ABSTRACT:
A hub (10) for a spoked wheel includes flanges (18) having a plurality of open-topped slots (20) for receiving spokes (22). The hub is designed for use with spokes having an elongated shaft portion (30) and an enlarged head portion (32). The slots have an open end (25) at a periphery of the flange and an enlarged closed end (27) located between the periphery of the flange and an axis of rotation of the hub. The enlarged end of the slot is wide enough to accommodate the enlarged end portion of the spoke. A narrowest portion (29) of the slot is only wide enough to accommodate the shaft portion of the spoke. Slots in a flange member are arranged in a pattern corresponding to a lacing pattern of spokes in a the wheel. A spoke may be laid into a slot with the enlarged head portion of the spoke in the enlarged portion of the slot, and with the spoke in its correct orientation in the spoke-lacing pattern.
