| Clinchers versus Tubulars First issue, can someone explain to me what a clincher is and what a tubular is ?! Do I have clinchers because it has the lip on the tire that goes under the rim ?! Do tubulars require special rims ? What is better for long distance road races ?! What are the Pro's using these days ?! Thank you |

| Re: Clinchers versus Tubulars Was it necessary to cross-post to three newsfroups? One would suffice. Seems kinda trollish, actually.

Whichever type you know how to repair is better for long distance road races, unless you're a pro, in which case it doesn't matter because you've got a guy following you with a vanload of extra pre-mounted and pre-inflated tires on wheels (and a few extra bikes). -- Rick Onanian |
