Abstract
Large impacts act on a spoke wheel and spokes fastened by nipples tend to be loosened when a racing off-road motorcycle and the like repeatedly jumps and lands. A hub is connected with a rim by using deformed spokes each having a deformed portion. The deformed spoke is fastened while being elastically deformed so that the deformed portion extends by the nipple. As compared to a straight spoke, the deformed spoke has low longitudinal elastic modulus and substantially the same stiffness with a spoke having an equal diameter.
