Just got my new vittoria rubinos though the post.

I assumed my wheels were clinchers.

Now I'm trying to change the tires and it looks like they're glued on!

There's a bit a space when I deflate the tires inbetween the rim and the tire.

They are Omega 19's.

How can i find out if they are tubs before I fuck it all up?

Update: It looks like there is a slight lip to the rim.

How much of a lip does a clincher need?

I'm confused. As is the OP.

Are the rims Campagnolo Omegas? They were clincher rims to the best of my knowledge.

Get some more tubs or more sensibly a clincher wheelset.

^^Thats what I thought. Google'd and only found clinchers.... hence the reason for buying the rubinos :(

Typical Campag, different rims, same name.

OK... so does anyone want to swap a pair of Campag omega/ campag records 36 front and rear with knacked tires that still hold air for a similar pair of clinchers?

They're road wheels with a 7 speed hub.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

Mention another user by @username

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
