I have just purchased a pair of Vredestein Fortezza Quattro Tricomp tyres which claim to be only suitable for Crotchet Rims. Does anyone know what a crotchet rim is and whether my Ksyrium SL's have them?

    As long as your Ksyriums are for HP/clincher tyres, you'll be OK - crotchet is another term for hooked bead - both pretty archaic terms no longer in general use as all modern clincher rims are of this design.

    agreed. Never heard the term 'crotchet rim' however.
