What is the difference between a blade wheel and a spoke wheel?
1 Answers
Here are the differences between a blade wheel and a spoke wheel: 1. Different appearance: The blade wheel is a one-piece wheel, mainly made of magnesium alloy or carbon fiber composite, with a very attractive appearance and various colors, suitable for the urban lightweight concept; while the spoke wheel is primarily made of carbon fiber, and due to the steel wire connections, it has a single color appearance. 2. Different performance: The blade wheel is heavier than the spoke wheel, and the wheel's inertia is beneficial for fast riding, making it suitable for smooth roads where speed is pursued; while the spoke wheel is more suitable for mountain bikes, offering better shock absorption when riding, which saves effort. Additionally, because the spoke wheel allows for adjusting the tension of the spokes, if the wheel is impacted and becomes oval-shaped, the roundness of the wheel can be corrected by adjusting the tension of the spokes.
