  • Patent number: 9428005
    Abstract: The invention relates to a bicycle component, for example a rim, comprising a body made from aluminium and a body made from composite material coupled with a first surface portion of the body made from aluminium. Such a first surface portion has been subjected to a deoxidation surface treatment. An adhesive substance has been then applied on at least part of said first surface portion for gluing the body made from aluminium to the body made from composite material. A second surface portion of the body made from aluminium has been subjected to an oxidation surface treatment with subsequent fixing of the oxide.
