Q about Tire Lingo. "Clincher"??
« on: August 10, 2009, 09:00:18 PM »
Ok, getting ready to order my new tires, they say "clincher" bead. I did some googling and it's supposed to be a typical Inner tube type wheel/tire correct?  I have the regualar car type shrader valve inner tube on my bike. Figured I'd check before I ordered....

Yes, clincher is the regular tire + tube combo.
