Derailleurs are provided on bicycles to move or shift a chain between two or more sprockets for changing gears. Most multi-geared bicycles have front and rear derailleurs. The front and rear derailleurs are connected to shift operating devices via shift cables to shift gears. Each derailleurs has a fixed member adapted to be coupled to a portion of the bicycle, a chain guiding member for shifting the chain of the bicycle and a linkage assembly coupled between the fixed member and the chain guiding member. Link or pivot pins are used to couple the links of the linkage assembly to the fixed member and the chain guiding member. These link or pivot pins are removably and non-rotatably coupled to the fixed member and/or the chain guiding member. Preferably, the link or pivot pins have a head portion with an abutment surface and a shaft portion with a conically tapered free end and an annular groove for receiving a retaining clip.
