Abstract

See full text

There is provided a bicycle rear derailleur wherein a problem that shifting the chain to a diametrically larger sprocket causes the guide pulley to come too close to the sprocket, which is an inherent problem to a conventional bicycle rear derailleur using a double tension mechanism, is rationally solved with further improved speed change efficiency. This rear derailleur comprises a rearwardly extending control mechanism (23) pivotally supported at a front end portion thereof to a bicycle frame (22) ahead of the multiple sprocket assembly, the control mechanism mounted at a rear end portion thereof with a chain guide (25) rotatably supporting a guide pulley (39) and a tension pulley (40), wherein the control mechanism is urged against the bicycle frame in a clockwise direction about a first lateral shaft (34), and the chain guide is urged against a chain guide mount of the control mechanism in a clockwise direction about a second lateral shaft (41).
