Summary:A wheel for a bicycle including a rim and having a hub including a fixed hub axle and a hub body rotatably mounted relative to the hub axle, and having a plurality of spokes disposed between the hub body and the rim to non-rotatably connect the rim with the hub body. The rim includes two rim flanks, a rim well and a rim base with spoke holes, at which the spokes are received. A separate holding member is disposed in each spoke hole, which together with a spoke nipple received at the holding member can be passed through the spoke hole in a tilted position, while in a tilted-back position it contacts the rim and is received therein to be tension-proof so as to fix the spoke to the rim.
