ABSTRACT:
A bicycle is provided with wheels wherein the spokes extend from nailheads secured in the rim of the wheel inwardly to an annular flange at the hub. Radially inwardly of the annular flange of the hub, a threaded nipple receives a threaded end of the spoke, allowing for adjustment of the tension in the spoke. The size of the holes in the rim of the spokes is reduced and enhances the strength of the rim. The spokes extend straight, without bends, and are therefore able to bear more tension, and the number of spokes may consequently be reduced.
