US Patent 10407127 Bicycle sprocket

A bicycle sprocket comprises a sprocket body, a plurality of sprocket teeth, at least one shifting facilitation projection, and at least one bump portion. The at least one shifting facilitation projection is configured to engage with a bicycle chain in a first shifting operation in which the bicycle chain is shifted from the bicycle sprocket toward a smaller sprocket. The at least one bump portion is provided on a downstream side of the at least one shifting facilitation projection in a driving rotational direction in which the bicycle sprocket rotates during pedaling. The at least one bump portion is spaced apart from the at least one shifting facilitation projection by a distance that is equal to or smaller than two chain pitches.
