A bicycle derailleur includes a base member mountable to a bicycle frame and having first and second laterally spaced mounting portions defining first and second planes, and a space therebetween dimensioned to receive a portion of the bicycle frame. A first mounting arrangement defines a first pivot axis oriented at an acute angle relative to the first and second planes. A second mounting arrangement defines a second pivot axis parallel to the first pivot axis. A first link is pivotally connected to the first mounting arrangement and a second link is pivotally connected to the second mounting arrangement. A moveable member is pivotally connected to the first and second links. A battery may be mounted on the base member and electrically connected with a motor carried by the moveable member.

A vaporizer may include a battery housing and a cartomizer connectable to the battery housing. A battery may be housed within the battery housing. The cartomizer may have a cartomizer body dimensioned to hold a vaporizable substance. The cartomizer may also include a heating element to heat the vaporizable substance. A cutoff device may be connectable to the heating element to disrupt the heating element.

An electronic component for a bicycle includes a communication interface and a processor in communication with the communication interface. The processor is configured to identify a first power on time. The first power on time identifies a time at which the electronic component was powered on by a power source of the bicycle. The processor is configured to listen for one or more messages after the electronic component is powered on and receive, via the communication interface, a message of the one or more messages. The received message is from another electronic component of the bicycle and identifies a second power on time. The second power on time is for the other electronic component. The processor is configured to compare the second power on time to the first power on time and initiate, based on the comparison, pairing of the other electronic component with the electronic component.

Eine erfindungsgemäße Schneidvorrichtung (10) zum Schneiden von Flachmaterial, wie beispielsweise Blech, umfasst:- eine Messerwelle (12), an der wenigstens ein Rundmesser (14) befestigbar ist;- eine Positionierungsvorrichtung (16), die dazu eingerichtet ist, das wenigstens eine Rundmesser (14) in einem gelösten Zustand entlang einer Längsachse (LA1) der Messerwelle (12) zu verschieben und in einer vorgesehenen Position an der Messerwelle (12) reversibel und kraftübertragend zu fixieren, wobei die Positionierungsvorrichtung (16) wenigstens einen Effektor (18) aufweist, der dazu eingerichtet ist, ein Spannmittel (20) des wenigstens einen Rundmessers (14) zu betätigen.Bei dieser Schneidvorrichtung ist vorgesehen, dass der Effektor (18) zum Betätigen des Spannmittels (20) entlang einer Bewegungsachse (BA1) bewegbar ist, die windschief zu der Längsachse (LA1) der Messerwelle (12) verläuft.

A position detection device for a bicycle may include a bicycle component defining an interior and an exterior. A detectable element may be disposed in the interior of the bicycle component and movable relative to the bicycle component. At least one detecting element is disposed in the exterior of the bicycle component, the at least one detecting element operable to detect: a first position of the detectable element relative to the bicycle component, and a second position of the detectable element relative to the bicycle component, wherein the second position is different from the first position.

A cartridge may include a cartridge, a reservoir, a heating element, and a wicking element. The housing may include a first housing segment coupled with a second housing segment. A portion of the cartridge housing may form a wick housing. The reservoir may include a collector having an overflow channel with microfluidic features configured to provide a constriction point at which a meniscus forms to prevent air entering the reservoir from passing the vaporizable material in the overflow channel. The heating element may include a heating portion disposed inside the wick housing and a contact portion extending outside of the wick housing. The wicking element may be disposed inside the wick housing and proximate to the heating portion of the heating element. The wicking element may be in fluid communication with the reservoir and configured to draw the vaporizable material from the reservoir for vaporization by the heating element.

A rear derailleur includes a base member mountable to a bicycle frame, a movable member movably coupled to the base member, and a pivot member rotatably coupled to the movable member. The rear derailleur also includes a chain guide assembly rotatably connected to the movable member via the pivot member. The rear derailleur includes a damper device disposed within the movable member. The damper device is operable to apply a damping force to the chain guide assembly when the chain guide assembly rotates. The damper device includes a friction member having a friction surface. A first portion of the friction surface is in frictional engagement with the pivot member, and a second portion of the friction surface is in frictional engagement with the movable member. The friction device is disposed within the movable member at a distance relative to the biasing device in an axial direction along the pivot member.
