Abstract
A bicycle component securing structure includes a shaft, a head, a lever and a pivot pin. The head has a recess with the shaft at least partially disposed therein. The lever has portions disposed on opposite sides of the head. The pivot pin couples the head and the lever to the shaft. The pivot pin has a cam section disposed between first and second end sections. The cam section is disposed within the recess to longitudinally move the shaft relative to the head in response to movement of the lever. The first end section is non-rotatably mounted in a first mating hole of the lever such that the lever and pivot pin rotate together. The first end section has a larger maximum transverse width than the second end section. The second end of the pivot pin is retained within the lever.
