Abstract
A bicycle operating device includes a base member, an actuator arranged to be movable with respect to the base member and having a cable holder, and a user operated input arranged to be movable with respect to the base member to move the actuator. In a state where the actuator is located in a first position, the user operated input moves the actuator from the first position to a second position by being operated with respect to the base member in a first direction. In a state where the actuator is located in the second position, the user operated input moves the actuator from the second position to the first position by being operated in the first direction or a second direction, which differs from the first direction.
Claims32
A bicycle operating device comprising:
- a base member;
- an actuator movably arranged with respect to the base member, and having a cable holder;
- and
- a user operated input movably arranged with respect to the base member and operatively coupled to the actuator,
- in a state where the actuator is located in a first position with respect to the base member, the user operated input moves the actuator from the first position to a second position with respect to the base member in response to being operated with respect to the base member in a first direction, the second position being different from the first position,
- in a state where the actuator is located in the second position, the user operated input moves the actuator from the second position to the first position in response to being operated in the first direction, and
- in a state where the actuator is located in the second position, the user operated input moves the actuator from the second position to the first position by being operated in a second direction, which differs from the first direction.
A bicycle operating device comprising:
- a base member;
- an actuator movably arranged with respect to the base member, and having a cable holder;
- a user operated input that rests in a first rest position with respect to the base member in a state where the actuator is located in a first position, the user operated input moving the actuator from the first position to a second position with respect to the base member upon being operated in a first direction with respect to the base member, and the user operated input rests in a second rest position in a state where the actuator is located in the second position;
- and
- a position adjuster configured to adjust the second rest position with respect to the first rest position.
