  2. Tubular tyre - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tubular_tyre

    The combination of a tubular tyre and its tubular rim is lighter than that of a clincher tyre and clincher rim, and will therefore always result in less rotating mass or a stronger construction. [5] Tubulars can also be used over a wider range of tyre pressures from 1.7 to 14 bar (25 to 200 psi), compared to the typical 6-9 bar on a clincher tyre.

  3. T-tubule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-tubule

    T-tubules (transverse tubules) are extensions of the cell membrane that penetrate into the center of skeletal and cardiac muscle cells.With membranes that contain large concentrations of ion channels, transporters, and pumps, T-tubules permit rapid transmission of the action potential into the cell, and also play an important role in regulating cellular calcium concentration.

  4. Bicycle tire - Wikipedia

    A clincher bicycle tire mounted on a wheel A cross section of a clincher tire with a puncture-preventing layer (in blue) between the casing and the tread An inner tube rolled up for storage or to be carried as a spare. A bicycle tire is a tire that fits on the wheel of a bicycle or similar vehicle.

    In biology, a tubule is a general term referring to small tube or similar type of structure. Specifically, tubule can refer to: a small tube or fistular structure; a minute tube lined with glandular epithelium [1] any hollow cylindrical body structure

    It is also referred to as the vesicular-tubular cluster (VTC) or, originally, tubulo-vesicular compartment. In mammalian organisms, COPII vesicles that have budded from exit sites in the endoplasmic reticulum lose their coats and fuse to form the vesicular-tubular cluster (VTC).

    Tubular tyre, a bicycle tyre (tire) which is glued onto the rim; The adjective is often applied to parts of the body which resemble or are composed of tube-like members: Tubular gland; parts of the kidney: Distal convoluted tubule; Uriniferous tubule; Tubular fluid, the fluid in the tubules of the kidney

  8. Tire uniformity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_uniformity

    Tire uniformity refers to the dynamic mechanical properties of pneumatic tires as strictly defined by a set of measurement standards and test conditions accepted by global tire and car makers. These standards include the parameters of radial force variation , lateral force variation , conicity, ply steer, radial run-out , lateral run-out , and ...

  9. Tubeless tire - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tubeless_tire

    A tubeless tire (also spelled as tubeless tyre in Commonwealth English) is a pneumatic tire that does not require a separate inner tube.. Unlike pneumatic tires which use a separate inner tube, tubeless tires have continuous ribs molded integrally into the bead of the tire that are forced by air pressure into a flange on the metal rim of the wheel, sealing the tire to the rim.
