Abstract:
Embodiments described herein provide aerodynamic bicycle rims and wheels. Embodiments can include a bicycle rim that is wider than the width of the tire proximate to the outer edge of the rim and is shaped so that there is a tangent line tangent to the rim and the tire. The tangent line can be tangent to the rim on the sidewall or elsewhere on the rim. The widest part of the rim can be radially inward from the outer edge of the rim or elsewhere on the rim and the tangent line can be tangent at the widest part of the rim or elsewhere on the rim.

Claim (Index 1):
An aerodynamic bicycle rim adapted to seat a clincher tire, the bicycle rim comprising:\n a rim body comprising a set of sidewalls, each sidewall extending radially from a nose of the bicycle rim to a corresponding transition to a circumferential outer surface, the rim body having a maximum rim body width that is greater than the maximum width of the tire, the maximum rim body width occurring radially closer to a radially outermost edge of the rim body than to a centerline of the rim body, the set of sidewalls tapering inward from a widest part of the rim body to the nose at a constant or increasing rate; wherein, the bicycle rim is operable to seat the tire so that the cross-sectional shape of the tire and rim body is asymmetrical about the widest portion of the cross-sectional shape and there is a tangent line tangent to the tire and tangent to a sidewall of the bicycle rim.
