Do Zipp wheels have a weight limit?
Zipp claims the new rim profile means that tubeless tyres can be fitted and removed tool-free, and that there’s no need for an air compressor to seat tyres. As with the hookless 303 S rim, the maximum inflation pressure on the new 303 Firecrest rim is notably low at 72.5psi. The maximum rider weight limit is 115kg.
What are clincher wheels?
Clinchers are the bike tires you rode as a kid. They have an outer “carcass” made for whatever type bike they need to be. The name clincher comes from the fact that these tires “clinch” to the rim of the wheel with a bead of hard rubber.

Are clincher tires tubeless?
Clinchers tyres are what the vast majority of us use these days: tyres with beads around the edge that hook into the rim of a clincher wheel, with entirely separate inner tubes that you can repair or replace if you puncture. Many clincher wheelsets also offer a tubeless ready construction so you swap to tubular.
Is tubeless faster than clincher?

The 23mm clinchers, however, performed worse than the 25mm tubeless option, with 26.6 watts required at 45kmh.
