  • Patent number: 9599526
    Abstract: A hub for measuring the driving torque of a cycle wheel, the hub including a central shaft defining an axis of rotation of the wheel, and a hub body mounted to rotate freely about the shaft, the hub body including a central portion bordered on both sides by respective flanges, the flanges fastening at least one connecting element to connect the hub body to a rim of the wheel. The hub includes a system for measuring the driving torque of the wheel including strain gauges fixed on the hub body.

  • Publication number: 20160144660
    Abstract: A cycle wheel rim adapted to receive an open tire. The rim has a U-shaped radial cross section, with two sidewalls located on opposite sides of a median plane of the rim, and a lower bridge connecting the sidewalls. An upper bridge connects the sidewalls to form a closed contour. The upper bridge includes a median zone extending on opposite sides of the median plane. In the median zone and on a circumferential portion of the rim greater than or equal to 50% of its circumference, a reduced thickness of the upper bridge is less than 0.75 mm, or in an alternative embodiment, less than 0.65 mm.

  • Patent number: 8677837
    Abstract: A hub for measuring the driving power of a cycle wheel including a central shaft defining an axis of rotation of the wheel, a hub body mounted to rotate freely about the shaft, a flange mounted to rotate freely about the hub body and axially aligned with the hub body, as well as a torque sensor including a test body which supports at least one strain gauge. The torque sensor is housed in a two-part housing which includes a cutout, arranged in an outer radial surface of the hub body, and a notch, arranged in an outer radial surface of the flange.
