Abstract:
A spoked bicycle wheel is presented where the masses of a set of spoke connections for connection of a hub and a rim as a whole are imbalanced with respect to the rotational axis. In such a way the dynamic imbalance of the wheel due to localized mass increases at the valve and at a possible joint is reduced or eliminated.
Abstract:
An element for the attachment of a spoke in a bicycle wheel at a seat hole has a body, an axial hole, and can engage a tool. The body is of greater transverse size than a seat hole, and abuts the seat hole at a first end of the body. The axial hole extends from the first end in the body and engages a spoke. The element engages a tool at a second end of the body opposite the first end. Finally, the maximum transverse size of said body is defined by side surface portions of said body other than the area of the second end that engages the tool.

A spoked bicycle wheel is presented having at least one intraspoke zone with a reduced average wall thickness to reduce or eliminate the dynamic imbalance of the wheel resulting from localized mass increases at the valve and at a possible joint.

Abstract:
A spoke for a bicycle wheel has an elongated metallic material body that extends along a longitudinal axis X-X and has a first end portion for the attachment to a hub of a bicycle wheel, a second end portion for the attachment to a rim of a bicycle wheel and an intermediate portion having a portion which is flattened in a transversal direction Z perpendicular to the longitudinal axis X-X and extending along the longitudinal axis X-X up to the first end portion. The first end portion of the spoke is also flattened in the transversal direction Z and is gradually joined to the flattened portion of the intermediate portion along the longitudinal axis X-X.
Abstract:
An anti-friction bearing interposable at the crossing-over point between two spokes of a bicycle wheel comprises a body having a through hole, with a completely closed continuous part, and giving out onto two opposite ends of the body to receive through it one of the two spokes. The body further includes a portion of external surface in contact with the other spoke.
