ABSTRACT:
A four link member derailleur for a bicycle, which comprises a fixing member, two linkage members, and a movable member having a chain guide, and a return spring is provided with a control element having a plurality of engageable portions corresponding to the number of speed change stages and with a retainer engageable with each engageable portion at the control element to retain the movable member in a desired speed stage. The control element and retainer cooperate during shifting such that if a stroke of a control cable supported to the retainer is less than a given length, the retainer retains its engagement with each engageable portion, while if the stroke is greater than the given length, the retainer disengages from the engageable portion. A tension spring for stretching the cable and biasing the retainer in the direction of its disengagement from the engageable portions and an energy conservation spring for conserving energy when the cable is pulled to swing the retainer, are used to operate the movable member in rapid traverse-after the retainer disengages from the engageable portions.
