The final part of any tubeless kit is the valves. Designed to fit snugly in the rim's valve hole, the Effetto Mariposa Caffelatex Tubeless Valve is lightweight, easy to use and incredibly durable.Lightweight and durable aluminium constructionConic adaptors allow them to adapt to any rim profileSuitable for presta or schrader rimsRemovable valve cores make sealant injection easyThe Caffelatex Tubeless Valves come with clever conic adaptors that allow them to be used with rims drilled for both presta and schrader valves. Constructed from lightweight aluminium, the valves are incredibly durable and also look great. Removable valve cores also make it easy to inject your sealant of choice through the valves and into the tyre. Versatile, lightweight and easy to use, the Effetto Mariposa Caffelatex Tubeless Valves are some of the best you can buy.
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 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 Mariposa Caffelatex ZOT! Nano Tyre SealantCaffélatex Zot! is an instant polymerisation catalyser for Caffélatex, useful in cases of significant tyre damage such as when the damage size exceeds the maximum sealable by normal tyre sealants (around 5mm) and Caffélatex sealant escapes the hole without repairing it.Simply inject Zot! through the damaged area to solidify the Caffélatex inside and repair damages up to 10mm (well above the capacity of any liquid sealant).Caffélatex Zot! Nano 10ml is the Road/XC racer version of the original Zot! 30ml. The Caffélatex-specific catalyser is contained inside a small, flexible blister ending with a 1cm-long x 1mm-diameter metal needle, activating Caffélatex (or Espresso) with surgical precision even on sensitive high-pressure tyres/tubulars. Features: Instantly solidifies localised Caffélatex to mend tyre damage measuring 5-10mm in size Metal needle allows precise injection of Zot! into the site of small punctures Small, lightweight bottle contains enough to get you out of trouble Can be re-sealed with a practical silicone plug for further uses Fits under the bottle cage with special holding clip (supplied)Buy Effetto Wheels & Tyres from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.
