A hub for bicycles including a hub shell which is rotatably supported relative to a hub axle, a rotor rotatably supported relative to the hub axle by means of two rotor bearings, and a freewheel device having two interacting freewheel components namely, a hub-side freewheel component and a rotor-side freewheel component. The two freewheel components each include axial engagement elements and they are movable relative to one another in the axial direction between a freewheel position and an intermeshing engaging position. Rolling members are provided for defined accommodation in the hub-side freewheel component to support the hub shell relative to the hub axle. An attachment portion and a centering portion are configured in the hub shell and an attachment area and a centering area are configured on the hub-side freewheel component. The attachment area is connected with the attachment portion and the centering area is centered on the centering portion.

Bicycle hub includes a shell rotatably supported relative to a hub axle, a rotor rotatably supported by two rotor bearings, and a freewheel device having two interacting freewheel components: a hub-side freewheel component and a rotor-side freewheel component. The freewheel components each include axial engagement elements and are axially movable relative to one another between a freewheel position and an engaging, driving torque position. The hub-side freewheel component includes a threaded axial body section and is screwed into the hub shell. The hub-side freewheel component has an axial, annular surface on which the axial engagement elements are configured. The rolling members of a hub bearing show a defined accommodation inside the hub-side freewheel component to support the shell relative to the hub axle. The hub-side freewheel component includes a tool contour which couples to an adapted tool for releasing the screw connection of the hub-side freewheel component with the shell.

A wheel includes a rim having a rim well and rim flanges, a hub, and at least three spoke elements. Each spoke element forms at least one spoke between the hub and the rim. The spoke elements are fastened to an inside of the rim in a form-closed manner or a form-closed and bonded manner. In the hub region, the spoke elements are supported on each other in a circumferential direction at abutting surfaces designed therefor. A method for producing the wheel is provided.

A lightweight wheel spoke for an automobile increases the strength around the heat dissipation holes by thickening the material around the heat dissipation hole on the inner wall of the spoke. The thinning of the material between the heat dissipation holes, that is where there is no heat dissipation holes on the tapered barrel, enables the tapered barrel of the spoke to form a unique concave-convex structure on the inner wall or the outer wall, thereby enabling the entire spoke to be secured.

A wheel for a motor vehicle, has a rim intended to receive a tire and a wheel disc made of fiber composite material joined to the rim, as well as an arrangement including screws or nuts for fastening the wheel disc to a wheel hub, for which purpose the wheel disc has axially directed openings for the passage of the screws or threaded bolts for screwing onto the nuts. The arrangement includes, for each opening of the wheel disc, an insulating body, a bush and a washer, each having a central opening, which surround the opening of the wheel disc in a U-shape, wherein the bush rests as a frame at an inner circumference of the opening, and the insulating body and the washer, resting against the frame and against the wheel disc in each case on one side of the wheel, at least partially cover the wheel disc in the radial direction. The insulating body is directed towards the wheel inside and the washer is directed towards the wheel outside. The insulating body can consist at least partially of ceramic material.

A structure of a bicycle wheel rim is disclosed. It comprises an inner rim frame and a composite rim body. The inner rim frame is provided with an inner rim part, two lateral ring parts respectively disposed on both sides of the inner rim part, two hooks respectively disposed on terminals of the two lateral ring parts, and an opening formed between the two hooks and having a supporting part. The composite rim body encapsulates the inner rim part, the two lateral rings and the two hooks.

Disclosed are a method of configuring an additional air chamber member on an outer circumferential surface of a well portion of the vehicle wheel as a Helmholtz resonator in a tire air chamber, comprising: preparing a plurality of additional air chamber members for each size of the vehicle wheel, each additional air chamber member corresponding to a different resonance frequency; and selecting one of the additional air chamber members with the corresponding resonance frequency from the additional air chamber members in accordance with a size of a tire used in combination with the vehicle wheel and an additional air chamber member information system using the method.

The present invention relates to an axle unit comprising an axle tube and an axle stub, wherein the axle stub is formed to be rotationally symmetrical with respect to a stub axis in some regions and has a channel which extends substantially parallel to the stub axis, wherein the axle stub has a first connection portion which has an engagement geometry for fluid-tight connection to the channel, wherein the axle tube is formed to be substantially rotationally symmetrical about a tube axis and wherein the axle tube and the axle stub are fixed on/to one another by way of a cross-member in such a way that the tube axis and the stub axis are spaced from one another.

A wheel with a rim as well as a wheel spider, where the wheel spider has a hub and spokes. The wheel includes spokes including one or more linearly stretched textile strands as reinforcement material of a fiber composite and each linearly stretched textile strand runs at least once from the rim to the hub and back without interruption and thus forms at least one spoke. The textile strands are connected in a positive-locking manner and/or in substance with the hub and the rim. A process is provided for the manufacture of the wheel.

A releasable wheel assembly is presented. The releasable wheel assembly includes a base plate and a bracket coupled to the base plate. The bracket includes multiple bosses and each boss includes a hole. An axle passing through the hole of each boss. The axle includes a circumferential groove adjacent to each end of the axle. Additionally, a brace is coupled to the base plate and the axle.
