It's difficult to make out the bed of the rim. It could be
Velox. It could be the tubular base tape. It could be the
glue.


Look at the rim itself, where the bead of the clincher seats.


Yes, there is a shadow there, but it's hard to tell if it is
a clincher bead. Tubular rims also have a lip there, but it
is not as pronounced. Take a look at the rim profile of the
Hyperon on the Campy website:
http://www.campagnolo.com/wheels.php?gid=1&cid=1

The amount of glare on the rim in the Beloki photos looks
like the gloss surface of the Hyperon rim. Additionally,
the "Campagnolo" logo on the rim looks to be about the same
size as the silver logo/glare on the front wheel. Top it
off with the fact that Beloki WAS riding these wheels earlier.

It could be a clincher, but a close look at the details
seems to point to Beloki's Hyperon tubulars.

It's tubular. You can just see it re-attaching to the rim by the brake
bridge. There is a better photo in one of the other threads.....


This one?

To me, that looks like Velox rim tape.


Look at the rim. Looks like a clincher to me.


It does to me as well, but when a clincher is partly off the rim it
makes a straight line (chord) across the arc, but a tubular tends to
look just like the one in the photo.
