A method for making a bicycle rim, having a rim body with at least one integrated cavity . The cavity is enclosed by a component wall. The rim body extends in a rim plane over 360° transverse to its rotational axis. The cavity forms a chamber in the rim body. A plurality of component walls have two lateral rim flanks, a radial inner rim base and a radial outer rim well, which limit the chamber. A rim body support structure is formed by a fibre structure. A fibre bundle is attached to a carrier layer and passed reciprocally on the carrier layer to form a basic fibre layer of the fibre structure. The fibre structure is draped in a tool mould. A filling unit is placed in the tool mould so that the filling unit keeps the volume free for the cavity and the cavity is surrounded by the component wall.
A method for producing a bicycle rim comprising a rim body with at least one cavity integrated within it, wherein the rim body extends in a rim plane over a circumference of 360° transverse to its rotational axis, and wherein the cavity forms a hollow chamber in the rim body,;
A bicycle rim with a rim body at least one integrated cavity;
