Video Transcript

"I'm Patrick from Zoomers Bike and Gear to tell you about advanced cycling. All right, now there's a couple different styles of tires. You have the steel bead clincher, the foldable clincher, and then you also have tubulars or sew-ups as they used to be called. The difference is this is a really good training wheel tire. It's just easy on, easy off, it's a nice, sturdy, thick tire, which is going to help you out with, when you're out riding, not having to worry about flats. Then you go to the lighter weight tire clincher, which is this one right here, which is a nice weight, light, foldable, easy to take on and off as well, but also has a higher thread count, which is going to allow you to go through the corners and hug the corners a lot better. Now, a lot of people argue the difference between tubulars and clinchers, but the way that they're designed nowadays is, you can pretty much get the best out of both of them without having to spend the money. Now, on these, like I said before, they're just glued on there, and they're nice because you have the full, solid surface of them being glued on there, so it's a little bit better when you're going into turns. You're going to be able to go down, hug the ground a little bit better, and go at a faster pace and be able to conserve energy as well as keep your speed up to what it was without losing any drag or anything like that."
