Tubular Tires

Velo hoses - Comfort and sensations

THE hoses are among the tires found on Bike wheels. Unlike the classic tire, the air chamber is directly integrated into the hose. The screed is actually sewn around the room and the whole sticks directly to the rim. The system is lighter than the tire + air chamber + rim background, but this is not the only advantage. The hose is also renowned for its performance, its pinching resistance and the comfort it brings. It also allows you to use lighter wheels. Its only drawback and that it is less easily repairable than the tire. It is indeed necessary to battle it to repair the room inside and then sew it properly.
 

Velo hoses - The ancestor of the tire

The less practical hose has therefore become less common since the invention of bike tire. But he has not disappeared! The hose continues to cohabit with the tire that has changed slightly use. Today it is more intended for competitions even if some fans continue to use it in training. Its light weight is all the more interesting for competitors as it is associated with a rotation part (the wheel). His yield and its comfort (more flexible than a tire) also provide better sensations on the road.
