Question

Why are spokes provided in a bicycle wheel?

Answer 1

These spokes go straight from the hub to the rim of the tire. ... The way in which the wheels are spoked determines how they will perform. A bicycle wheel with tangential spoking. "You can spoke the front wheel completely radially, but the rear wheel had better not be spoked radially.

Answer 2

Hey mate,

◆ Answer-
Spokes increase M.I.

◆ Explaination-
- Spokes connect wheel to the rim.
- These spokes increase the distribution of mass leadng to increased moment of inertia of the wheel.
- This opposes change in rotary motion due to external forces thus makes the motion uniform.
- Thus eventually spokes are responsible for steady motion of the bicycles.
