable-winding bush to removably hold the cable-winding bush in predetermined positions that are angularly spaced from each other by predetermined indexing angles (?), a manoeuvring mechanism, operative on the cable-winding bush to rotate it in a first angular direction (R) about the main axis (A) of the device, to obtain an upward gearshifting; and, a predetermined circumferential clearance corresponding to a predetermined gearshifting extra-stroke angle (?) is provided between the cable-winding bush and the indexing bush.
