Definitions
- the invention relates to a bicycle rear wheel with a rim held off-center by spokes.
- Bicycle rear wheels for bicycles with a derailleur system have an axle with a hub and an adjoining ring gear set of up to 10 gears.
- Two hub flanges are provided on both axial ends of the hub for fastening the spokes.
- the rear wheel axle thus consists of the hub with the two hub flanges and the adjacent gear set. If the rim is held in the center between the two hub flanges by the spokes, the spokes of both hub flanges protrude symmetrically and at the same angle to the outside, however the rim is not held in the center of the rear wheel axle, but off-center. This asymmetry has undesirable effects on the running behavior of the bicycle.
- spoke lengths can be selected for the outer spokes and shorter for the axially center spokes, so that the rim is not clamped in the middle between the two hub flanges, but rather in the middle of the axle.
- the shorter, axially centered spokes which are approximately in a radial plane, can only absorb small lateral forces without tearing.
- a bicycle rear wheel is known from EP 0 494 277, in which the fastening means plane of the spokes on the rim is not in the center of the rim, but laterally offset from the center of the rim.
- the spokes of both hub flanges can be arranged more symmetrically to the hub center plane, which, despite the lateral offset of the rim, ensures better suspension and guidance behavior of the spokes.
- the rim has a hollow chamber delimited by hollow-chamber walls on the inside of the rim bed, into which the spoke ends open and are laterally offset on a wall of the hollow chamber and fastened to the center of the rim bed.
- a box-like shape of the rim body is aerodynamically unfavorable.
- the lateral hollow chamber walls converge towards the center of the wheel, so that the rim body tapers towards the center of the wheel. This creates an aerodynamic shape of the rim, but at the same time the lateral offset to the center of the rim bed is forcibly reduced to a small extent, which reduces the lateral offset of the rim to a few millimeters, particularly in the case of narrow rims.
- the object of the invention is therefore to increase the lateral offset of the spoke mounting plane and to improve the aerodynamics of the rim.
- one of the spoke ends adjacent lateral hollow chamber wall projects laterally beyond the rim addition, so that the lateral displacement of the spoke anchoring greater than a quarter of the inner rim width and the anchoring plane is situated approximately in the edge region of the rim bed.
- the rim body is bulged on one side in the region of the hollow chamber, whereby the lateral offset of the spoke attachment plane to the center plane of the rim can be increased considerably at the same time. In this way, on the one hand, it is achieved that, even in the case of gear rims with a large number of gear wheels, the rim base lies approximately in the center line of the rear axle, while at the same time ensuring that the rim is spoked approximately symmetrically.
- the distance between the anchoring plane and the edge of the rim base is less than 2.0 mm.
- the edge of the rim base means the rim flange facing inwards towards the center plane of the rim, which defines the opening width of the rim.
- the anchoring elements preferably protrude completely into the hollow chamber.
- Threaded nuts for example, can be used as anchoring elements, which are screwed onto the spoke ends that have a corresponding external thread.
- Threaded nuts known from the prior art protrude radially in the direction of the hub from the rim and thereby increase the air resistance. By moving the entire anchoring element into the hollow chamber, the anchoring element no longer protrudes from the rim. This reduces the air resistance of the rear wheel. Due to the complete displacement of the anchoring elements in the hollow chamber, they are also better protected against environmental influences, which increases the durability of the rear wheel.
- the rim base has openings for access to the spoke ends and the anchoring elements in the hollow chamber.
- the anchoring element can be applied to the end of the spoke inserted into the hollow chamber and, if necessary, tightened to the desired spoke tension.
- the openings in the rim base floor ensure good accessibility to the anchoring elements.
- the rim base floor openings are closed by a rim tape or by other suitable means and the tube and the tire are pulled onto the rim base. In this way, on the one hand, good accessibility of the anchoring elements is ensured, but, on the other hand, a watertight closure of the openings by the hose and the tire is ensured.
- the rim-side ends of the spokes are thickened compared to the rest of the spoke area.
- the thickening can be a few tenths of a mm, but also more than 1.0 mm.
- Each spoke tends to tear in the area of its anchorages, since additional bending forces often occur in this area and the spoke is also reduced in its core diameter, for example by a thread. Thickening the end of the spoke significantly reduces the risk of breakage in this area.
- the hollow chamber side walls are arranged approximately in a V-shape.
- the hollow chamber side walls thus taper towards the center of the wheel towards the center of the wheel in the manner of an oblique italic V. This creates a rim body with a large lateral anchoring level offset and at the same time very good aerodynamic properties.
- a contact shoulder for the spoke end is provided at the spoke opening in the hollow chamber wall, against which the spoke end rests and experiences a bend of at least 1.0 ° in this area.
- the end of the spoke is inclined by at least 1.0 ° in the direction of the central plane with respect to the rest of the spoke orientation. It is thereby achieved that the inclination of the spokes is greater to the median plane 'than without the deflection at the spoke ends. Due to the greater inclination of the spokes compared to the central plane, the Stabilization of the rim against lateral lateral forces achieved. The thickening of the spoke ends extends over the entire bending area of the spoke end.
- the anchoring element is preferably a threaded nut which has a spherical polygonal head which can be actuated with a corresponding polygonal tool.
- the ends of the spokes open into the hollow chamber at different angles.
- the polygonal tool can be placed on the polygonal head and rotated in a wide range of angles.
- the connection between the polygonal tool and the spherical polygonal head acts like a universal joint. In this way, the threaded nut can also be operated under the given narrow space conditions, regardless of the angle at which it is at the rim body and thus at the inserted polygonal tool.
- FIG. 2 is an enlarged view of a first cross section of the rim of the rear wheel of FIG. 1,
- FIG. 3 is an enlarged view of a second cross section of the rim of the rear wheel of FIG. 1st
- a bicycle rear wheel 10 which has on its rear wheel axis 12 a rotatable ring gear set 14 for operation with a derailleur and a rotatable rear wheel hub 16 on a fixed Has rear axle shaft 17. Due to the laterally arranged ring gear set 14, the rear wheel hub 16 is not arranged symmetrically in the middle and symmetrically to the central axis plane 18, but laterally offset to the central axis plane 18.
- the rear wheel hub 16 has a hub flange 20, 22 on both axial ends, which is designed in the form of a circumferential radial web.
- a plurality of metal spokes 24, 26 are hooked onto each of the two hub flanges 20, 22, each of which is arranged approximately at the same angle of inclination to the central axis plane 18 and converging towards the radially outward.
- a circular rim 30 is held and centered by the spokes 24, 26.
- the rim 30 is formed by an asymmetrical rim body 32.
- the rim body 32 of the rim 30 comprises a symmetrical rim bed 34 for receiving a bicycle tube and bicycle tire, and a hollow chamber 36 which adjoins the rim bed 34 radially on the inside and is formed by hollow chamber walls 37, 38, 39 and the bottom 41 of the fig bed 34.
- the lateral hollow chamber walls 37, 39 are arranged in the form of an italic oblique V, so that the hollow chamber 36 tapers toward the center of the wheel.
- the hollow chamber bottom wall 38 closes the tapering radially inner end of the hollow chamber 36 and offers a sufficient surface for fixing anchoring elements 42 for anchoring the spokes 24, 26 in the hollow chamber 36.
- Threaded nuts 42 are provided as anchoring elements, which are screwed onto a corresponding external thread at the spoke ends 44 for tensioning the spokes 24, 26.
- the trained as threaded nuts 42 Anchoring elements protrude completely into the hollow chamber 36 and do not protrude from the rim body 32.
- the spoke ends 44 are inserted into the hollow chamber 36 from the outside through corresponding spoke openings 46, 47 of the hollow chamber bottom wall 38 and the hollow chamber side walls 37, 39.
- Access openings 68 are provided in the rim base 41 for access to the threaded nuts 42.
- the two lateral opening edges of the rim base 34 are formed by the rim flanges 56, 58.
- the edge of the rim flange 56 facing away from the gear rim set 14 forms a corresponding rim edge plane 60.
- the distance R between the rim rim plane 60 and the anchoring plane 52 is approximately 0.5 mm.
- the distance R between the rim edge plane 60 and the anchoring plane 52 can also assume other values in other configurations according to the invention, however the distance R of the anchoring plane 52 from the rim edge plane 60 in the direction of the gear rim set 14 is not greater than 2.0 mm. This results in a rim offset V between the rim center plane 54 and the anchoring plane 52, which moves in the region of half the rim width b / 2.
- the hollow chamber side wall 37 facing away from the ring gear set 14 has a lateral bead-like circumferential protuberance 40 in the region of the hollow chamber 36.
- the protuberance height is approximately 2.5 mm compared to the corresponding outer side of the rim base 34.
- the bulge-like protuberance 40 expands the hollow chamber 36 in the area of the threaded nuts 42 on the side facing away from the ring gear set 14 in such a way that the threaded nuts 42 despite the strong lateral offset V of the anchoring level 52 within the Cavity 36 are arranged and can also be operated by a suitable tool 70.
- the threaded nut 42 has a spherical hexagon head 43 which can be unscrewed from the spoke end 44 with the hexagon socket tool 70 in the manner of a universal joint or screwed onto the spoke end 44.
- the spoke ends 44 are thickened over a length of about 3 cm compared to the rest of the spoke area.
- the thickening of the spoke ends 44 is a few tenths of a millimeter and serves to reinforce the spoke.
- the spoke openings 46, 48 in the respective hollow chamber side walls 39, 37 and the respectively corresponding spoke openings 49, 47 in the hollow chamber bottom wall 38 are aligned with one another.
- the alignment is 2 ° in each case. inclined up to 3 ° to a wheel center plane in relation to the spoke inclination.
- the radially inner spoke openings 46, 48 form an abutment shoulder for the spoke ends 44.
- Each spoke 24, 26 is bent in the area of the spoke end 44 by 2 ° to 3 ° to the anchoring plane 52 through the contact shoulder. As a result, the inclination of the spokes 24, 26 with respect to the anchoring plane 52 is increased by several degrees, which in turn improves the support of the rim 30 with respect to transverse forces.
- the hollow chamber bottom wall 38 is concave on the inside and the end face of the threaded nut is rounded correspondingly convex. This ensures a flat fit of the threaded nut end face on the hollow chamber bottom wall 38, regardless of the angle at which the spoke end 44 and thus the threaded nut 42 stands on the bottom wall 38. In this way, a selective contact and a wedge effect of the threaded nut 42 is avoided that an unwanted tearing out of the corresponding spoke openings 49, 47 is excluded.
- the total offset G between the axis center plane 18 and the rim center plane 54 is reduced to a small extent, namely to a maximum of a few millimeters.
- an approximately axially central position of the rim base 34 and thus of the rear wheel tire is realized.
