A wheel support for a bicycle and a bicycle are disclosed. A Load Management Unit processes all setup messages. The intra-node merged data is may then be communicated in a memory-to-memory manner over a high-speed network to another node in the system for an inter-node merge operation, which limits the number of intermediate system IO operations to perform the collaging process. The connector also includes a cap portion designed for selective, friction-fit engagement with the cavity of the fixed portion.
