A V-shaped wheel spoke made of carbon fiber material is provided. The bottom part of the spoke is provided with a first through hole for placing a bolt when the spoke is connected with a wheel rim. The spoke has two legs, the top portion of each of the two legs is provided with a second through hole for placing bolt when the two legs are connected with flanges at left and right sides of a hub. With this design, the conventional connection structure consisting of spokes and nipples has been abandoned, and bolts or fastening structures are used for connection. The two legs of the spoke are respectively connected to the flanges at the left and right sides of the hub with bolts or fastening structures, such that the overall structure forms a stable triangle which greatly improves the strength and stiffness of the wheel.
