Claims
- 1. A rear tensioned spoked bicycle wheel comprising
- a hub assembly including a proximate hub flange, an opposed hub flange, at least one sprocket adjacent to said proximate hub flange and an axle, said proximate hub flange and said opposed hub flange each having a sprocket side,
- a rim,
- proximate spokes, each having an elbow, connecting said rim to said proximate hub flange so that said elbows are adjacent to the sprocket side of said proximate hub flange, and
- opposed spokes, each having an elbow, connecting said rim to said opposed hub flange so that said elbow is adjacent to the sprocket side of said opposed hub flange.
- 2. The bicycle wheel claimed in claim 1 wherein said elbows of said proximate spokes are substantially co-planar in a plane which is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of said axle.
- 3. The bicycle wheel claimed in claim 1 wherein said elbows of said opposite spokes are substantially co-planar in a plane which is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of said of said axle.
- 4. The bicycle wheel claimed in claim 1 wherein said elbows of said opposite spokes are substantially co-planar in a plane which is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of said axle and wherein said elbows of said proximate spokes are co-planar in a plane which is substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of said axle.
- 5. The bicycle wheel claimed in claim 4 wherein the distances between said elbows of said proximate spokes and the longitudinal axis of said axle are less than the distances between said elbows of said proximate spokes and the longitudinal axis of said axle.
- 6. A tensioned spoked bicycle wheel comprising
- a hub assembly including a proximate hub flange, an opposed hub flange, a brake disk adjacent to said proximate hub flange and an axle, said proximate hub flange and said opposed hub flange each having a disk side,
- a rim,
- proximate spokes, each having an elbow, connecting said rim to said proximate hub flange so that said elbows are adjacent to the disk side of said proximate hub flange, and
- opposed spokes, each having an elbow, connecting said rim to said opposed hub flange so that said elbow is adjacent to the disk side of said opposed hub flange.
- 7. The bicycle wheel claimed in claim 6 wherein said elbows of said proximate spokes are substantially co-planar in a plane which is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of said axle.
- 8. The bicycle wheel claimed in claim 6 wherein said elbows of said opposite spokes are substantially co-planar in a plane which is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of said of said axle.
- 9. The bicycle wheel claimed in claim 6 wherein said elbows of said opposite spokes are substantially co-planar in a plane which is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of said of said axle and wherein said elbows of said proximate spokes are substantially co-planar in a plane which is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of said axle.
- 10. The bicycle wheel claimed in claim 9 wherein the distances between said elbows of said proximate spokes and the longitudinal axis of said axle are less than the distances between said elbows of said proximate spokes and the longitudinal axis of said axle.
