ABSTRACT:
A spoke for wheels of bicycles, wheelchairs, and the like includes an injection molded discontinuous fiber reinforced plastic shaft formed to have an airfoil shape cross-section, to be oriented in the wheel so as to provide the least wind drag. The shaft is formed with an axially extending threaded first hollow at a first end and an axially extending second hollow at a second end. The spoke further includes an elongate hub element formed with a bend at one end and threads at the other end for screwing into the first hollow of the shaft, and an elongate bar for insertion and securing at one end into the second hollow of the shaft. Threads are formed at the other end of the bar for connecting to the rim of the wheel.
