a. Clincher and Tubular refer to the type of rim on the wheel, and what type of tire can be used on the wheel. b. Clincher wheels are the most common type and are used with a tire and an inner tube. If you get a flat tire with a clincher, you can change …

2010年9月26日 · Folding versus wire refers to the material within the bead or 'edge' of each side of the tire. Foldable bead tires use kevlar in most cases (I think) and tires with each type are entirely compatible with the rim size that the tire is designed for (in the absence of a manufacturing defect). Folding bead tires have a few advantages (in my opinion):

2019年11月2日 · The clincher is a "bowl" that wraps 3/4 of an easily-swapped inner tube. This is better explained in a picture: Left is a normal clincher, middle is a normal tubular, and right is what I think you've done. I suspect your tubular tyre has multiple layers of tubular tape trying to fill the void that is the clincher's wheel well or Valley.

2019年4月22日 · In the context of a new bike spec list or marketing copy, it's most commonly understood to mean a wheelset and tires that are both tubeless-compatible, plus the rims already have tubeless tape. It's ready for tubeless in the sense that all you have to do is unseat one bead, remove the tube, add a tubeless valve, add sealant, re-seat the one ...

2023年10月31日 · Thinking of using a clincher tire and Tube because I've read that many of the tlr tires are performance oriented and not long lasting. This may be a misconception. The higher end of each manufacturer's lineup will inherently be less durable. Within limits, I believe there's a tradeoff between rolling resistance, grip, and durability.

2020年11月26日 · In clincher tyres, are folding tyres easier to put on and remove than the tyres with wire bead? I was trying to swicth from decathlon resist+ tyres to Specialized Allsport and found it really really hard. I cant imagine being able to change a tube on the roadside with such a hard and difficult tyre.

By same tire I meant the same tire in Clincher and Tubular format, not a clincher for both. Carrying the gear isn't really an issue because if I get a flat I'm out of the race. I was wondering mostly about the safety of riding a clincher front and tubular rear. –

2023年10月28日 · There is a muddle of history and context here. For decades, before the rise of hookless tubeless-compatible (often carbon) rims, many tire sidewalls of all sizes and genres said "hooked rim only" or some variation thereof, meaning …

2017年7月19日 · Right, the tubular tyres used by many teams for racing can have very low Crr. However, I've measured the actual Crr of clincher tires on smooth roads in France, and gotten slightly higher figures than "lab" values (although the ranking is almost always the same, so tires that do well on rollers in the bicyclerollingresistance lab almost always do well on the road).

2020年7月2日 · Wire bead is somewhat easier to install, especially if the tires are a tight fit on the rim, because it stays round during installation, but with loose rims or rims with a deep center channel, it isn't hard to install folding bead either; Wire bead is far cheaper
