  • Paired spoke bicycle wheel with optimized rim extrusion and spoke spacing and components thereof
    Patent number: 6679561
    Abstract: A paired spoke bicycle wheel has optimized circumferentially offset spoke spacing which minimizes high stress imposed by overly close spacing and reduces long felt difficulties resulting from out of balance loads of unpaired spokes, the rear wheel additionally having similar spoke angles in a lateral plane while displacing brake surfaces to a centered location when allowing for clearance for a drive cogset.
