great video! I am interested in clincher so i can change tubes when i get a flat on long rides around farm lands

How to fix it once i have a flat tire on the way ?

Hi, I bought a bike second hand and it came with carbon Easton ex90 22mm tubular wheels. I cannot afford to buy new carbon wheels. Makes me nervous on longer rides about punctures. Any advice ? Thanks

Learned a lot. Thank you for the explanations.

After 20 years on high-end clinchers I switched to high-end tubulars, and have never once thought of going back -- the bike is smoother in every regard. For whatever reason, I've gotten *far* fewer flats on tubulars. With a valve core remover and a bit of Orange Seal, I can fix a puncture in a minute, and the tire runs without fail afterward (and has for over a year with no extra sealant). Are the best clinchers/tubeless faster? Maybe, but it seems like every video of even skinny Rapha riders has them stopped, fixing their featherweight clinchers multiple times. I'm a big fatso but haven't dealt with that since my switch. I won't tell anyone who likes their clinchers they are 'wrong', but to anyone who is frustrated yet is scared by the tubular "hassle", I can say it is something of a myth.

are you happy with easton wheels

Very clear explanation, thank you very much.

Wise choice 👍

Thanks very helpfull

THANKS A LOT

Do any of the pro peloton teams use the tubeless setup?

I would say for individual training and races without technical assistance ( = spare wheels in the car) tubulars are pure death. Tubeless is the way to go. They are almost equally flat resistant like tubulars, serviceable in the field (in a matter of seconds). Tubeless tyre is lighter than average tubular, even after adding the weight of sealant (my Hutchinsons have 250 g + 40 g of sealant). High pressures are in fact good for nothing. With tubeless 25C I have approx. 6 bar front/6,5 rear.

I would believe that tubulars might have braking issues where rim brakes might distort the rim or damage the tires?

You can put stans liquid in a tubular right?

so basically a "clincher" is just a beaded tyre with a fancy new name?? i had tubs on a bike twenty five years back. pain in the arse for flats.

I'd actually say that Clinchers are more expensive than Tubular systems. Tubular systems are cheaper to manufacture because companies don't need to design the clincher rim and can focus on the brake track. More people purchase Clincher rims so Tubular rims are often marked down for cheaper. People are more familiar with Clincher systems and Tubular flats is something people are rather afraid of.

I can't see the many disadvantages of the tubulars.

i fail to see the disadvantages of tubulars, dont we all wanna go faster and have lighter gear? tubulars it is, made my decision and ready to take the leap. good video though, thanks!

If you want lighter wheels put helium in your tubes you would be flying with them

i don't like clinchers, why..... tubulars are better in every aspect accept price, which is, tubular tyres are more expensive and can't always be fixed with sealant, re: a higher cost to run, otherwise tubulars are superior. Why, much lighter, up to half a kilo, they roll better, give a more comfy ride, can be pumped to higher and lower pressures without the risk of failure or pinch flats, are much easier to change (with practice), slashed tyres are no issue as you install a new tyre, tape for tubulars is so easy to use, you can still ride slowly on a flat tubular without damaging the rim to get you home and finally when your tyre goes flat whilst riding with a clincher you are on the rim, damaging the rim and there is no grip at all between the road and rim, but with a tubular you still have rubber under your wheel as it is glued on. if you ride expensive bikes i can't see the cost argument as tyres are a relatively cheap component compared to a carbon bike with a top end grouppo.

don't use your fantasy,try it on the road,clincher are faster than tubular!!

Painful to listen to you murder the English language
