There air chamber Bike appeared at the same time as the tire. The legend says that it was Edouard Michelin who invented him in 1891 after a English cyclist asked him for help to repair his punctured hose. The tire & chamber system makes it easier to repair in the event of a puncture. To repair a tire, simply change the air chamber or place a patch on the outstanding air chamber while a hose needs to be disjointed and then stitched! 

Airline - a practical system

The air chamber is therefore positioned between the tire and the rim (the latter being covered with a rim background) and is a fuse in the event of a puncture. There is no need to completely remove the tire to repair or change it. 2 tire disassembles are enough to disengage the tire on one of the two side of the rim to enter the air chamber and put it back. The air chambers present on Probikeshop.fr are adapted to the various wheel diameters (650 or 700) and the width of the tires (generally 19 to 28 on racing bikes).
