BICYCLE WHEEL ASSEMBLY STRUCTURE

A bicycle wheel assembly structure includes an annular rim, a hub, nipples, and spokes. The annular rim includes multiple rim penetration sections, each of which includes a rim-side limiting part on a circumference. The hub is arranged at the center of the annular rim. The hub includes multiple hub penetration sections. The rim-side limiting part and the nipple limiting part, and also the hub-side limiting part and the spoke limiting part, are all made in a hexagonal pyramid form with apex truncated to form a planar surface and including bevel facets so as to provide an anti-sliding effect resulting from geometric constraint and high static friction at both the annular rim-side and the hub-side. The angle of the hexagonal pyramid of the nipple limiting part is 60°, 90°, or 120°, and an optimum arrangement can be made based on the material elongation of the spokes and the desired tension.
