In Part 1 I described the differences in construction of the two types of tires themselves. Building on that knowledge I will explain the advantages and disadvantages of each type of tire construction in regard to actual use. Again, we will start off the discussion with the pros and cons of clincher tires.
Clinchers:
All tires have tube, right? So why are some tires called tubulars and others clinchers? What is the advantage one has over another? Why should I care either way?
First a little lesson on the differences between tubular tires and clinchers. I will start with clinchers since most people are riding those and that is what the majority of bikes come with.
When I first came back to riding BIKE! Charlotte was the first organized event that Nicole and I did together. That was two years ago. This year the events surrounding BIKE! Charlotte run from Thursday May 1st through Sunday May 11th.
Bikes can ride for free on CATS Buses and LYNX Light Rail.
Learn more about BIKE! Charlotte here.
The list of events are posted here.
As some of you know I am riding a carbon framed bike from a small importer located in Connecticut, Pedal Force. The specific model that Nicole and I ride is the RS. What some of you don’t know is that I have two of these frames for myself and they are built up slightly differently.
