Rear derailleur

A bicycle derailleur comprises a bracket adapted to be mounted to the frame; a base member supported by the bracket; a chain guide; and a coupling mechanism coupled between the base member and the chain guide so that the chain guide moves relative to the base member. The base member is supported at first and second lateral locations, wherein the bracket supports at least one of the first and second lateral locations of the base member.

A bicycle derailleur comprises a mounting member adapted to be mounted to a bicycle frame, a base member pivotably mounted relative to the mounting member, a biasing mechanism that biases the base member clockwise relative to the mounting member when viewed laterally outwardly from the base member, a chain guide and a coupling mechanism coupled between the base member and the chain guide so that the chain guide moves relative to the base member. A rotation restricting mechanism is disposed in a force communicating path between the mounting member and the base member to restrict counterclockwise rotation of the base member relative to the mounting member.
