ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to a bicycle speed change lever comprising a support shaft secured to a mounting member, a lever body pivotally mounted on the support shaft, and a click plate disposed adjacent the lever body so as to be slightly movable in opposite directions about the support shaft for presenting the alternative of two positional phases. A plurality of spaced circular holes are formed in the click plate and aligned in an arc of a circle, a steel ball is retained between a base portion of the lever body and the click plate so as to be disengageable with any one of the plurality of circular holes, and a phase converting mechanism for converting the positional phases of the click plate from one phase to the other and vice versa. The phase converting mechanism including an engaging member formed with the click plate and a switching member secured to the mounting member which cooperate to effect the phase converting only when the lever body is pivotally moved in a reverse direction.
