Thinner tread also lowers rolling resistance while the tyre is maintaining ideal shock absorption properties and high puncture resistance how does the tubular clincher tyre work when inflated the tubular clincher see image below in the same way as a tubular is pressed towards the rim simultaneously the bead blocks of the profiled rubber band spread out embedding on the rim shoulders and eliminating any rotation of the tubular clincher against the rim as well as the possibility of the tu
