Abstract: The invention relates to a rim and to a method for its production, in particular for bicycles, using a machining device for the working a welding burr of the rim. The machining device comprises a machining means working the outer contour of the rim and a another machining means working the inner contour of the rim, that has an outer diameter being less than the width of the rim well. The main steps of the method include movement of the first means along the outer contour of the rim to work the welding burr on the outer contour and movement of the second means along the inner contour of the rim to work the welding burr on the inner contour. During machining the inner contour the rim is pivoted around an axis by a predefined angular range.

Abstract: A wheel, a rim, a rim eyelet and a spoke nipple, particularly for a bicycle, wherein the rim eyelet has a throughbore to receive a spoke nipple. The spoke nipple includes a nipple body and a nipple thread to work in concert with a spoke. At least one contact layer made from a material which effects a reduction in friction at the area of contact is provided between the spoke and the rim eyelet of the wheel's rim.
