3. Bicycle tire - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_tire

   A separate airtight inner tube enclosed by the tire supports the tire carcass and maintains the bead lock. An advantage of this system is that the inner tube can be easily accessed for a patch repair or replacement of the tube. The ISO 5775-2 standard defines designations for bicycle rims. It distinguishes between Straight-side (SS) rims

4. Presta valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presta_valve

   The Presta valve (also French valve (FV) or Sclaverand valve) is a type of tire valve commonly found on high pressure bicycle inner tubes and is commonly used on tubeless setups. It consists of an outer valve stem and an inner valve body. A lock nut to secure the stem at the wheel rim and a valve cap may also be present.

5. Inner tube - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inner_tube

   Two bicycle inner tubes: A larger mountain bike inner tube and a slimmer race bike tube. An inner tube is an inflatable torus that forms the interior of some pneumatic tires. [1] The tube is inflated through a valve stem and fits inside the tire casing. The inflated inner tube provides structural support and suspension, while the outer tire ...

6. 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.

7. Rigid inflatable boat - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rigid_inflatable_boat

   RNLI inshore rescue boat during Falmouth Lifeboat Day, August 2006. A rigid inflatable boat (RIB), also rigid-hull inflatable boat or rigid-hulled inflatable boat (RHIB), is a lightweight but high-performance and high-capacity boat constructed with a rigid hull bottom joined to side-forming air tubes that are inflated with air to a high pressure so as to give the sides resilient rigidity along ...

8. Chine (boating) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chine_(boating)

   As the boat's speed increases, hydrodynamic pressure beneath the pad causes the hull to ride higher in the water, so that eventually the boat will be riding solely upon the pad area. At low speeds these hulls ride and handle similarly to a comparable V-hull; but at high speeds the padded hull can both out-accelerate and have a higher top speed ...

9. Ship's wheel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship's_wheel

   A ship's wheel or boat's wheel is a device used aboard a ship, boat, submarine, or airship, in which a helmsman steers the vessel and control its course. Together with the rest of the steering mechanism, it forms part of the helm (the term helm can mean the wheel alone, or the entire mechanism by which the rudder is controlled [ 1 ] ).
