20080196537 | COMMAND DEVICE FOR A DERAILLEUR OF A BICYCLE - Integrated control device for a bicycle, has a support body configured to be fixed to a handlebar of a bicycle and a single lever that is mobile with respect to the support body to command both a brake and a derailleur by movement of the lever in first and second directions of movement, opposite one another; the single lever has a rest position in which it commands neither the brake nor the derailleur and it is mobile in a first direction to command the brake; the single lever is mobile in a second direction different from the first direction by a first distance to command movement of the derailleur in its first direction and by a second distance different from the first to command movement of the derailleur in its second direction. | 08-21-2008 |
20080210041 | CONTROL DEVICE FOR A BICYCLE AND BICYCLE COMPRISING SUCH A DEVICE - A control device for a bicycle has a main body adapted to be associated with a bicycle handlebar and at least one control member of at least one bicycle component, like for example a brake, a derailleur or a cyclecomputer. The main body has a first side wall and a second side wall arranged on the opposite side to the first side wall with respect to an intermediate reference plane. The first side wall has a first portion having a first surface and a second portion having a second surface. The first surface has an area having a distance from the intermediate reference plane greater than the distance between the aforementioned intermediate reference plane and an area of the surface of the second portion. | 09-04-2008 |
20080210042 | CONTROL DEVICE FOR A BICYCLE AND BICYCLE COMPRISING SUCH A DEVICE - A control device for a bicycle, has a first body adapted to be associated with a bicycle handlebar, at least one control member of at least one bicycle component, and a second body, distinct from the first body, associated with the first body to increase a grip surface of the control device and/or to vary the relative position of the at least one control member with respect to the handlebar of the bicycle, so as to adapt the control device to the size of the cyclist's hand. | 09-04-2008 |
20080296961 | RIM FOR A BICYCLE WHEEL MADE FROM COMPOSITE MATERIAL WITH A WEAR INDICATOR AND WHEEL COMPRISING SUCH A RIM - A composite rim ( | 12-04-2008 |
20090011656 | INSTRUMENTATION KIT OF A BICYCLE AND BICYCLE COMPRISING SUCH KIT - An instrumentation kit of a bicycle comprises a bundle of cables for electrically connecting a first electronic component of the kit to a second electronic component of the kit, the cables of the bundle being cut off to form a first bundle portion and a second bundle portion. The first bundle portion and the second bundle portion are connectible to each other through a common connector. A bicycle comprising the instrumentation kit, a bottle holder and a containment box for an electronic component of the instrumentation kit are also described. | 01-08-2009 |
20090025504 | ACTUATION DEVICE FOR A CONTROL CABLE FOR A BICYCLE GEARSHIFT - The described actuation device comprises a casing, intended for the attachment to the handlebar of the bicycle, a cable-winding bobbin, angularly mobile in the casing about a main axis of the device, a first driving mechanism, acting on the bobbin to rotate it in a first angular direction, a second driving mechanism, acting on the bobbin to rotate it in a second angular direction opposite the first, as well as indexer assembly for removably holding the bobbin in predetermined angular positions. In accordance with the invention, the indexer assembly comprise first countering member, to counter the rotation of the bobbin in the first direction, and second countering member, distinct from the first countering member, to counter the rotation of the bobbin in the second direction. Asymmetric operation is thus obtained which allows active actuation to be set both for upward gearshifting and for downward gearshifting. | 01-29-2009 |
20090042681 | SET OF SPROCKETS FOR A BICYCLE REAR WHEEL AND SPROCKET ASSEMBLY COMPRISING SUCH A SET - A set of sprockets has a first sprocket with a greater diameter, at least one second sprocket with a smaller diameter and one or more spacer elements operatively arranged between, and in abutment with the sprockets. At least one of the aforementioned sprockets and spacer elements has engagement portions with a freewheel body of a hub of a bicycle rear wheel, the engagement portions defining an ideal circumference for coupling with the freewheel body. The first sprocket rests against the second sprocket, through at least one of the one or more spacer elements, at at least one first contact point arranged at a first radial distance with respect to a longitudinal rotation axis, and at least one second contact point arranged at a second radial distance from the longitudinal rotation axis. The radial distance between the first contact point and the second contact point is at least equal to ⅓ of the radial extension between the circumference and a radially outer end of the second sprocket. | 02-12-2009 |
20090042682 | SPROCKET MODULE FOR A BICYCLE AND SPROCKET ASSEMBLY COMPRISING SUCH A MODULE - A sprocket module for a bicycle has at least two sprockets fixedly coupled one another. At least one first sprocket of the at least two sprockets comprises engagement portion to a freewheel body of a hub for a bicycle rear wheel. A second sprocket of the module lacks the engagement portion and is supported on the freewheel body through the aforementioned at least one first sprocket. The module allows strong and low-weight sprocket assemblies to be made. | 02-12-2009 |
