ABSTRACT:
A wheel includes a wheel rim having a number of orifices defined by one or more flanges for threading with spokes. A number of latches are attached to the spokes, and each includes a base having a shape for engaging through the orifices of the wheel rim. Each of the latches includes a catch disposed on the base, and also engageable through the orifices of the wheel rim, and having one or more cut off portions to form one or more tongues in the base. The catches are engageable into the orifices of the wheel rim when rotated relative to the wheel rim, to engage the tongue of the base with the inner surface of the wheel rim, and thus to anchor the latch to the wheel rim.
