About Road Race Tyres

These tyres are for racing style bikes that use clincher/hooked rims, these are the most common fitment and hook onto the rim and require an inner tube. There is a wide choice of tyres within this category and the right choice is important. Lighter tyres will accelerate quickly, but will be more prone to punctures so getting a balance is extremely important. If you require a tyre for all round use look for something with puncture protection, an average TPI(Threads Per Inch) and average weight. If you require a fast tyre and speed is the only thing that matters look for a low weight folding tyre with high TPI. If durability is your priority and speed is not so important look towards the puncture resistant tyres and consider going for a wider tyre, these will be less prone to punctures and offer a bit more comfort. For wet road conditions a triple compound or winter tyre is a good choice, these use a softer compound on the cornering surface to maximise grip.

Vittoria Rubino Pro Folding Clincher Tyre 4.5 5 239 239

Great tyre Great tyre, holds the road well, pretty puncture and wear resistant. Good enough to do ironmans on. Would buy them again. 14 July 2010

Great tyres god for racing and training, pretty good puncture protection 13 July 2010

Vittoria Grip I train a lot on secondary roads and have gone through quite a lot of clincher tyres trying to both stay upright and corner at the limit, this tyre does both very well, it holds a great line even in the wet, and on very rough roads ride is comfortable, other tyres at similar pressures do not do the job and i have not had one puncture using them, i would highly recommend vittoria to any serious cyclist that does not want the hassle of tub's or punctures... 11 July 2010

For the first few months, I was quite satisfied with these tyres. They roll well and have many colour options. Then I got a puncture at the furthest point of a 120km hill ride. A piece of glass had gotten stuck in the join between the coloured rubber and the middle strip of black rubber. It embedded itself inside the tyre. This was probably just a spot of bad luck, but I have since changed to a set of Continental GP4000S tyres which are a single piece of rubber without the join that comes in contact with the road surface. They seem a little heavier, but for those who value puncture resistance on their training rides, this difference in construction helps to negate some of the puncture risk. 11 July 2010

Answer:

With the bike upright, the point of the V of the tread should point forward so that when it touches the floor it would push any water outwards from the point when the tyre touches the floor.

Answer:

As a general principle, I think tyres with treads should be fitted so that the grooves in the tread will tend to channel water away from the centre of the tyre at the point of road contact. A little bit of careful thought should indicate which way round will achieve this.

what means a "clincher" tyre?

Top 10 Contributor

Answer:

A tyre inside which you fit a tube. The tyre has a bead which holds onto the edge of the wheel rim. As opposed to a tubular rim where there is no edge to hang on to and thus no bead on the tubular tyre.

wigglebikeguru

London, UK

Answer:

The term clinch means to squeeze, grip, hug or clamp. This relates to the way the tyre resists being forced off the rim due to the air pressure within the tyre. The two bases of the tyre, where they fit into the rim, have bead edges. When the tyre is inflated these beads are pushed into mating groves in the rim. This interlocking feature allows the rim to clinch the tyre and that is why they are called clinchers.

Answer:

clinchers are tyres that needs an inner tube. This is common amongst road bike users. clinchers can be put on tubeless wheels but will still need an inner tube.

rim - tyre width

I have an old road bike that has a 700X32 tyre i want to replace them to a 700X23. i measured my inner rim width and it is 18.4mm

Answer:

According to ETRTO（The European Tyre and Rim Technical
Organisation) , the minimum width of the tire is 1.4 times the width of the rim.
18.4 × 1.4 = 25.76
700X23 is too narrow for your rim.
700X28 fits your rim.

Inflation pressure on Rubino Pro 3s

Just got these, and used them for the first time on my new carbon bike. I normally ride Bontrager Hardcase at 80-90 psi, but the Vittorias specify minimum 100. That makes them feel hard, IMO anyway. Can you run them softer or does that cause problems?

Answer:

Folding means the tyre does not have a wire bead or rim - it is made of kevlar instead so the whole tyre seems floppy compared to a cheaper harder tyre that always stays in its round shape.

1 year ago

AussieDamo

Newcastle, Australia

Answer:

No solid/rigid wire bead reinforcing the tyre. Instead they have a kevlar or eqv. alternative.

The wire bead doesn't fold, these are the tyres hanging in a bike shop. The kevlar bead is flexible and so the tyres are folded and usually packaged in boxes.

Folding tyres are lighter but come at the increased cost incurred by the kevlar material.

Answer:

Literally the tyre can be folded to be packed away for a trip or in your ride bag.

The tyre walls are generally thinner to allow for the folding but still more than strong enough for regular use.

These Vittoria tyres come packed onto a piece of cardboard, folded to about 6 inches high.

Answer:

Folding means they have a Kevlar bead instead of steel. Sidewalls are pretty flexible too so the tyre can be flattened out. This means that they can be folded into a small space. Rubino Pros arrive in a box about 8" x 3"x3" if I remember correctly.

Answer:

As far as I'm aware, its the way in which its stored, although it can have a wire rim in it, it is flexible enough to be folded - you'll see this on ordering one, some people like to carry spare tyres around for some reason (Maybe if touring) so a folding tyre is of great benefit versus one that can't be folded.
