Claims16
A bicycle wheel, comprising:
- a rim, having a first side and a second side;
- a hub located in a center of the rim;
- a driving device connected to the hub which is located on the first side of the rim;
- a plurality of first side pulling spokes, each of the first side pulling spokes connected to the rim and the hub, and located on the first side of the rim, wherein a vertical distance between an extending axis of each of the first side pulling spokes and a center of the hub is defined as a first arm (A11);
- a plurality of first side pushing spokes, each of the first side pushing spokes connected to the rim and the hub, and located on the first side of the rim, wherein a vertical distance between an extending axis of each of the first side pushing spokes and the center of the hub is defined as a second arm (A12);
- and
- a plurality of second side spokes, each of the second side spokes connected to the rim and the hub, and located on the second side of the rim;
- wherein, 0<(A11/A12);
- wherein a sum of each first arm between each first side pulling spoke and the center of the hub is defined as (ΣA11), and a sum of each first arm between each first side pushing spoke and the center of the hub is defined as (ΣA12);
- wherein, (ΣA11−ΣA12)>30 mm;
- wherein a number of the first side pulling spokes is greater than a number of the first side pushing spokes.
