Caffélatex Tubeless Valve is a great accessory for any tubeless wheel. Like all our products, it’s made in Italy to the highest quality standards.Key Features:adapt to any rim profile with the included conic adapter,light, reliable aluminum body,come in 40, 70 and 100 mm lengths.Thanks to the provided conic adapter, Caffélatex Tubeless Valve works on both Presta and Schrader-drilled rims:On Presta-drilled rims (valve hole diameter: 6,5 mm): depending on the rim shape the flat rubber valve base might ensure a perfect air-tightness, without any additional adapter, or the conic adapter might be needed,On Presta-drilled with a wider (> 6,5 mm) inside hole, or when used on Schrader drilled rims (valve hole diameter: 8,5 mm).We recommend fitting the conic adapter on the valve before inserting it into the rim.Generally speaking, the conic adapter makes life a lot easier with the various rim profiles, as in some cases a flat-base works better than a conic base, and vice-versa. With Effetto Mariposa valves, the conic adapter allows to pass from flat to conic in a breeze.Light and reliableWe opted for an aluminum alloy that will bend before breaking, adding reliability to the lightness required by modern rims.Great lookEffetto Mariposa valves come with a red-anodized aluminum cap, to underline their quality and make them easily recognizable even when mounted.Removable valve coreThis feature allows easy mechanism replacement and the fitting of our tubeless-specific Caffélatex Valve Extensions.Available sizes40 mm length for rim profiles between 10 and 30 mm70 mm length for rim profiles between 31 and 60 mm100 mm length for rim profiles between 61 and 90 mmThese plus our 35 mm or 45 mm Caffélatex Valve Extensions allow to fit virtually any rim in the market.Complete with accessoriesEach pack includes two Caffélatex Tubeless Valves, two red-anodized aluminum caps, two rubber conic adapters, two nuts, two o-rings and a Presta mechanism/valve extension key.
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.
Veloforte Doppio Caffeine Gel Energy Pack (12 x 33g)Keep your focus and keep moving with the Veloforte Doppio Caffeine Gel Energy Pack which contain 12 gels specially formulated with a 3-in-1 formula which combines energy, natural caffeine and electrolytes.The gels keep you energised for long periods of time with the use of dual-source natural carbohydrate with an optimised mix of glucose and fructose. The glucose comes from brown rice syrup which ensures the fast-release of energy which goes straight to your muscles. Additionally, date nectar is added which is higher in fructose which ensures a slower energy release to keep you fuelled for longer. Finally, maple syrup is added which combines both glucose and fructose while providing a natural sweetness to the gel and being a natural source of antioxidants.Keeping you hydrated the gels are also formulated with pink Himalayan salt, which is the most potent salt on the planet. The salt is packed full of electrolytes which aid in maintaining a healthy fluid balance, reduce muscle cramping and optimise muscle function as you train.Giving you that extra boost, each gel also comes with 75mg of caffeine. Caffeine can help prevent fatigue and can help you to keep your focus.Directions for UseConsume the first energy gel between 60-75 minutes into a workout, and then consume a gel every 45 minutes or so after that. Always consume the gels with some water – without it the gels will take a little longer to digest and be slower to enter the blood stream.Nutritional Information Per 100gPer 33g ServingEnergy (kJ/Kcal)1136/267375/88Fat (g)0.10.1of which Saturates (g)0.10.1Carbohydrates (g)65.722of which Sugars (g)49.716.4Fibre (g)0.40.1Protein (g)0.70.2Salt (g)0.80.3Sodium (mg)329110Potassium (mg)8127Magnesium (mg)227Calcium (mg)145Caffeine (mg)22775Ingredients: Unrefined Brown Rice Syrup, Date concentrate, maple syrup, water, Guarana Extract, Freeze Dried Decaffeinated Coffee, Pink Himalayan Salt.Allergen Information: For allergen information see ingredients in bold.Features2-in-1 formula combines energy and electrolytesMade with real fruitProvides 22g of natural energy per gelUses dual-source natural carbohydrate with an optimal mix of glucose and fructosePacked full of the purest electrolytesEnriched with pink Himalayan salt to help maintain a healthy fluid balance, reduce muscle cramping and optimise muscle function as you work hardEach gel comes with 75mg of caffeine, providing an extra boost and preventing fatigueSuitable for vegetarians and vegansBuy Veloforte Endurance from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.
Effetto Caffelatex Tubeless FluidThis tubeless tyre sealant from Effetto is an effective and successfully sealant designed for use for off-road, road, tubeless, tubular and inner-tube bikes. Providing you with a durable, reliable, puncture-resistant sealant, it is ammonia-free and does not include any abrasive chemicals. It turns into foam when agitated, spreads easily and doesn’t unbalance the wheel. It has been used successfully in cyclocross, road and mountain biking at all levels, from leisure riding to professional racing.It works thanks to the addition of microscopic silicate particles, Caffélatex moves slowly through holes, allowing the sealing ingredient more time to heal the puncture. These particles are less than 2 microns in diameter. Thus, Caffélatex flow characteristics change on a microscopic level without the headaches of valve-clogging glitter. Puncture repair speed is especially noticeable with lightweight or thin-casing tyres.The first advantage of Caffélatex over classic latex-based sealants comes from a foaming agent (Actifoam™), activated by wheel movement. Centrifugal force drives standard latex-based sealants against the outer circumference of the tyre. Caffélatex foaming action causes it to fill the tyre’s entire internal cavity, making it much more effective against sidewall punctures.Thanks to its formula, Caffélatex is a very stable and durable sealant, although its lifespan is also dependant on kind of application and external conditions. Being completely ammonia-free, its 100% tyre and rim friendly. It’s also a favourite sealant for cyclocross/tubular applications, creating no harm to the sensitive latex inner tubes.Features:Capacity: 1000ml Its fast sealing action makes Caffélatex ideal for MTB and road tubeless, tubular and standard tyresCaffélatex repairs punctures up to 5mm (MTB) and 3mm (road)The expected sealant lifespan is: Tubular (or Caffélatex inserted into latex/butyl inner tube): 1-2 yearsUST Tubeless tyre: 4-6 monthsTubeless-Ready tyre: 2-4 monthsTube-type tyre: 2-3 monthsEffetto recommends checking Caffélatex every 2 months, to make sure it’s liquid and therefore retains its ‘puncture preventive’ action. When dry, Caffélatex-sealed wheels are still air-tight, but Caffélatex won’t actively repair puncturesBuy Effetto Wheels & Tyres from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.
The Doppio Caffeine Gels combine unrefined brown rice syrup, date nectar and maple syrup. The brown rice syrup delivers essential fast-release glucose for the rapid delivery of energy straight to your muscles. Date nectar is higher in fructose which ensures a slower energy release to keep you feeling fuelled for longer. Meanwhile, maple syrup adds a mellow, natural sweetness from both glucose and fructose, and is a powerful source of antioxidants. Additionally, the gels each come with 75mg of natural caffeine, which is the equivalent of a large espresso. The caffeine delivers an extra boost, improving reaction speed, alertness and concentration while reducing your perception and exertion. Directions for Use Consume the first energy gel between 60-75 minutes into a workout, and then consume a gel every 45 minutes or so after that. Always consume the gels with some water – without it the gels will take a little longer to digest and be slower to enter the blood stream.
Research on traditional sports drinks suggests that you can only consume 60g carbohydrate per hour. Using High5’s new generation Energy Drink Caffeine with 2:1 fructose and caffeine, you can consume substantially more carbohydrates, up to 100g per hour. The ingredients in Energy Drink Caffeine help sustain performance during tough endurance events and help maintain hydration by enhancing the absorption of water. Pro athletes choose Energy Drink Caffeine when endurance racing. Directions for Use Mix the powder into 500ml of water and shake well. Energy Drink Caffeine Hit is intended to be used as: a one-time caffeine hit, before or during training, towards the end of a long ride, to caffeine load before or during a major race.

Effetto Mariposa's Caffelatex Tyre Sealant is an innovative sealant that has long been proven at the highest level on and off-road. Highly effective tyre sealant that lasts up to 2 years in a tubular tyreFoaming action when wheel is turning helps to prevent puncturesMicroscopic silicate particles also help to provide quicker sealing, resulting in less air loss when you punctureSeals holes up to 5mm on an MTB tubeless tyreContains no ammonia and is non-corrosive, making it safe to use in tubular tyresCaffelatex's formula contains microscopic silicate particles, allowing the sealant more time to seal holes up to 5mm. 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.Not only is Caffelatex sealant highly effective at sealing punctures, it is also incredibly durable. Thanks to its innovative formula, the sealant can last up to 2 years depending on the application and the external conditions. When using the sealant in a tubular tyre with a latex inner tube, you can expect the sealant to last between 1-2 years. For tubeless-ready tyres the sealant lasts 4-6 months, so you can go a long time between fill ups and enjoy puncture-free riding for months on end before you need to check if the sealant has dried out.
