With tubeless tyres becoming more and more prevalent, more and more riders are enjoying the benefits of tubeless. But what if your rims are not tubeless compatible Effetto Mariposa's Caffelatex Tubeless Tape is the answer, allowing you to convert normal rims to tubeless.Rim tape is incredibly easy to use, converting your rims to tubeless-readyRequires tubeless valves and sealant (Sold separately)Can be used with some non-tubeless-ready MTB tyres not recommended for tube-only road/CX tyresWhile more and more rims are designed from the outset to be used with tubeless and tubeless-ready tyres, there are still a huge number only designed to take tubes. Rather investing in a new set of wheels, the Effetto Mariposa Caffelatex Tubeless Tape allows you to convert your regular inner-tube only wheels to tubeless-ready. Starting with the Caffelatex Tubeless Tape, you can remove your current rim tape or cloth and install the tubeless tape. This is the first step in setting your wheels and tyres up tubeless. The tape helps to make the rim as air tight as possible when combined with the tyre sealant. The width of the tape varies, so you must select the right size for your rim. The S Kit suits rims with an external section of 20-24mm, M suits 25-29mm and L suits 30-34mm wide rims.

The Effetto Mariposa Espresso Inflate & Repair takes all of the pain out of getting a puncture in your inner tube, tubeless tyre or tubular tyre. By combining an inflater with a sealant injector, the Espresso Inflate & Repair will help get you back up and running in no time.Combines tyre inflater with a sealant injector to get you back riding quicklyFlexible silicone hose fits directly to presta valves and is easy to useCaffelatex sealant seals holes in inner tubes up to 1mm and holes in tyres up to 5mm125ml size will inflate up to a 29x3.0 tyreNot only does the Espresso inflate your tyre back up to riding pressure, but the Caffelatex sealant also helps to seal holes up to 5mm. Caffelatex's formula contains microscopic silicate particles, allowing the sealant more time to seal holes. These particles are so small, at less than 2 microns in diameter, that the sealant is still highly fluid and easily coats the inside of your tyre or tubular. The formula also has a foaming action when the wheel is spinning, further helping to improve the sealing of any punctures.Combined with the inflating action and the easy to use flexible hose that fits directly to presta valves, should you puncture you can be back up and running in a matter of seconds. Easy to use and incredibly useful, the Effetto Mariposa Espresso Inflate & Repair is perfect for riders who want to fix a puncture in double quick time.
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.
Effetto Caffe Latex Tubeless Sealant InjectorThis Effetto injector helps you to cleanly and accurately inject Caffélatex tubeless bike tyre sealant, so you can seal tubeless bike tyres through the Presta or Schrader valve.

Once connected, keep the syringe vertical and pour the desire sealant quantity inside, then insert the piston pushing the sealant through the valve.Please Note: To keep a perfect functionality over time, after every use wash thoroughly each part of the syringe with water.Buy Effetto Wheels & Tyres from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.
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.

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 cleaningUse 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 cleaningFeatures: Rapidly biodegradable, pine scented and extremely effective against dirt Ideal for E-Bikes, it can be used without rinsing with water in case of slight dirt, drying it with a cloth In presence of mud or on a very dirty bicycle, spray the product abundantly and leave it to act for a few minutes before rinsing with water It doesn't contain silicones but leaves the surface shiny, with an anti-water and dirt-repellent effect It doesn't remove lubricant from the chain Harmless to chrome, painted parts and carbon It doesn't require special disposal precautions (if in doubt, refer to the legislation in force)Please Note: this bottle is a refill bottle, and the spray head is not included with this bottle.Buy Effetto Mariposa Workshop from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.
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.

Effetto Mariposa Carogna Tubular Rim TapeEffetto started developing their Carogna (pronounced “car-own-ya”) double sided adhesive tubular tape with a clear and ambitious goal to bridge the gap between previously existing tapes and mastic in terms of gluing performance and heat-resistance, while retaining all the advantages of tapes.In addition to this, they gave specific additional consideration to cyclocross and mountain-bike tubular tyres, where specific features are needed from the gluing standpoint.The “S” tape is recommended for traditional/legacy tubular rims (external width up to 20mm). Features: Extremely easy to use. Very reliable adhesion, in any condition. Once removed, Carogna leaves the rim ready for the next gluing, without additional cleaning. Universal performance: Carogna has been tested and is designed to perform flawlessly on any rim material (aluminium/carbon), with any tubular (seamless, handmade, vulcanised sew-ups…), on and off-road. Wide temperature range: Once adhesion is set, the use at low temperatures (down to -40°C) is not a problem. Thermal resistance of all materials used in the manufacture of Carogna was a high priority: Carogna will provide a perfect bonding at 150°C for extended periods (hours), exceeding the heat-resistance of even the best mastics and widely exceeding the heat-resistance of any other tubular tape. Optimised adhesive surface: Adhesion is very strong and uniform across the whole circumference of the rim for all tubulars and it is also uniform across the tubular base tape. One shortcoming of tubular tape to-date has been limited adhesion at the edges of the base tape or in the centre of tubulars with a raised centre seam. Carogna solves these problems. Optimal use: The ideal thermal range for application of Carogna is between 21°C and 38°C, allowing 8 hours to reach 80% of the adhesive strength. Applying the tape below 10°C is not recommended. Effetto recommend cleaning surfaces using iso-propylic alcohol. Buy Effetto Wheels & Tyres from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.
