engineers from mavic have proved that odd number of spokes are more aerodynamic. apparently it has something to do w/ even spokes creating turbulence. I'm not sure of the exact benefits from a structural standpoint though. but based on the fact that it takes 3 points to define a plane, a 4th just becomes an unnecessary extra weight, drag, free space real estate.. etc etc blah blah..

read up on it.

How many spokes are on a 26 inch bike wheel?

This completely depends on the wheel. The most common number of spokes per wheel is 36. Some better wheels have 32. Higher performance wheels have even less.


If a wagon wheel has 18 spaces between the spokes how many spokes does it have?

18. Picture it this way. If a wagon wheel had 2 spaces, it is easy to see that it would have two spokes, say, top and bottom. Adding another spoke would block off another space. From this idea, you can see that the number of spaces must equal the number of spokes.


How many spokes are there in the wheel of bicycle if any two spokes from an angle of 30 degress?

360 / 30 = 12 , so 12 spokes in that wheel.


How many spokes are typically found on a standard bike wheel?

What are the key considerations in bike wheel design?

Key considerations in bike wheel design include the material of the rim and spokes, the number of spokes, the type of hub, the size and shape of the wheel, and the overall weight and durability of the wheel. These factors impact the wheel's performance, strength, aerodynamics, and overall ride quality.

What are wagon spokes?

"Spokes" are the things that branch out from the centre of wheels to the outside edge of the wheel, to stabilise them. So wagon spokes are the things that branch out of wagon wheel centres (usually wooden, in this case). Bicycle wheels also have spokes.


What if all the spokes on a wheel broke?

Then the wheel would collapse. Which would happen some time Before all the spokes had gone.


How can I accurately measure spokes for my bicycle wheel?

To accurately measure spokes for your bicycle wheel, use a spoke ruler or a measuring tape to determine the length from the inside of the bend at one end to the tip of the thread at the other end. Make sure to measure in millimeters for precision. Additionally, count the number of spokes needed for your wheel to ensure you have the correct quantity.
