An internal hub transmission for a bicycle comprises a hub axle (21) having an axle axis for retaining the transmission to a bicycle frame; a driver (22) rotatably supported relative to the hub axle (21); and a power transmission mechanism disposed between the driver (22) and the output member (23) for communicating rotational force of the driver (22) to the output member (23) through a plurality of transmission paths. An operation mechanism (25) is disposed at least partly in the hub axle (21) for movement in the direction of the axle axis to select among the plurality of transmission paths, An actuating mechanism (70, 71, 73, 74) is mounted on the hub axle (21) inboard of a free end of the hub axle for moving the operation mechanism (25) in the direction of the axle axis. The inventive internal hub transmission employs a facture that prevents damage to the acutating mechanism and keeps objects from hitting or snagging on the actuating mechanism. <IMAGE> |
