Bicycle wheel how well the wheel transmits propulsive and braking forces, if applied at the hub, as in the case of hub or disc brakes. Several factors affect these stiffnesses to varying degrees. These include wheel radius, rim bending and torsional stiffness, number of spokes, spoke gauge, lacing pattern, hub stiffness, hub flange spacing, hub radius. In general lateral and radial stiffness decreases with the number of spoke crossings and torsional stiffness increases with the number of spoke crossings. One factor that has little influence on these stiffnesses is spoke tension. Too much spoke tension, however, can lead to catastrophic failure in
