Tubs also have the benefit of coming up wider/rounder than a clincher equivalent.

I was going to post a technical analysis of this proposition, but eventually decided that a sensible answer would be wasted on such uninformed bullshit.

Thought I read this by Leonard Zinn or some such, wider mounting surface for a given ext rim width means less bulb profile than a clincher. Could be wrong, defer to the gods of the forum..

Maybe a long time ago; modern clincher practice is to use wide rims compared with the tyre width.
