ABSTRACT:
The derailleur includes a linkage mechanism comprising a fixing member fixed to the bicycle frame, a pair of linkage members pivoted to the fixing member, and a movable member carrying a chain guide and pivoted to the linkage members. The linkage mechanism is provided with a displacement structure which elastically biases the linkage mechanism axially of a multistage sprocket assembly when subjected to a force or pressure greater than a normal resistance against speed change, thereby preventing the fixing member and bicycle frame from being plastically deformed as a result of a sudden forceful impact, such as in a collision, hitting a foreign object of if the bicycle falls down.
