A tubeless tire (also spelled as tubeless tyre in Commonwealth English) is a pneumatic tire that does not require a separate inner tube.. Unlike pneumatic tires which use a separate inner tube, tubeless tires have continuous ribs molded integrally into the bead of the tire that are forced by air pressure into a flange on the metal rim of the wheel, sealing the tire to the rim.
Part 1 considers tyres' nomenclature, size designation, marking, dimensions and compatibility with different rims and rim widths. Part 2 considers both general requirements and specific requirements for 5 sub types of rim: straight-sided, tubeless straight-sided, hooked bead, crochet type (not the same as hooked bead type), and tubeless crochet ...
If the tire diameter is not given, section widths ending in zero (e.g., 7.00 or 10.50) indicate the aspect ratio of 92%, while section widths not ending in zero (e.g., 7.05 or 10.55) indicate the aspect ratio of 82%. These aspect ratios often vary from today's tire manufacturer specification. Construction of the fabric of the tire: B: bias belt
ETRTO sizes apply to rims and tyres for vehicles of all types, including bicycles. The great advantage of ETRTO sizing is that it is unambiguous; previously, nominal dimensions were used which were interpreted in different ways by different countries and manufacturers - a problem for the end user.

The combination of a tubular tyre and its tubular rim is lighter than that of a clincher tyre and clincher rim, and will therefore always result in less rotating mass or a stronger construction. [5] Tubulars can also be used over a wider range of tyre pressures from 1.7 to 14 bar (25 to 200 psi), compared to the typical 6-9 bar on a clincher tyre.
Cutaway diagram of a rim and tire from an ATV Cross section of a bicycle rim A wooden bicycle rim with tubular tire. The rim is the "outer edge of a wheel, holding the tire". [1] It makes up the outer circular design of the wheel on which the inside edge of the tire is mounted on vehicles such as automobiles. [2]
