Abstract
A rim includes a first connection bridge, a second connection bridge and two walls connected to two sides of the first and second connection bridges. Multiple through holes are defined through the second connection bridge and multiple seats are defined in the first connection bridge and located corresponding to the through holes. Each seat has a recess facing the second connection bridge and an installation hole is defined through each of the seats. Multiple engaging members each have a passage and are respectively engaged with the installation holes. Each of the engaging members is matched with the recess and has a contact surface so that the head of the spoke is securely connected to contact surface. The connection between the spokes and the rim dispenses stress to the engaging members.
