• Because they are light and weak.

    If you hit something hard enough to pinch flat a clincher, instead of killing the non existent tube you kill the tyre instead - the sidewall gets a cut as the rim slices through it.

    You can pinch flat tubs this way too although it’s slightly less likely.

    Amusingly I’ve never worn out a tubeless clincher - every single one has died this way, or the sidewall has worn out before the tread.

    You cornering on the side walls?

  • funny, never had any of this.. worn out a set over a year and a half of running them at around 1,3 bar (19 PSI)
