Method for the manufacturing of a rim ring, method for the fixing of spokes, rim, in particular clincher-rim, and bicycle

Abstract

A method for the manufacturing a rim with a layer structure for a muscle-powered vehicle is disclosed. The method includes providing a first, pressure and temperature resistant mould. A first plane reinforcement fibre package consisting of at least two separate layers of reinforcement fibres is inserted into the first mould. One or several reinforcement fibre mat(s) are inserted into the first mould onto the first reinforcement fibre package. A second flat reinforcement fibre package consisting of at least two separate layers of reinforcement fibres is inserted into the first mould onto the one or several reinforcement fibre mat(s). A spacer is inserted into the first mould and the first mould is closed by means of a second, pressure and temperature-resistant mould. The layered structure is hardened and the rim may be removed from the moulds. Rims, running wheel and bicycles manufactured using the described process are also disclosed.
