His 1882 patent became the ancestor of all clincher tires, the design found on modern bikes and cars. [7] Modern clincher tires have wires embedded on both beads of the tire so the wires fit inside the edges of the rim to hold the tire in place when it is fully inflated. [7] Diameter (effective)
A clincher bicycle tire mounted on a wheel A cross section of a clincher tire with a puncture-preventing layer (in blue) between the casing and the tread An inner tube rolled up for storage or to be carried as a spare. A bicycle tire is a tire that fits on the wheel of a bicycle or similar vehicle.
Tubeless tires eliminate the need for that inner tube. Instead, they fit on specialized rims that create an airtight seal. Special tubeless sealant helps keep that seal, and helps prevent punctures.
However, tires not designed for the tubeless application do not have as robust a sidewall as those that are. [11] The drawbacks to tubeless tires are that they are notorious for being harder to mount on the rim than clincher tires, [11] and that the cyclist must still carry a spare tube to insert in case of a flat tire due to a puncture. [11]
Clincher tires can be mounted on straight-side or crochet-type rims. Crochet-type rims are not the same as hooked-bead rims. Such tires are designated with their nominal section width and their nominal rim diameter, separated by a hyphen (-). Both are measured in millimeters. A typical example of a tire marking according to ISO 5775-1 is:
