Project Description

Spokes are the connecting rods between the bicycle hub and the rim. Their main purpose is to transfer the loads between the hub and the rim, which are caused by the weight of the rider and the bike. When the wheel is built all the spokes are tightened to a high tension, more tension than the weight of a person adds. This spoke tension preloads the whole rim with compressive stress, enough to stop the rim area below the hub from buckling. Spokes have nut-like devices at the rim called nipples. When viewed from above, nipples are turned clockwise with the spoke wrench to tighten spoke tension and counter clockwise to loosen it. Modern spokes are available in a variety of lengths, shapes, materials, finishes, and attachment types. All spokes provide the basic function of connecting the hub to the rim.
