How is a bike wheel made?

The rim is made by forming a length of extruded aluminum profile into a hoop, joining it and drilling it for spokes and valve. Spokes are made by cold forging lengths of stainless steel. Nipples are usually made out of brass stock, then chromed/nickel plated. Hubs are forged and cut, usually out of aluminum, drilled for spokes and then have bearings and axles installed. Then hubs are laced to rims, everything is trued and tightened up and the wheel is done, ready to receive its tube and tire.
