No, they are a tubeless clincher, the hook bead holds the tyre on the rim.

well today i ran over some glass and cut my michelin pro race tires(i patched the tire and i can see the red from the patch bulging out, sweet!), so now im looking for a maybe a michelin krylium or similar(less expensive) to replace it with that might be a little stronger, any suggestions? Also do you guys reuse tubes that you patched up?

I have a pair of Red/Black Pro2Race's that I realized I won't be needing. If anyone wants 'em, drop me a PM.
