WHEEL RIM FOR BICYCLE AND PRODUCING METHOD OF PRODUCING THE SAME

摘要

A wheel rim for bicycle of the present invention includes a carbon fiber main body and two strengthen layers. The strengthen layers are made of metal and are attached to two side surfaces of the main body by electroplating. As such, brake pads can rub against the wheel rim on the strengthen layers. Heat dissipation efficiency is enhanced so as to keep the wheel rim away from deformation, and the wheel rim is reinforced as well. Therefore, the wheel rim is made durable.

主权项

1. A producing method of producing a wheel rim, comprising the following steps:
modeling: producing a circular carbon fiber main body of the wheel rim by heating and pressing carbon fiber and resin, the resin encapsulating the carbon fibers, the main body having a circular inner surface, a circular outer surface, and two circular side surfaces each of which connects the inner surface to the outer surface; grinding: grinding the side surfaces, so that resin on the side surfaces of the main body is partially removed, at least part of the carbon fibers being exposed on the side surfaces after grinding; electroplating: attaching two metal layers to the exposed carbon fibers on the surfaces grinded in the grinding step by means of electroplating, so that the strengthen layers are provided to the main body.
