What is a clincher

[leet22]

Hmm WHat is the diff between a clincher and a tubbie?

[RedDevil]

 

Clincher = what the majority of people use. You have to use tubes with them, easier to fit using tyre levers & strong thumbs.

 

Tubbies = an "all-in" tyre with a built-in tube & has to be glued to the rim. usually used by the more racing-minded chaps often on deep section rims.

A clincher is a woman who keeps clinging on to a man........... long after she has exceeded her shalf life

A tubbie is glued to the rim and a tire bead seats onto a clincher rim!
