Bicycle tire

A bicycle wheel comprising:

• a tire including an outer annular portion, and a rim coupling portion at an inner area of the outer annular portion, said rim coupling portion having a plurality of coupling holes formed there-through;
• an annular rim formed of rigid materials, the annular rim including an inner annular wall portion, two side wall portions, and two outer protrusions extending transversely from the two side wall portions toward each other, with an annular channel defined in an interior area of the inner annular wall portion, the two side wall portions, and the two outer protrusions;
• and
• a plurality of stoppers of synthetic resin materials, each stopper having a bar shape of generally semi-circular cross-section with an semi-circular or curved upper surface, a generally planar bottom surface, and two opposing end surfaces of slanted face angled toward the generally planar bottom surface of the stopper,
• wherein said stoppers are inserted through the coupling holes of the rim coupling portion with the semi-circular or curved upper surface facing toward a center of the annular rim, and wherein an overall length between the two opposing end surfaces of the stopper is longer than a length of the coupling holes of the tire such that the stoppers inserted through the coupling holes protrude from the coupling holes to lock in the annular channel of the annular rim when the tire is coupled to the annular rim.
