open tubulars

Do open tubulars fit on regular clincher type rims?

 

[SamR]

I run Veloflex Open Corsa open tubs on clincher rims, although it works for me, it might depend on tyre brand.
I'd assume as long as they're marketed as "open tubular" they'd probably fit.

They are just a lightweight clincher with a fancy name.

They'll fit.

The Challenge are different from the Veloflex. The Challenge are like tubulars but not sewn up and these are the ones I am contemplating buying.

They are clinchers and will fit any clincher rim.

As Joe says. Open tubulars are just posh clinchers.

It's been a common saying for over 20 years.

Just a high performance clincher aka standard tyre.
