摘要:
A wheel (10) with a rim (12) and at least one spoke (14) includes a rim (12) wherein the depth of the rim (12) varies circumferentially around the rim (12). At least one spoke (14) with a first end (16) connected to the rim (12) and a second end (18) connected to a wheel hub (20) is provided wherein the cross section of the spoke (14) varies from the first end (16) to the second end (18). The rim (12) depth varies circumferentially so that the depth is greater between the spokes (14) and less at the spokes (14). Further, the spoke (14) cross section is symmetrical at the second end (18) connected to the wheel hub (20) and asymmetrical at the first end (16). The asymmetrical shape of the first end (16) is preferably an ellipse with a leading edge ellipse (30) shape that is constant from the first end (16) to the second end (18) and a trailing edge ellipse shape (32) that is the same dimension as the leading edge (30) at the second end (18) and thereafter decreases in dimension from the second end (18) to the first end (16). Further, in a preferred embodiment, the rim (12), and/or spoke(s) (14), is a hollow structure manufactured from multiple nested, tubular braids (40, 41 and 42).

A fiber resin plastic (FRP) based bicycle rim (10) includes an FRP body (12) and a metal tire receiving ring (14). The FRP body (12) has first (20) and second (22) side surfaces, an annular outer edge surface (41), and an annular inner edge surface (24). The annular inner edge surface (24) includes at least two spoke receiving ports (38) for receiving and supportively coupling at least two spokes (34) to the FRP body (12). The metal tire receiving ring (14) is coupled to the FRP body (12) and is disposed radially outwardly of the FRP body (12). The tire receiving ring (14) includes first (52) and second (54), generally parallel continuous braking surfaces.

摘要:
A carbon fiber rim comprises a circular rim and a heat conduction layer. The circular rim comprises carbon fiber composites, and has two opposite side surfaces facing two brake pads and two opposite hooks extending outward radially to hold tires. The heat conduction layer is arranged on the side surface of the circular rim for forming a braking region facing the brake pad. The heat conduction layer comprises a porous or mesh heat conduction material. A bicycle including the aforementioned carbon fiber rim and the manufacturing method of the carbon fiber rim are also disclosed here. The carbon fiber rim can prevent distortion due to frictional heat when braking.
