Abstract:
A bicycle wheel (10, 12) has a hub (20a, 20b), a plurality of spokes (22a, 22b) extending outwardly from the hub and an annular rim (24a, 24b) coupled to the outer ends of the spokes for supporting a tire (26a, 26b). The annular rim has a spoke attachment portion (72) with a plurality of openings (74) for receiving the outer ends (40) of the spokes therein. The outer ends (40) of the spokes are bent such that first sections (50) of the spokes are offset from second sections (52) of the spokes. These bends are positioned in the openings of the rims to retain the outer ends of the spokes in the openings of the rim. In selected embodiments, a fastener (160) or an adhesive may be used to more securely retain the outer ends (40) of the spokes (22a, 22b) in the openings (74) of the rim (24a, 24b). In certain other embodiments, the spoke attachment portion of the rim can be constructed of individually spaced elements (571, 671) which can either be fastened to the rim or form unitary part of the rim.
