Wheel component for a bicycle

A wheel component for bicycles, comprising:

• a connecting element of a spoke system, loaded in tension during operation and designed as a spoke;
• wherein the spoke extends in the axial direction and comprises a center piece and two end pieces in order to detachably connect the spoke to a hub and to a rim by means of the end pieces;
• wherein the spoke is manufactured from a fiber composite material and comprises at least one matrix material and reinforcing elements embedded therein;
• wherein at least one end piece of the spoke has a thread in order to connect the spoke to a thread of another connecting element;
• wherein the thread of the spoke is designed as non-symmetrical in the axial direction, so that one respective thread flank is designed as significantly shallower than the other, steeper thread flank;
• the end pieces are designed integrally with the center piece and respectively form an end of the spoke, and at least some of the reinforcing elements are designed as long fibers and extend in a cross-sectional area completely through the center piece and respectively across at least a substantial part of both end pieces.

A wheel component for a bicycle, having a rim and a hub and having multiple spoke systems, wherein a spoke system comprises two interacting connecting elements, namely a connecting element loaded in tension during operation and designed as a spoke;

• and at least one connecting element designed as a spoke nipple;
• wherein the spoke extends in the axial direction;
• and comprises a center piece and two end pieces located opposite and spaced apart from one another, in order to detachably connect the hub to the rim by means of the spoke and at least one spoke nipple and to support at the end pieces;
• wherein the spoke is manufactured from at least one fiber composite material and comprises at least one matrix material and reinforcing elements embedded therein;
• wherein the spoke nipple and at least one end piece of the spoke have interacting threads in order to connect the spoke and the spoke nipple to one another, wherein one of the threads is designed as an inner thread and one of the threads is designed as an outer thread;
• wherein the interacting threads of the connecting elements are respectively designed as non-symmetrical in the axial direction, so that one respective thread flank is designed as significantly shallower than the other, steeper thread flank;
• the end pieces are designed integrally with the center piece and respectively form an end of the spoke;
• and that at least some of the reinforcing elements are designed as long fibers and extend in a cross-sectional area completely through the center piece and respectively across at least a substantial part of both end pieces.
