Replacement Plugs can be kept on Tappabuco, keeping them as 5pcs card and inserting the Fork between two Plugs (the picture helps see it).
The Vegetalex from Effetto Mariposa is a plant-based tyre sealant with all natural repairing ingredients. Plant-based puncture repairing ingredientsLightweight & Extremely durableCompatible with the use of CO2 cartridgesBiodegradable and totally plastic freeLow maintenanceEasy to cleanWhy we created it - Our tyre sealant Caffélatex has a strong palmarès of victories to demonstrate its performance, together with a solid and constantly growing base of happy users, worldwide. As we should all do our best to reduce our impact on the environment, we started working on a plant-based sealant that was both good with nature and very effective similar to Caffélatex - against punctures. It took us more than two years of development, but we can now say Vegetalex has exceeded our expectations.Plant-based puncture repairing ingredients - Most tyre sealants employ slowly biodegradable liquid polymers (like natural or synthetic latex) to repair punctures; Vegetalex instead contains only plant-based particles and fibres - finely ground olive stones and cellulose fibres - to deliver a tremendous puncture clogging effect. This mix, held together by xanthan gum (produced from simple sugars), fixes punctures ranging from small tyre porosities to bigger cuts (up to 5 mm) fast and in a permanent way.Extremely durable - Durability was one of the priorities for the Vegetalex project. As it doesn t rely on the solidification of a liquid polymer to fix punctures, rather on a sophisticated mix of different shapes and sizes of natural particles with xanthan gum, Vegetalex has a long active lifespan inside tyres. Starting at 3 months in worst-case scenarios (very porous tyres in hot weather and small quantity of sealant), Vegetalex will keep repairing punctures for more than 6 months inside most tyres. This makes it also suitable for inner-tube applications.Lightweight - Vegetalex has been finely tuned to obtain a high mobility, so that a small quantity goes a long way in terms of coverage of the inner surface of the tyre. For Vegetalex, we suggest using about 20% more than the quantities recommended by the iCaffelatex app for Caffélatex. As an example, for a 29x2.10 (54-622) tubeless-ready tyre iCaffelatex recommends a minimum of 70 ml (approx. 2 ½ oz.) of Caffélatex or 84 ml (approx. 3 oz.) of Vegetalex.Compatible with the use of CO2 cartridges - Vegetalex isn t damaged by the use of CO2 cartridges.Biodegradable and totally plastic free - Vegetalex doesn t contain ammonia or other aggressive chemicals, nor is it toxic or corrosive. Vegetalex doesn t contain macro or micro plastics, no rubber particles (please note: recycled rubber decomposes very slowly!), no aramid fibres (that will remain in the environment for a long time...): all the ingredients of Vegetalex are highly biodegradable. Vegetalex doesn t trigger allergic reactions in people who are allergic to products made with natural rubber latex. However, it may contain traces of nut.Low maintenance - Being able to forget about tyre sealant is the dream of tubeless tyre users. Especially those of us who don t ride too often, wondering whether the sealant is still liquid inside our tyres (or not) is a worry that can spoil the pleasure of a ride. We say that Vegetalex is ideal for e-bikes because e-bikers often have to deal with more complex machines, batteries, and electronics; a sealant that s low maintenance is surely a welcome change. Using more structured tyres, like those specific for e-bikes, Vegetalex will easily last a full season of riding, so that you can spend less time doing bicycle maintenance and more time riding.Easy to clean - Vegetalex doesn t contain pigments or quickly solidifying polymers so it is very easy to remove from surfaces. Even when dry, Vegetalex can be cleaned with soapy water and a brush.Additional tips - It s important to shake Vegetalex bottle well before injecting the sealant into tyres. If extra protection is needed - for example taking a multiple days ride on rocky, thorny terrain we suggest adding 30 ml of product to the recommended quantity.

Characteristics Made of polyester: the best material for technical tapes, with very high mechanical properties. Stable: it easily conforms to rim shapes and has low memory (it doesn’t ‘spring back’ once put down in the rim channel). Adhesive Strength: State of the art. The adhesive can stick to silicone-treated paper and is much more tolerant to less than perfect rim cleaning before tape application Sealed: to preserve the tape properties and to underline its "technical product" status, each tape is now contained into a re-sealable bag.
When the damage size exceeds the maximum sealable by normal tyre sealants (around 5mm) and Caffélatex sealant escapes the hole without repairing it. ZOT! can be injected through the damage then the catalyzed Caffélatex will then be able to repair damages up to 10mm (well above the capacity of any liquid sealant). Caffelatex ZOT! Nano 10ml is the new improved formula of the original ZOT! 30ml. The Caffelatex specific catalyser is contained inside a small, flexible blister ending with a 1cm long x 1mm-diameter metal needle, activating Caffelatex (or Espresso) with surgical precision even on sensitive high-pressure tyres/tubulars. Instructions Caffélatex has to be liquid inside the tyre when the puncture occurs (ZOT! by itself has no sealing properties, it simply accelerates Caffélatex solidification). While ZOT! + Caffélatex can also work on tyre and inner tube setups, tubeless or tubeless-converted tyres are the easiest to work with. Tubulars with a tubular-tubeless construction (where the inner tube is integrated in the casing, like Tufos) are the easiest to work with. Inserting the tip of ZOT! bottle and squeezing it inside the tyre damage will instantly solidify Caffélatex, sealing holes. WARNING: simply pouring ZOT! on the outside of the tyre, won’t fix major damages. For maximum results, insert ZOT! bottle tip slightly inside the casing through the cut (to create a physical plug of solid Caffélatex inside the tyre). ZOT! solidifies Caffélatex locally, without compromising its normal lifespan inside the tyre. ZOT! has been engineered to work specifically with Caffélatex sealant formula.
Carogna Remover is a modern solvent that will soften & gelify dried-out mastic or glues from tubular rims. Then its easier to remove this debris making for the optimal (clean) surface for installation of new Effetto tub tape.
Adhesion is guaranteed by industrial-grade acrylic glue, native to the base tape. This means that when removing the tubular (breaking its bond with the rim), the acrylic glue will stay on the tape, not on the rim. Acrylic has a good adhesion on both aluminium and carbon without any specific surface preparation.

This injector ensures you can easily install Caffelatex sealant into your tyres, ensuring you have an excellent puncture-mending system that allows you to keep riding and focus on your race.
Thanks to the addition of microscopic silicate particles, Caffélatex now moves more slowly through holes, allowing the sealing ingredient more time to heal the puncture. These particles are NOT of macroscopic size (e.g., glitter 150-300 microns) but are instead microscopic particles less than 2 microns in diameter. Please read the MBUK's Six of the best guide to tyre sealants. Thus, Caffélatex flow characteristics change on a microscopic level without the headaches of valve-clogging glitter. Puncture repair speed is up to 5 times faster, an improvement especially noticeable with lightweight or thin-casing tyres. Recommended quantities: 30 to 50ml per wheel for road/cyclocross applications; 50ml for mtb tyres up to 26x2.10/29x2.00; 60 to 100ml for mtb tyres over 26x2.10/29x2.00.

When used on Presta drilled rims (valve hole diameter: 6.5mm), the rubber valve base ensures a perfect air-tightness simply tightening the valve on the rim (with its nut), without any additional adapter. When used on Presta drilled with a wider (> 6.5mm) inside hole, or when used on Schrader drilled rims (valve hole diameter: 8.5mm), Effetto recommend fitting the conic adapter on the valve before inserting it into the rim. Use the metal washer on the outside of the rim, before tightening the valve nut.
Super-lightweight and constructed from high-density EVA, this insert gives tubeless tyres an added layer of protection, ideal for those looking to ride of tough terrain. This pack of two impact absorbers is easy-to-install and does not absorb sealant within the tyre, allowing it to work in perfect harmony with your favourite tyre protection systems.
The Mangiacatena Replacement Kit is a genuine replacement parts kit for refreshing the internal parts on the Mangiacatena chain cleaner. It includes all brushes and the two lamellar elements, and it is easy to assemble for prolonged service life. This kit allows you to replace the parts subject to normal wear of Mangiacatena, extending its lifespan. Replacing the brushes inside the Mangiacatena is very simple. For lamellar elements, which are glued, it may be necessary to use a cutter or flathead screwdriver to remove the old elements. To glue the new ones, Effetto Mariposa recommends using normal hobby glue or glue for repairing inner tubes. Leave to dry for a few hours before using Mangiacatena.
The Allpine Light Eco cleaner is a deep-cleaning, highly efficient and biodegradable bike cleaner that is formulated using pine oil - this superb bike cleaner is ideal for quick cleaning without the need to rinse using water afterwards. With its intense pine scent, Allpine Light is a biodegradable cleaner that will leave your bike clean and shiny. Its formula is very effective against dirt and does not require rinsing, making it ideal also for electric bikes (E-Bikes). Biodegradable Pine Oil Eco Bike Cleaner Allpine Light is harmless to the environment but very effective against dirt. After using it, you can get on a clean bicycle with a nice pine scent - a good way to start an epic ride. It is also ideal for E-Bikes since there is no need to rinse it away after cleaning. There are times when you are in a hurry and a quick cleaning is sufficient, or – especially for e-bikes - you want to limit the use of water close to electrical contacts. For these situations of moderate dirt, Allpine Light and a rag are enough to clean the bike, without the need to rinse with water. Use Without Rinsing: - Spray Allpine Light on a clean rag and wipe the entire frame - After cleaning, the surface will be shiny, with an anti-water and antistatic effect - As it does not contain silicone, it avoids that annoying sticky effect which is a real dust magnet. The surface thus treated also facilitates the flow of water - Note: Allpine Light does not remove the lubricant from the chain, so it is not necessary to relubricate it after such a cleaning - When the going gets tough, it doesn't hold back - If the bike is very dirty and / or muddy, you have to perform a serious cleaning Use With Rinsing: - Generously spray Allpine Light all over the bike - Wait a few minutes to let the product act - Rinse with plenty of water. A sponge or brush is recommended for an optimal result - Dry with a clean cloth. If needed, use more Allpine Light - without rinsing - to remove any streaks or traces of dirt - Lubricate the bicycle (chain, suspension, moving parts) after such a thorough cleaning
This high-performance chain cleaner thoroughly cleans all chain speeds, from single speed all the way up to 10, 11, 12 and 13-Speed chains. If you want to clean the chain in a thorough way and reduce the amount of degreasing liquid used, Mangiacatena is the one for you. It is the first chain cleaner equipped with lamellar elements at both ends, so that the chain can be cleaned by moving it in both directions, very useful also for electric bikes (E-Bikes). Equipped with six rotating brushes and a sturdy handle. Chain Cleaning with Minimum Waste There is nothing wrong with cleaning the chain with the classic brush and solvent liquid in a tin. In that way, however, a lot of solvents are wasted without getting to deep cleaning, unless you want to disassemble the chain and immerse it in the solvent. To avoid disassembly and clean in depth, we have developed Mangiacatena: the best cleaning with the least amount of solvent, in a short time, leaving the chain on the bike. Please Note: Reducing the amount of solvent used doesn’t mean that cleaning takes place without getting dirty. Better to protect the floor with a cloth or work outside. Deep Cleaning Formula The chain runs straight inside Mangiacatena, squeezed at both ends between lamellar plastic (PE) elements with the task of keeping as much solvent inside as possible. The washing is performed by six rotating brushes, continuously soaked in the cleaning liquid, which actively removes dirt on each side, pushing the solvent inside the chain. Instructions for Use: Open Mangiacatena by removing the cover and positioning the lower part of Mangiacatena on the bottom span of the chain Mount the cover making sure it’s perfectly aligned with the lower part, then slide the locking handle in place until it is fully engaged Add the degreasing liquid through the upper holes (it is recommended to use Effetto Mariposa Allpine Extra) until the lower tank is full to the “FILL” level line Keeping Mangiacatena in position with the side handle, pedal backwards for at least 10 full revolutions Note: the two lamellar elements at both ends reduce the waste of solvent, but slow down the sliding of the chain at least in the initial phase… so don't be afraid, just hold the Mangiacatena firmly Note: thanks to the lamellar elements, Mangiacatena allows - without wasting solvent - to pedal in both directions. To do this, it is recommended to keep the rear wheel of the bicycle off the ground (using a workshop stand or other support) It is now possible to move Mangiacatena: release the side locking handle by depressing the thumb lever and remove it, open the cover, disassemble Mangiacatena from the lower span of the chain and position it, as already described, on the upper span of the chain, for a second cleaning step. Add more degreaser if necessary Keeping Mangiacatena in position using the side handle, pedal backwards for at least 10 full revolutions Disassemble Mangiacatena and empty the liquid contained inside (dispose of in accordance with the law if you use non-biodegradable degreasers or lubricants) Water rinse: mount Mangiacatena on the lower span of the chain, add water through the top holes and make at least 10 full revolutions Disassemble Mangiacatena and empty the liquid contained inside (dispose of it in accordance with the law if you use non-biodegradable degreasers or lubricants). Repeat from point 8 until perfect rinsing. In the end, rinse Mangiacatena with water and allow to air dry Dry the chain (rag, compressed air) and do not forget to lubricate it (we recommend our ecological Flowerpower Wax lubricant) Effetto Mariposa has selected Mangiacatena materials and construction for long life. They also provide a complete set of replacement brushes, Mangiacatena Replacement Kit, to replace what you wear without having to throw everything away. They have also chosen to use lamellar PE elements at both ends, instead of the more common sponges, for their greater durability and resistance For Single-Speed Transmissions and 5 to 13 Speed Chains The chain runs straight inside Mangiacatena, instead of following a tortuous path, making it also suitable for single-speed transmissions (for a chain with a maximum width of 9 mm). No problem for traditional 5 to 13 speed chains.
