Abstract: The bicycle wheel manufactured by the method of the present invention is made of composite material and has two opposite braking surfaces, each of which is coated with a fluoride polymer layer. Specifically, the braking surfaces are sand blasted to remove a releasing agent layer coated on the wheel. The wheel is, thereafter, placed in a spraying machine at about 100 degree Celsius and then the braking surfaces are spray-coated with a material selected from the group consisting of polytetrafluoro ethylene, fluoride ethylene-propylene copolymer, polyfluoroalkyl, ethylene-tetrafluoro ethylene copolymer and the mixture thereof until a thickness of the material is bigger than 0.4 cm. Thereafter, the wheel is gradually heated to make the material set and form the fluoride polymer layers.

Abstract: A bicycle rim includes a substantially H-shaped outer part including an annular body and two sidewalls. A tire space is defined between the annular body and the two sidewalls. A substantially U-shaped inner part is connected to the outer part. The inner part and the outer part are made by composite material. The outer part is made before the inner part which is combined with the outer part in another mold.
