Abstract: An alignment jig for holding components relative to a bicycle frame during curing, the alignment jig comprising, a spacing axel adapted to hold respective components a selected distance apart; and an alignment wedge coupled to and spaced from the spacing axel, the alignment wedge adapted to fit between and contact the inner surfaces of a pair of stays of a bicycle frame to align the alignment jig relative to the bicycle frame.

Abstract: An apparatus for molding a composite material comprising a plurality of mold pieces that cooperate to form a mold having a mold cavity for molding a composite part, the plurality of mold pieces split along a plurality of part lines configured to reduce voiding, the plurality of part lines comprising part lines running from a plurality of voiding areas of the mold cavity to an outer surface of the mold and adapted to provide bleed lines for the plurality of voiding areas.

Abstract: A reusable mandrel for forming flexible molding bladders. The mandrel comprises a base adapted to form a bladder opening and a secondary mandrel piece coupled to the base to form a complex mandrel shape. The secondary mandrel piece is adapted to be removable from the base when within a bladder formed on the mandrel to allow the base and the secondary mandrel piece to be removed from the bladder through the bladder opening without damaging the bladder. The reusable mandrel is configurable in a non-removable and a removable configuration.

Abstract: A bicycle rim may control the two beads of the tire with separate bead channels for each bead and a center bridge extending between the two bead channels. A bicycle assembly comprises a bicycle rim having an attachable annular strip formed separately from the bicycle rim and attached to the bicycle rim along a center line of the center channel. The annular strip comprises a set of strip sidewalls and a center section extending between the strip sidewalls, wherein the strip sidewalls are spaced at less than the channel width such that the strip forms a pair of bead channels in cooperation with the channel first outer sidewall and channel second outer sidewall.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide aerodynamic bicycle rims and wheels. Embodiments can include a bicycle rim that is wider than the width of the tire proximate to the outer edge of the rim and is shaped so that there is a tangent line tangent to the rim and the tire. The tangent line can be tangent to the rim on the sidewall or elsewhere on the rim. The widest part of the rim can be radially inward from the outer edge of the rim or elsewhere on the rim and the tangent line can be tangent at the widest part of the rim or elsewhere on the rim.

Abstract: A bicycle disc wheel comprises a first disc panel and a second disc panel. The first disc panel has a first side outer surface and a first side inner surface and the second disc panel has a second side outer surface and a second side inner surface. The first side outer surface radially extends from a first disc panel outer perimeter to a center opening and the second side outer surface radially extends from a second disc panel outer perimeter to the center opening. The second side inner surface faces the first side inner surface. A brace is coupled to the first side inner surface and the second side inner surface that provide radial and axial structural support to the disc panels.

Abstract: Bicycle rims that allow tires to be more easily mounted in a tubeless configuration are disclosed. More specifically, a bicycle rim may control the two beads of the tire with separate bead channels for each bead and a center bridge extending between the two bead channels.
