Abstract
A derailleur position setting method is adaptable to a bicycle. The method comprises sending an adjustment instruction to a driver by the controller, setting the derailleur to a gear position according to the adjustment instruction by the driver, sending an encoded value corresponding to the gear position to a mobile device by the controller, and sending a position table to the controller according to the encoded value by the mobile device, wherein the position table comprises a plurality of position parameters, each position parameter indicates a designated gear position to which the derailleur is allowable to be set.
