Abstract
A control device for a bicycle, has a first body adapted to be attached to a bicycle handlebar, at least one control member of at least one bicycle component, and a second body, distinct from the first body, connected to 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.
Claims25
A control device configured for attachment to a handlebar of a bicycle, the control device comprising:
- a first body including an upper transversal surface and a lowermost surface, the upper transversal surface defines an upper transversal wall of the control device;
- a brake control lever;
- and
- a second body that is distinct from the first body, in contact with the lowermost surface of the first body, the second body being positioned entirely below the first body, and the second body having a lower surface which defines a lower transversal wall of the control device, wherein the first body and the second body combine to define a rearmost face of the control device that is configured to contact the handlebar.
