  "textContent": "An improved bicycle wheel is disclosed which has reduced dish by comparison with a conventionally laced wheel. The wheel is one which, when laced conventionally, would be dished such as a rear wheel with at least one sprocket (26) or a front wheel with a brake disk (44). In a rear wheel embodiment, the spokes (22) extend from inside to outside, through a proximate hub flange (14) and along the outside or sprocket surface of the proximate hub flange (14) and from outside to inside through the opposed hub flange (16) and along the inside or sprocket surface of the opposed hub flange (16). In a front wheel embodiment, the spokes (22) extend from inside to outside through the proximate hub flange (46) along an inside or disk surface thereof and from outside to inside through the opposite hub flange (48) and along the inside or disk surface thereof. The spokes (22) in a given flange (14,16,46,48) of a hub according to the present invention are all secured to the hub flange (14,16,46,48) at substantially the same axial location relative to the axis of rotation of the hub or have spoke elbows (32,58) which are all at substantially the same axial location relative to the axis of rotation of the hub. As a consequence of the reduced dish there is a reduction in the tension differential between the proximate spokes (22) and the opposed spokes (22). According to another aspect of the invention, spoke bores (18) in each of the hub flanges are grouped into pairs (21) and the circumferential distance between adjacent pairs (21) is greater than the distance between bores (18) in a given pair.",
