A handlebar mounted shifter system (26) and method in which the overall diameter of the shifter (32, 34) is reduced by providing an integrated clamp (72) and spring (74) assembly (70). The shifter housing (30) has a small diameter so that a rider may place his index finger comfortably on top of the housing (30) so that the distance between the rider's hand and the brake actuator (28) is reduced. In addition, the handlebar mounted shifter system (26) may support and guide the shifter cable (58) so that the shifter cable (58) does not flex undesirably.
L'invention concerne un système de changement de vitesses au guidon (26) pour bicyclette et un procédé correspondant, qui permettent de réduire le diamètre global du dispositif de changement de vitesses (32, 24) en introduisant un ensemble (70) intégré bride (72) et ressort (74). L'enceinte (30) du dispositif de changement de vitesses a un diamètre réduit, ce qui permet à l'utilisateur de placer confortablement son index sur le sommet de l'enceinte (30). On réduit ainsi la distance entre la main de l'utilisateur et la manette de frein (28). Par ailleurs, le système de changement de vitesses au guidon (26) peut supporter et guider le câble de changement de vitesse (58), si bien que ledit câble (58) ne subit pas de courbure indésirable.
