Was on the Strada website and read this:
The Velocity A23 has been described as a “Clinchular” because it has all the benefits of a tubular tyre (smooth ride quality, lower rolling resistance) with the convenience of a clincher tyre (ease of installation, easy to repair a flat). The added rim width (23mm) makes the tyre wall sit straighter on the rim providing a ride like a tubular with the convenience of a clincher. http://www.stradawheels.co.uk/shop/velocity-a23-wheelset/

Im sure I've heard of this before but my (painful) experience is that if the rim is too wide you will roll your clincher!
Is this the latest BS marketing from rim manufacturers or is there some credibility?
Thoughts?
