Abstract

A method of manufacturing a spoke, including: reshaping a wire material to obtain a spoke blank by a forging device; wherein the spoke blank includes pre-stages of the central section and the end portions and the transition sections; and wherein the pre-stages of the central section and the end portions are forged cylindrically; the pre-stages of the transition sections are forged conically, so that they show a diameter decreasing in the direction of the central section; wherein the pre-stages of the transition sections are each manufactured in a length which differs by a maximum of one fourth from the pertaining length of the transition section; reshaping the spoke blank by a shaping tool, which reproduces a negative shape of the spoke body, so that the spoke body is generated; wherein at least the transition sections and the central section are each provided with a cross-sectional geometry different from their pre-stages.
