Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2004054818A1] The present invention relates to a wheel for a bicycle or other similar vehicles, which comprises a rim connected to a hub (2) by means of a set of spokes (1) that converge in pairs on two flanges (4, 5), one on either side of the hub (2), connected coaxially to said hub, characterised in that in each of the consecutive pairs of spokes (1), the first one is connected to the flange on the left-hand side (4), the second to the flange on the right-hand side (5), the third to the flange on the right-hand side (5) and the fourth to the flange on the left-hand side (4), this arrangement making it possible to balance the tension that in each pair of spokes is exerted between the rim (3) and the hub (2). It enables any type of rim with paired holes to be correctly balanced by means of the tightening of the spokes, thereby increasing the robustness of the wheel and reducing the effort required when functioning.
