ABSTRACT:
A front derailleur for use in a bicycle. The front derailleur provides a plurality of speeds through selective engagement of a driving chain with any one of at least three sprockets by applying a control force to a portion of a link mechanism urged by an urging member thereby moving a chain guide connected with the link mechanism against the urging force of the urging member. The link mechanism is operable to move the chain guide while varying its posture so as to provide an increased pivot amount between the sprocket pair adjacent the urging side whereas to provide a reduced pivot amount between the sprocket pair distant from the urging side, in comparison with the conventional mechanism of this type. This novel construction permits sufficient urging force at the middle sprocket position in accordance with increase in the deformation amount of the urging member, thereby to provide a reliable change speed operation by the sufficient urging force.
