The present disclosure provides a method for manufacturing a bicycle wheel. A fairing is positioned relative to a base rim that comprises a plurality of anchor holes. A hub is positioned in the central opening and a plurality of spokes inserted into the hub. A spoke is fed from a first side of the fairing to a second side of the fairing through a respective spoke access opening in the fairing. The fairing is pulled back from the base rim to provide a work opening and the spoke manipulated from the second side of the fairing via the work opening to guide the first spoke to a respective anchor opening in the base rim. The spoke is attached to the base rim using a respective spoke nipple. The outer portion of the fairing is bonded to the base rim to create a deep aerodynamic rim.
