• Clincher: This wheel makes use of a Kevlar bead or steel wire that combines with the flanges around the rim. An inner tube is situated under the rim within this design.
• Tubeless: This type is designed in a way that allows for the avoidance of flats, as they can still be operated when the air pressure is low. Air is placed straight into the tire as opposed to an inner tube.

• Disc brake: This is a type of brake that clamps pads against a disc on both sides in order to stop the wheel that the disc is attached to. The brake disc is constantly rotating as you ride the bike so that pressure is not applied to the same spot on the component each time you brake.
