An electronic device is related to a human-powered vehicle operating device that includes an operating mechanism, which is for operating at least one of a human-powered vehicle transmission device and a human-powered vehicle braking device, and at least one operating member. The electronic device comprises a storage, an electronic controller, and a communication unit. The storage stores setting information related to an operation of the at least one operating member and to an output destination device. The electronic controller is configured to generate an output signal corresponding to the operation of the at least one operating member based on the setting information. The communication unit transmits the output signal to the output destination device that includes at least one of a game device, a training device, an audio device, and a video device.

Electronic device related to human-powered vehicle operating device and method for controlling electronic device related to human-powered vehicle operating device

To provide a shifting control device and an electric shifting system allowing a user to comfortably ride a human-powered vehicle, a shifting control device comprising a controller configured to control a shifting device in accordance with a first operation performed on an operating device for braking a rotary body of a human-powered vehicle.

Shifting control device and electric shifting system

A brake system includes a driving part driven by electric power to adjust braking force applied to a rotary body of a human-powered vehicle and an electronic controller configured to control the driving part in accordance with a rotational state of the rotary body. The electronic controller has a plurality of control modes including a first mode that drives the driving part in accordance with a user operation and a second mode that does not drive the driving part regardless of the user operation. The electronic controller is configured to switch the plurality of control modes based on setting information related to an input to the human-powered vehicle.

Bicycle system

A brake control device includes an electronic controller that is configured to control a braking unit that is configured to brake at least one of a plurality of rotating bodies of a human-powered vehicle. The electronic controller is configured to control the braking unit upon determining an ABS control is performed to decrease a braking force of a first rotating body included in the plurality of rotating bodies so that a braking force of a second rotating body, which is different from the first rotating body and included in the plurality of rotating bodies, is increased by a force that is different from hydraulic pressure.

Brake control device, braking device including brake control device, and brake system

A brake device is configured to apply a braking force to a rotary body of a human-powered vehicle. The brake device includes a power transfer medium operated braking portion, a first actuator and a second actuator. The first actuator is operatively coupled to the power transfer medium operated braking portion by a power transfer medium. The second actuator is operatively coupled to the first actuator and operated by electric power in accordance with an input to an operating device.

Bicycle device and brake system

A brake control device includes an electronic controller that controls a brake unit configured to brake a rotation body of a human-powered vehicle. The electronic controller limits ABS control in a case where a first predetermined condition for executing ABS control and a second predetermined condition for limiting ABS control are satisfied. The second predetermined condition is set based on limitation information that differs from information related to a traveling speed of the human-powered vehicle.

Brake control device and brake system

To provide a brake controller and a brake system that appropriately brake a rotary body of a human-powered vehicle, a brake controller includes one or more processors configured to programmatically control a braking portion of a brake device so that the braking portion brakes a rotary body of the human-powered vehicle based on first information related to travel of the human-powered vehicle, the first information excluding a road surface gradient.

Brake controller and brake system

A brake system includes a driving part driven by electric power to brake a rotary body of a human-powered vehicle and an electronic controller configured to control the driving part. The electronic controller has a plurality of control modes including a first mode that drives the driving part in accordance with a user operation and a second mode that does not drive the driving part regardless of the user operation. The electronic controller is configured to switch the plurality of control modes based on setting information related to an input to the human-powered vehicle.

A bicycle disc brake caliper assembly is basically provided with a main caliper body, at least one brake pad and a mounting adapter. The main caliper body includes a first coupling portion that is configured not to be directly attached to a bicycle frame. The at least one brake pad is movably attached to the main caliper body. The mounting adapter includes a second coupling portion that is configured to be detachably coupled to the first coupling portion, and a mounting portion that is configured to be mounted to a bicycle frame.

An image forming apparatus includes a first controller, a display panel, a touch panel, a timer, a first storage unit storing a timeout period, and a first communication unit communicating with an external apparatus. When a user selects a predetermined service provided by the image forming apparatus, the first storage unit changes the timeout period to a value obtained from an external apparatus providing the selected service. The first controller uses the changed timeout period to determine whether or not a timeout process is to be performed.

Image forming apparatus

A bicycle brake arm includes a sleeve, a brake arm body, first and second abutments and first and second bearing members. The brake arm body has a mounting portion and is rotatably arranged with respect to the sleeve. The first and second abutments are axially arranged with respect to each other on the sleeve. At least a part of the brake arm body is disposed between the first and second abutments. The first bearing member is disposed axially on a first outside of the mounting portion of the brake arm body. The second bearing member is disposed axially on a second outside of the mounting portion of the brake arm body. The first bearing member is axially disposed between the first and second abutments. One of the first and second bearing members includes a roller bearing and the other of the first and second bearing members includes a dry bearing.

Bicycle brake arm

A bicycle stem that includes a tubular main body portion with an internal cavity and a first outer casing holder that is configured to hold an end of a first outer casing of a cable. The first outer casing holder is disposed in the internal cavity.

Bicycle stem

A bicycle hydraulic actuating device is provided with a housing, a non-linear piston and an operating member. The housing defines a chamber and has a fluid outlet. The non-linear piston is movably disposed in the chamber along a non-linear movement path between a first position and a second position. The operating member is operatively coupled to the non-linear piston so as to move the non-linear piston within the chamber between the first position and the second position in response to movement of the operating member.

Bicycle hydraulic actuating device

A hydraulic brake control apparatus including a body portion, a hydraulic brake control mechanism, and a lever portion. The body portion has a first section configured to fit within an interior of a bar opening and a second section configured to be mounted outside of the interior of the bar opening.
