What is a clincher?

A clincher is a type of tire that is commonly used on bicycles. It consists of an outer tire, which is made of rubber and provides traction and durability, and an inner tube, which holds the air that inflates the tire.

Clincher tires are characterized by a bead that hooks onto the rim of the wheel, securing the tire in place. This design makes them easy to install and remove, as they can be taken off the wheel without the need for special tools.

Clincher tires come in a variety of sizes and tread patterns, making them suitable for different types of terrain and riding conditions. They are popular among cyclists for their ease of use and versatility.
