Claim 0:
1. A hub and spoke assembly comprising:
a hub body being symmetric about a rotational axis having a first end and a second end;
a first plurality of projections disposed on the hub body at the first end and a second plurality of projections disposed on the hub body at the second end, wherein projections of each of the first plurality of projections and the second plurality of projections are spaced apart from each adjacent projection about the rotational axis on the first and second ends, respectively, and wherein each projection of the first plurality of projections and the second plurality of projections comprises a base portion joined to the hub body and a support extending from the base portion to a free end, wherein each support of each projections of the first plurality of projections and the second plurality of projections extends from the base portion to the free end in a rotational direction about the rotational axis, and wherein adjacent supports of adjacent projections in each of the first plurality of projections and the second plurality of projections extend in opposite rotational directions about the rotational axis; and
a first plurality of spokes and a second plurality of spokes, each spoke of the first plurality of spokes and the second plurality of spokes comprises an elongated braided fiber having a loop at a first end and a second end configured for attachment to a rim, wherein at least one spoke of the first plurality of spokes is joined to each support of the first plurality of projections with the loop disposed about the support, and wherein at least one spoke of the second plurality of spokes is joined to each support of the second plurality of projections with the loop disposed about the support.
