Hey Thanks Toni ,

I had not realized that wired-on tires , as well as true clincher tires , were first made that early .

And I'm happy to read that real true genuine clincher tires are still available , somewhere !

Hi,

1 to 15: In Europe, single tubes were Michelin´s patent, wire-ons were Welch´s, and clinchers then were thought of by Bartlett to dodge both patents. All were more or less contemporary, early eighteen-nineties, and if someone´s stuck for a real clincher tire for a cycle, ask European collectors, even some good bike shops. Simple. At least over here.
