| a coupla' questions | Ty
Nov 1, 2001 7:24 PM | | Hi a couple of questions, firstly what on earth is a 'clincher'? It is not a common bike phrase here in the U.K.
and secondly will stan's work with my rolf propel tubeless?
I currently run Continental Twister Supersonic with Air-B tubes, will I just save the weight of the tubes?
thanks for any help

In all, you'll save part of the tube weight (maybe 50-60g), but mainly, you get flat resistance (the biggest advantage to this system if you ask me!!)
Hope this helps!
Luego!

Nov 2, 2001 6:58 AM | | 'Clincher' is usually a road bike term, and I think it means tires that "clinch" or grab the rim on both sides, where the traditional technology in racing road wheels was tubers, where they were tubes, I think. I could be wrong, as I've never had anything but the clinch type tires. |

| clincher describes tire/rim style | CKS
Nov 2, 2001 8:38 AM | | Clincher describes the tire/rim style we're familiar with on mountain bikes
1. A rim with hooks on the outside edge of the inner side of the braking surface
2. A tire with a wire or kevlar bead that hooks onto the rim
3. Requires an inner tube
The term clincher is a road bike term used to differentiate this set-up from tubular (aka sewup), where no inner tube is used, instead the tire is a single enclosed unit that is glued to the rim.
Tubeless is something new altogether, as it incorporates a clincher style tire, seals it to the rim and eliminates the need for a tube.
hope that helps. |
