What Is a Spoke/Dayton Wheel?

Wire spoke/Dayton wheel is a type of wheel where there are a number of rods or wire radiating from the center of a wheel and connects the hub with the round traction surface. These wires or rods are generally stiff compared to a normal wire rope and functions mechanically just like tension flexible wires. It keeps the rim firm while supporting applied loads. Dayton wheels were originally made in Ohio in 1916 and were developed by automotive engineers over 90 years.

The term spoke wheels originally referred to portions of logs that were split into four or six section to come up with radial members of a wagon wheel. There are two types of spokes, the compression and tension spokes but tension spokes are commonly used to support automotive and other wheeled materials such as wheelchairs and bicycles since they are made of adjustable, lighter metal wires called wheel wires.

The spoke/Dayton wheels have gone a long way in terms of development and variation. The spoke wheels before were made out of 6 to 12 split logs and attached to wooden wheels. Now spoke/Dayton wheels are already made of sturdy and light materials for greater strength and flexibility. What used to be 6 to 12 spokes has become over 100 small spokes or more.
