Systems and methods for wheel assemblies and spokes

A method of assembling a wheel, the method comprising:

• providing a rim, the rim comprising a plurality of rim holes extending through the rim at a plurality of angles, each of the plurality of angles is defined with respect to an axis normal to the rim at the respective location of each of the plurality of rim holes, the plurality of angles each having a first component defined with respect to the center line and a second component defined with respect to the radially normal axis;
• providing a hub, the hub comprising a plurality of hub holes the plurality of angles of the rim holes such that the plurality of rim holes are each aligned with the respective hub holes;
• connecting a plurality of spokes at a proximal end to the plurality of hub holes;
• and
• extending each of the plurality of spokes along the angle aligning each respective hole to connect connecting the plurality of spokes at a distal end to the plurality of rim holes.

A wheel spoke comprising:

• an elongated body configured to extend between a rim and a wheel hub, the elongated body comprising a high modulus carbon fiber and a blended synthetic material;
• a first threaded end;
• and
• a second threaded end.
