2. Motorcycle wheel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorcycle_wheel

   The Steffey motorcycle in 1902, essentially a bicycle with a two-stroke engine attached, used wooden, rims with wire spokes. [1] This style of wheel evolved into a stouter motorcycle-specific wheel, still with spokes, up to the 1960s and beyond. [2]: 134 In April, 1922, Borrani started production of motorcycle wheels with an aluminium rim. [3]

3. Comstar wheel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comstar_wheel

   What metal the spokes were made from depended on the model of motorcycle. The CB400T, for example, used steel for the spokes and alloy for the rim, whilst the CBX and the Super Dream used alloy for both the spokes and rims to further reduce unsprung mass. For the NR500, the wheels were made from magnesium, with titanium used for the fasteners ...

   The Roadster and Enduro were upgraded and a new model, the Black Widow, all came with the 12" wheels, either 24- or 28-spoke, the latter being rarer. Some overall changes were made to the bikes: the handlebars were no longer welded to the mounts, the exhaust pipe now ran under the seat, the engines now used a float bowl carburetor/slanted ...

5. Wheelbuilding - Wikipedia

   For a normal wheel size and spoke count, only the latter is suitable for a wheel that has to transmit torque from the hub to the rim, as with rear wheels or hub brakes. This rule is occasionally broken where a very large number of spokes is used, or the wheel is unusually small in diameter, either of which reduces the amount of increased ...

6. Wire wheel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wire_wheel

   Wire wheels, wire-spoked wheels, tension-spoked wheels, or "suspension" wheels are wheels whose rims connect to their hubs by wire spokes. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] Although these wires are considerably stiffer than a similar diameter wire rope , they function mechanically the same as tensioned flexible wires, keeping the rim true while supporting ...

   For example, a 32 spoke wheel has 16 spokes per side, 360° divided by 16 equals 22.5°. Multiply 22.5° ("angle between adjacent flange holes") by the number of crossings to get the angle a —if 3-crosses, the 32 spoke wheel has an angle a of 67.5°.
