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 tubular clincher unseating. As the tubular clincher is inflated, the band side literally 'bite' into the rim shoulders. Benefits of Tufo's tubular clincher tyres: high inflation pressures - up to 15 bars (220 psi) without any damage to the rim walls, even in a case when the rim manufacturer specifies lower inflation pressures (the pressure is contained inside the tubular clincher and does not affect the rim wall), same riding quality as with tubular tyres, safe handling in case of punctures (the stability of a rider is not affected), the tubular clincher can be ridden when flat, and the fastest and easiest installation and dismantling without any tools.
Excite wheel assembly involves accurate and precise spoke tensioning and are mechanically stabilised to settle the component's position guaranteeing high quality.

If you get your cycling excitement from speed, chasing fitness goals and perhaps nabbing a Queen of the Mountain segment or two in summer, the Women's Cherry Blossom Helix 2.0 Jersey is sure to be a winner every time you hop on your bike. 4-way stretch SLR Ion Fabric gives you a jersey that is snug but extremely flexible, allowing you to move easily while also benefitting from aero gains. Not only that, antibacterial silver ions form part of the fabric, destroying odour creating bacteria, keeping you and the jersey fresh ride after ride. As you pick up the pace, pedal hard into a headwind or strive for a mountain col, you'll soon be generating a sweat. But thanks to the excellent breathability, sweat won't hang around for too long. You'll also enjoy the benefit of extra airflow from the mesh panels, keeping you cooler when the heat is on. A full-length front zipper also lets you regulate airflow and body heat. The stretch fabric is complemented by Primal's 'Elite' fit, providing you with a jersey that keeps drag to a minimum. Laser-cut FlexPro armbands maintain a smooth transition from jersey to skin while a silicone waist gripper keeps everything snug with your cycling shorts. Lastly, 3 rear pockets provide easily accessible storage space, keeping spares, nutrition and emergency gilet within reach.
This tyre also has an effective puncture protection system making it the rider's choice for endurance races and long training rides in good and bad weather conditions.
Aqua-flow Tread Aqua-Flow derives from car-tyre technology, introducing carefully shaped channels, or ‘sipes’, across the tyre’s tread, to drain water away and let the tyre grip the surface more effectively. Lightweight Nylon Casing Nylon is a robust and durable artificial fibre used by most manufacturers for utility tyre casings. Traditionally, it lacked the flexibility of the polycotton casings preferred by élite riders but was lighter in weight than polycotton threads. Now Vittoria has succeeded in engineering nylon yarn into their exclusive Nylon Plus 220 and 150 TPI weave, setting a new standard in each class of clincher tyres. Weight is cut by 10% over the previous best nylon casings, while road feel and rolling resistance approach closer to the top-performing polycotton open tubulars. Vittoria also offers casings in Nylon 120 TPI, Nylon 60 TPI, and Nylon 26 TPI, each equipping a family of tyres at its respective point on the price-performance scale, and all conferring the Vittoria characteristics of comfort, speed, and good handling. For Your Consideration: Do you require any inner tubes with your tyre choice? We recommend Vittoria Competition Latex Inner Tubes For deeper deep section rims you may also consider these Valve Extensions
The family of cotton tyres benefits from casing with 320 TPI (threads-per-inch) that’s one of a kind in terms of flexibility and lightness, from a tread that’s the result of millions of km in races around the world and from new, even better performance lightweight puncture protection, offering 40% better than ever before. The full range of cotton tyres features the new ISOgrip compound for yet more grip and safety. Vittoria has a long tradition of success: its tubulars and treads have won the greatest number of races in history.
This superb component is installed on every professional's bike. It keeps your chain from falling in case of an over-shift.
