Rim, and method of manufacturing a rim

A method of manufacturing a rim from a fibrous composite material for bicycle wheels equipped with a disk brake, employing a tool device, wherein the tool device comprises:

• a plurality of tool components, wherein the tool components comprise two molding devices and one circular device, wherein the molding devices each comprise a flank contact surface for forming a lateral rim flank, and the circular device comprises a rim well contact surface, with the following steps:
• at least part of the tool components is provided, and a first varnish coat is applied to at least one rim contact surface on the tool components;
• the first varnish coat is dried;
• a first fiber layer of the fibrous composite material is applied to the flank contact surface of the molding devices, forming outer fiber layers of at least the greater part of a visible surface of the rim flanks;
• at least one first fiber layer of the fibrous composite material is applied to the circular device, which forms a rim well;
• the tool components of the tool device are interconnected, and the tool device is closed/locked;
• the tool device is heated up, and the varnish coat firmly bonds with the fibrous composite material as it hardens, forming the outermost layer and an outer layer of the rim;
• and
• the tool device is cooled down, and the rim is removed, and spoke holes are made.
