A bicycle transmission assembly that is mountable to a bottom bracket
shell of a bicycle frame. The bicycle transmission assembly includes an
input crank assembly, an output chainring, a planetary gear mechanism, a
control system and a mounting system. The planetary gear mechanism is
mounted coaxially about an axis of the bottom bracket shell and provides
a plurality of transmission paths. The control system is operatively
connected to the planetary gear mechanism for selecting one of the
transmission paths. The mounting system mounts the planetary gear
mechanism and the control system to the bottom bracket shell. The
mounting system includes at least one attachment point disposed on at
least one frame boss extending radially outwardly from the bottom bracket
shell. The control system is mounted nonrotatably to the at least one
attachment point.
