    摘要: A rim for a bicycle wheel includes a radially inner portion disposed along an inner circumference of the rim. The rim also includes a first sidewall, a second sidewall spaced apart from the first sidewall, and a radially outer tire engaging portion disposed along an outer circumference of the rim. The first sidewall, the second sidewall, the radially outer tire engaging portion, the radially inner portion, or any combination thereof includes a composite laminate. The composite laminate includes a layer of a composite material. The composite material includes a matrix of a polymer-based material and natural fibers of a reinforcing material. A volume of a respective one of the natural fibers of the layer of the composite material is greater before lamination of the composite laminate compared to the volume of the respective one natural fiber after the lamination of the composite laminate.

    摘要: The invention relates to an adjustment tool (80) for adjusting the tension of a spoke (30) of a spoked wheel (100) for bicycle, comprising an elongated body (82) extending along a longitudinal axis (Y) and having a central longitudinal cavity (84) configured to house an end portion (32) of the spoke (30) and a longitudinal through slit (86) configured to allow the housing of said end portion (32) of the spoke (30) in said longitudinal cavity (84). The elongated body (82) comprises a grip portion (87) and a shaped end portion (88) extending along said longitudinal axis (Y) and configured to couple with a stem (42) of a spoke attachment element (40). Said shaped end portion (88) has an outer bulk, defined on a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis (Y) of the elongated body (82), smaller than that of said grip portion (87) and smaller than the diameter of a spoke attachment hole (18) provided in a rim (10) of the wheel (100) and in which said stem (42) is inserted.

    摘要: This bicycle wheel comprises a rim (11) connected to a hub (12) by a plurality of spokes (13), wherein at least one of the spokes (13) is anchored to the rim (11) through a nipple (20) having a stem (21) inserted in a hole (17) in a bridge (16) of the rim (11) and facing towards the hub (12) and an enlarged head (22) hooked to the bridge (16). An abutment interface (30) between the head (22) of the nipple (20) and the bridge (16) of the rim (11) comprises:
    - a first washer (31), with a radially inner first face (32) abutting on the bridge (16) and a radially outer second face (33),
    - a second washer (41), with a radially inner first face (42) abutting on the second face (33) of the first washer (31) and a radially outer second face (43) abutting on the head (22) of the nipple (20).
    The faces (32, 33, 42, 43) of the washers (31, 41) are shaped so as to allow the washers (31, 41) to make adjustment movements both with respect to each other and with respect to the nipple (20), during an initial step of the fixing operation of the spoke (13) to the rim (11), and vice-versa so as to prevent the washers (31, 41) from making any adjustment movement both with respect to one another and with respect to the nipple (20), during a subsequent fixing step of the spoke (13) to the rim (11) in which the nipple (20) has tension applied to it through the spoke (13).
