The updates should be published this year, leading to new rims and tyres designed to meet these standards. Bicycle Retailer reports that the industry has completed work with the ISO (International Standards Organization) and ETRTO (European Tire and Rim Technical Organization) standards bodies to “revise and harmonise the ISO 5775 rim standard and ETRTO tyre standard”. The situation has been getting slowly better, and it looks like it could soon be improving further.

We won’t lie, sometimes it can be really difficult to install a tubeless tyre. Much of that is down to the lack of standards meaning that there are huge compatibility issues between the different rim and tyre brands leading to well-publicised installation issues. Tubeless tyres have the potential to banish inner tubes to the history books, but while they’ve mostly been accepted with open arms in the mountain bike world, roadies have been less welcoming of the technology.

What does this mean for you? It should mean much easier fitting of all tyres regardless of the tyre and rim brand combination, and especially applies to road tubeless where a good seal between tyre and rim is critical. It looks like we might be one step closer to a universal road tubeless standard, as the bike industry bodies have worked together to develop and revise the ISO rim and ETRTO tyre standards to provide better tubeless tyre compatibility, according to a report by Bicycle Retailer.
