Abstract

A bicycle frame element includes a frame tube, such as a downtube. The same forms an accommodation space for accommodating a battery. Further, a channel element is arranged in particular in the frame tube, which extends in the longitudinal direction of the frame tube, and serves to accommodate cables, wires, hydraulic lines and the like. To simplify the mounting, the channel element can be closed with a cover element. The cover element is held so as to be slidable in particular in the longitudinal direction.

Claims (21)

1. A bicycle frame element comprising

an accommodation space for a battery, provided in a frame tube of a bicycle frame, and

a channel element for cables, wires, hydraulic lines, etc. that extends in a longitudinal direction of the accommodation space,

wherein the channel element comprises at least two chambers extending in the longitudinal direction,

wherein the chambers are separated by a web,

wherein the web has at least one threaded bore which, in the mounted state, aligns with passage bores in the frame tube, and

wherein a cover element for closing the channel element is provided.

2. The bicycle frame element according to claim 1 , wherein the channel element is arranged in the frame tube.

3. The bicycle frame element according to claim 1 , wherein a holding element for the cover element is provided, extending in the longitudinal direction of the channel element.

4. The bicycle frame element according to claim 3 , wherein the holding element is provided at the cover element and/or at the channel element.

5. The bicycle frame element according to claim 3 , wherein the holding element is formed as a groove arranged at the channel element, into which groove the cover element can be inserted in the longitudinal direction.

6. The bicycle frame element according to claim 3 , wherein the holding element is formed as a groove arranged at the cover element, said groove cooperating with a protrusion of the channel element extending in the longitudinal direction.

7. The bicycle frame element according to claim 1 , wherein the web extends in the longitudinal direction.

8. The bicycle frame element according to claim 1 , wherein the web forms a part of the holding element.

9. The bicycle frame element according to claim 1 , wherein the channel element has a rear wall extending in the longitudinal direction.

10. The bicycle frame element according to claim 9 , wherein the web is arranged on an inner side of the rear wall of the channel element.

11. The bicycle frame element according to claim 1 , wherein the frame tube is a downtube of the bicycle frame.

12. The bicycle frame element according to claim 2 , wherein the channel element extends in the longitudinal direction of the frame tube.

13. The bicycle frame element according to claim 8 , wherein the web comprises two holding elements.

14. The bicycle frame element according to claim 9 , wherein an outer side of the rear wall of the channel element comprises a contour that substantially corresponds to a contour of an inner side of the frame tube.

15. The bicycle frame element according to claim 10 , wherein the web is formed integrally with the rear wall of the channel element.
