ABUTMENT INTERFACE BETWEEN THE HEAD OF A NIPPLE AND THE BRIDGE OF A WHEEL RIM AND SPOKED BICYCLE WHEEL

This bicycle wheel comprises a rim (11) connected to a hub (12) by a plurality of spokes (13), wherein at least one of the spokes (13) is anchored to the rim (11) through a nipple (20) having a stem (21) inserted in a hole (17) in a bridge (16) of the rim (11) and facing towards the hub (12) and an enlarged head (22) hooked to the bridge (16). An abutment interface (30) between the head (22) of the nipple (20) and the bridge (16) of the rim (11) comprises: - a first washer (31), with a radially inner first face (32) abutting on the bridge (16) and a radially outer second face (33), - a second washer (41), with a radially inner first face (42) abutting on the second face (33) of the first washer (31) and a radially outer second face (43) abutting on the head (22) of the nipple (20). [0002] The faces (32, 33, 42, 43) of the washers (31, 41) are shaped so as to allow the washers (31, 41) to make adjustment movements both with respect to each other and with respect to the nipple (20), during an initial step of the fixing operation of the spoke (13) to the rim (11), and vice-versa so as to prevent the washers (31, 41) from making any adjustment movement both with respect to one another and with respect to the nipple (20), during a subsequent fixing step of the spoke (13) to the rim (11) in which the nipple (20) has tension applied to it through the spoke (13).
