[0091] The following will refer to Figure 17-20 A bicycle wheel 210 according to a second preferred embodiment of the present invention is introduced. The bicycle wheel 210 is similar to the bicycle wheel 100 of the first embodiment. In particular, a bicycle wheel 210 employs a modified rim 212 having a modified reinforcement member 214 to which modified spokes 216 are attached. In particular, the rim 212 is designed for use with conventional tubed tires 218 . Accordingly, the rim 212 is designed for a modified form of spokes 216 having enlarged heads 261 at their outer end portions 260 rather than threaded outer ends. The reinforcement members 214 of the rim 212 are also modified for use with the spokes 216 of this variation.

[0092] In consideration of the similarities between the first and second embodiments, the parts of the second embodiment that are the same as the parts of the first embodiment will be given the same reference numerals as the parts of the first embo...
