Spokes… get rid of 'em!
The hub would be suspended in the centre of the frame by magnetic levitation, with lightweight superconductors around the inside of the rim.
This would make wheelbuilding a thing of the past; you’d just place the hub in the centre, turn it on and zzap! wheel done.
It would also allow for a degree of suspension, as the maglev field strength could be changed so the hub is either held rock-solid in the centre of the wheel or is allowed to bob up and down slightly, so when you land the hub is allowed to move downwards to absorb some of the force.
Broken hubs and cranks would be a thing of the past (unless you start making use of the suspension and attempt 30 foot drops or something); you could have several interchangeable crank- and wheelsets so you swap between a slick and knobbly tyre in seconds, and you’d never have to change a spoke again.
Hell yeah.
