摘要

A carbon fiber rim assembly includes a carbon fiber rim having a bridge and two sidewalls extend respectively from two sides of the bridge. Each sidewall has a hook portion and an annular groove is defined between the bridge and the two sidewalls. A tire has a tread body and two lips extend respectively from two sides of the tread body. The lips are engaged with the hook portions. A reinforcement member is a plate and the hardness of the reinforcement member is higher than that of the tire. A connection unit includes a first connection member located at outsides of the sidewalls and a second connection member connected to the reinforcement member. The first and second connection members are connected to each other to position the reinforcement member between the sidewalls and the lips. The reinforcement member is easily installed and replaced.
