Motor bicycle rim and method of making the same

摘要

A motor bicycle rim (2) comprises a basic rim structure (4) out of aluminum alloy which basic rim structure is covered at least in part by a glass fiber or carbon fiber reinforced resin layer (6) adapted to the use of an adhesive material designed to bond the reinforced prepreg material (6) to the basic rim structure (4) of aluminum alloy. A method of producing the motor bicycle rim (2) comprises fixing glass fiber or carbon fiber reinforcement material (6) to the basic rim structure (4) out of aluminum alloy, providing a prepreg resin to the basic rim structure (4) having glass fiber or carbon fiber reinforcement material (6) fixed thereto; and curing the prepreg resin together with the glass fiber or carbon fiber reinforcement (6) and using an adhesive material designed to bond the reinforced prepreg material to the basic rim structure (4) of aluminum alloy. Another method of producing a motor bicycle rim (2) of claim 1, comprises fixing glass fiber or carbon fiber reinforced prepreg material (6) to the basic rim structure (4) out of aluminum alloy; and curing the prepreg resin together with the glass fiber or carbon fiber reinforced prepreg material.
