Abstract: A hub for a bicycle wheel includes a hub shell that defines one or more spoke holes. The hub shell includes a fiber reinforced material. The fiber reinforced material has one or more reinforcement fibers bending around the spoke holes to remain continuous around the spoke holes. One or more flanges with the spoke holes extend from the hub shell at an outer radial direction. A clutch or freehub adapter is coupled to the hub shell. Depending on the type of clutch mechanism used in the freehub, different clutch adapters can be incorporated into the hub.

Abstract: A bicycle rim has rim a pair of rim flanges that defines a tire channel. A rim strip extends across the tire channel. The rim strip includes a pair of flange bumpers configured to cover the rim flanges. The flange bumpers each define a flange channel in which one of the rim flanges is received. A pair of safety humps define corresponding tire seating sections where a tire is seated when inflated. The rim strip further includes a drop seal that seals with the beads of the tire to facilitate seating of the tire during inflation.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention comprise a composite rim used in spoked wheels, such as bicycle wheels, having molded-in spoke holes along with a method of fabricating the composite rim. Advantageously, the present invention dramatically improves the bearing and loading strength of prior art composite rims, which drill the spoke holes therein after fabrication of the rim hoop.

Abstract: A impact resistant rim is configured to soften or minimize an impact, thereby reducing the risk of pinching or otherwise flattening the tire and/or damaging the rim. This impact resistant rim further reduces the effects of an impact by maintaining the integrity of the rim during and following the impact. In this rim design, a shock absorbing cord is inlaid, molded, an/or otherwise embedded inside opposing leading edges of the rim. The shock absorbing cord is designed to elastically and/or plastically deform during an impact.

Abstract: A bicycle drive assembly may include an axle, a hub shell rotatably mounted on the axle by a first bearing, a free hub rotatably mounted on the axle by a second bearing, and a ratchet mechanism releasably coupling the free hub to the hub shell to transmit torque from the free hub to the hub. The ratchet mechanism may include a first ratchet ring having an inner surface joined to the hub shell for rotation with the hub shell and a second ratchet ring having an inner surface joined to the free hub for rotation with the free hub. The first ratchet ring and the second ratchet ring encircle and radially overlap the first bearing and the second bearing, respectively. At least one spring resiliently biases the first ratchet face and the second ratchet face into engagement to transmit torque from the free hub to the hub shell.

Abstract: A bicycle may include a frame, a cover and a latch. The frame may include a hollow tube having an interior and an access opening to the interior, wherein the cover closes the access opening. The latch is slidably coupled to the tube and releasably secures the cover to the tube. The latch is movable relative to the tub and the cover between a latched state and an unlatched state, wherein the latch remains coupled to the tube and is disconnected from the cover in the unlatched state.

Abstract: A bicycle seat post assembly includes a seat post that has a barrel, a cradle assembly, and a tilt mechanism. The cradle assembly is received in the barrel to secure a saddle to the seat post. The tilt mechanism is received in the barrel for setting saddle tilt. The tilt mechanism has at least one expander configured to at least expand. The expander is positioned in the barrel to exert a torque on the cradle assembly during expansion that causes the cradle assembly to rotate.
