Clinchers is the generic term for your common or garden tyre, i.e. with an inner tube. The other type is tubular which are glued to the rim and have the inner tube sewn into the tyre.
So Mavic Open Pros are 'clincher' rims. Another option for black rims is the Ambrosio Excellence - they are a bit heavier than Open Pros but are very robust. And look nicer too.
