2. Tubeless tire - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tubeless_tire

   A tubeless tire (also spelled as tubeless tyre in Commonwealth English) is a pneumatic tire that does not require a separate inner tube.. Unlike pneumatic tires which use a separate inner tube, tubeless tires have continuous ribs molded integrally into the bead of the tire that are forced by air pressure into a flange on the metal rim of the wheel, sealing the tire to the rim.

3. Tubular tyre - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tubular_tyre

   Tubular tyres can be less safe with rim brakes on long descents because the heat generated by braking can cause the glue holding the tyre to the rim to fail. [8] Additionally, excessive heat from rim brakes an cause the tyre pressure to increase so much that the tyre can explode, [9] but this problem also applies for clincher tyres used with ...

   These rims cannot be used with caliper rim brakes. The cross-section of a rim can have a wide range of geometry, each optimized for particular performance goals. Aerodynamics, mass and inertia, stiffness, durability, tubeless tire compatibility, brake compatibility, and cost are all considerations.

5. Bicycle tire - Wikipedia

   Tubeless tires have not yet gained popular acceptance in road racing due to lack of sponsorship, the tradition of using tubular tires and the fact that, even without the inner tube, the combined weight of tubeless rims and tires is more than top-of-the-line tubular tire wheelsets. [17]

   Tubeless straight-side (TSS) type rims; Crochet (C) type rims; Tubeless crochet type rims; Hooked-bead (HB) rims; Both crochet (C) and hooked-bead (HB) rims have inner profiles that curve inwards near the outside diameter of the rim to provide a hook that helps retain the tire bead under high pressure. On modern bikes crochet rims are most ...

7. Comstar wheel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comstar_wheel

   Honda claimed the Comstar design combined the strength of a cast wheel but allowed a predetermined level of radial flex like spoked wheels. [7]: 27 Comstar wheels also allowed the fitment of tubeless tyres which, like other alloy wheels, [8] helped to reduce unsprung mass, [9] although not all models fitted with Comstars had tubeless tyres.
