A bicycle wheel is disclosed. The wheel, which has a center plane, comprises: a bicycle wheel hub for supporting the wheel relative to an axle rotatably supported therein, a rim, a given number, at least three, pairs of first and second spokes, and adjustable threaded means for adjusting the tension in each of said spokes, independently of any adjustment to the tension in another spoke. The hub has first and second hub flanges axially displaced from one another, each on the opposite side of the wheel center plane from the other. Each of the spokes of the given number of pairs of first and second spokes has a first and a second end connected to one of the hub flanges and to the rim, respectively, so that tension is applied by the first spokes between the first hub flange and a first plurality of points which are circumferentially spaced substantially evenly around the rim on the opposite side of the wheel center plane from the first flange of the hub, and so that tension is applied by the second spokes between the second hub flange and a second plurality of points on the rim each of which is substantially circumferentially coincident with one of the first plurality of points, and is on the opposite side of the wheel center plane from the second flange of the hub. The pairs of first and second points on the rim are sufficiently close to each other that the bicycle has improved resistance to speed shimmy or wobble or front wheel induced steering inputs by comparison with a bicycle with a conventional front wheel having the given number of pairs of first and second spokes.
