How does it work?
When inflated, the tubular clincher, in the same way as a tubular tire, 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 tire against the rim as well as possibility of the tire unseating. The bottom profiled bead band does not function only as a filling in the area between the rim and the tire but also plays an active role. As the tire is inflated, the band sides literally "bite" into the rim shoulders. This is the major difference from all previous unsuccessful experiments of other tire manufacturers, where the bottom rubber band was in fact only a passive filling between the rim and the tire.
