Clincher/Tubular??

[DaLoCo]

Could someone just explain the difference between the two types of wheels

[Delgado]

Tubbies are glued on and clinchers are "clinched" on....

[DaLoCo]

So it actually has nothing to do with the type of tyre you can fit on them.... DaLoCo2009-04-14 02:21:07

a tubbie rim does not have the little lip where the tyre "clips" in that the you normally see on rims. The special tubbie tyre gets glued on because it's the only way it can stay on. If you get a puncture, you need to take off the tyre, undo the sewn bit, take out the tubem fix it, place back into the tyre, sew it back up and glue it back to the rim and wait for it to dry. The tubbie rims are normally cheaper but the tyres are normally more expensive.

Actually it does.

 

Tubbie rims = Tubbie tyres. (Tyre glues onto the rim)

Clincher rims = Clincher tyres.
