Abstract: An actuator device for a rider-posture changing apparatus of a human-powered vehicle comprises a cam follower and a cam member. The cam member is rotatable about a rotational axis. At least one of the cam follower and the cam member includes a curved surface contactable with another of the cam follower and the cam member to move the cam follower in a movement direction in response to a rotation of the cam member. The movement direction is different from a circumferential direction defined about the rotational axis. The curved surface has a curved shape in a first cross-section perpendicular to the circumferential direction.

Abstract: A brake caliper for a bicycle includes a housing configured to be installed on the bicycle, the bicycle including a disc attached to a wheel of the bicycle. A brake pad is installed within the housing and is configured to move between a braking position and a non-braking position. The braking position is a location within the housing where the brake pad contacts the disc when the housing is installed on the bicycle. The non-braking position is a location within the housing where the brake pad is further from the disc than in the braking position. The caliper also includes a biasing member configured to bias the brake pad in a downstream direction within the housing with the brake pad is in the non-braking position, the downstream direction being parallel to a direction of rotation of the disc when a wheel of the bicycle is rotating to move the bicycle forward.

Abstract: A telescopic apparatus for a human-powered vehicle comprises a first hydraulic chamber, a second hydraulic chamber, a valve member, a cam member, and an actuator. The second hydraulic chamber is configured to be in fluid communication with the first hydraulic chamber. The valve member is configured to control a fluid communication between the first hydraulic chamber and the second hydraulic chamber. The cam member is rotatable about a rotational axis to move the valve member in a movement direction. The actuator is configured to rotate the cam member. The actuator includes an output shaft rotatable about an actuation rotational axis. The actuation rotational axis is offset from the rotational axis as viewed in the movement direction.

Abstract: A fluid flow control structure is provided for a telescopic apparatus of a human powered vehicle. The fluid flow control structure basically comprises a first tube, a second tube and a positioning structure. The second tube is telescopically coupled to the first tube to move in an axial direction. The positioning structure includes first, second and third fluid chambers, and a valve that defines a port that is selectively opened and closed. The valve includes a valve body that is movable relative to a valve seat in the axial direction to change a valve state between a closed state and an open state. The valve body fluidly separates the first and second fluid chambers in the closed state and to fluidly connect the first and second fluid chambers in the open state. The third fluid chamber includes a compressible fluid.
