The Effetto Giustaforza II Pro Anniversary Torque Wrench is made for Effetto Mariposa's 10th anniversary and targeted at professional users. The Giustaforza II 2-16 Pro Anniversary bicycle torque wrench has a gun-metal grey hard anodization and a reversible ratcheting head. This version is completed with cycling-specific bits and comes into a practical workshop case.Specifically designed for bicycle applicationsVery easy to useExtreme constructive quality for maximum reliability and durabilitySmall and highly reliable ratcheting headNo batteries to replaceNo plastic partsDetail of bits:10x25mm (HEX2, HEX2.5, HEX3, HEX6, T10, T15, T20, T30, -3/16, +PH1)3x100mm (HEX4, HEX5, T25)1x100mm (extension)Capacity from 2 up to 16 Nm: This is the best torque range for precision bicycle applications and sensitive components. In use, always refer to the torque values specified on technical documents or printed on the parts themselves.Ratcheting head: For a higher productivity in professional applications, Giustaforza Pro Anniversary gets a very small and highly reliable ratcheting head. 1/4 square (1/4 square/hex adapter provided, to be able to use standard bits).Lightweight: The light aluminium body keeps the weight down to a record-breaking sub-200g value, less than half the weight of other torque wrenches in this range of torque. This is paramount to get the right feedback at low torque values, without mistaking the effort to hold the tool with the applied torque.A state-of-the art tool, built to last: Functional, linear in design and precise in any detail: shouldn t be a surprise to know that Giustaforza II 2-16 Pro Anniversary has been designed and produced in Italy. The wrench body is hard-anodized with laser-etched inscriptions, and it s built to last. The mechanical, click-type functioning makes the wrench extremely shock tolerant and the absence of batteries or electronics furtherly increase its reliability. Each sample is checked and numbered as a single masterpiece.Bits: Bits include a 100 mm-long extension, three 100 mm-long bits (hex 4, hex 5 e T25) plus several other Torx and hex bits in standard length (25 mm). That covers all the needs of newest Shimano, SRAM and Campagnolo high-end groupsets, plus those of reversed-bolt stems. All bits are manufactured from S2 special steel, with very high (62 Hrc) surface hardness, to ensure maximum durability.
The Effetto Mariposa Giustaforza Bicycle Torque Wrench is an ideal tool for both professional mechanics and cycling enthusiasts, the Giustaforza 1-8 torque wrench has a very small head, to operate in tight spaces. This Deluxe version is completed with cycling-specific bits in a practical wrap package.Specifically designed for bicycle applicationsVery easy to useExtreme constructive quality for maximum reliability and durabilityVery small, non-ratcheting head, to operate in tight spacesNo batteries to replaceNo plastic parts10x25mm (HEX2, HEX2.5, HEX3, HEX6, T10, T15, T20, T30, -3/16, +PH1)3x100mm (HEX4, HEX5, T25)1x100mm (extension)Capacity from 1 up to 8 Nm: The Giustaforza 1-8 is especially attractive for very sensitive bolts. On those, where the right torque matters most, tightening values can be easily exceeded without the user knowing. Going as low as 1 Nm puts the Giustaforza 1-8 in a league on its own. In use, always refer to the torque values specified on technical documents or printed on the parts themselves.Minimal, fixed head: The simple, non-ratcheting head has been designed to operate where space is limited, for example with some seat clamps. This small head is a unique asset to work in tight areas. Compatible with standard 1/4 bits.Lightweight: The light aluminium body keeps the weight below140 g, less than half the weight of other torque wrenches in this range of torque.

The Effetto Mariposa Mangiacatena Chain Cleaner is for quick and effective chain cleaning without the need to remove the chain from the bike, use a chain cleaning tool rather than simple brushes.Effective chain cleaning toolSix rotating brushes clean deep in to chainSturdy handleDual direction design, great on e-bikesReplacement brush kit availableWorks on 5 speed chains, up to 13 speedsMaximum chain width 9mmAlso suitable for single speed transmissionsThe Mangiacatena (Translation: Chain Eater) will thoroughly de-grease and clean the whole chain. It is the tool of its type to be equipped with lamellar (finned) elements at both ends, meaning the degreaser is contained when the chain is moved in either direction. This saves on degreaser, is less messy and very useful on many ebikes where only pedalling forwards moves the chain.Once the tool is assembled around the chain, degreaser is added to the fill level (Effetto Allpine Extra recommended). The chain follows a simple, low resistance path straight through Mangiacatena. First it is squeezed at both ends by the plastic fins then scrubbed clean by six rotating brushes which get soaked in the degreaser.For best results move the chain ten times through Mangiacatena with the tool installed below the Chainstay then repeat with it mounted above the Chainstay. Dispose of the dirty degreaser correctly then repeat the first stage but with water to rinse the chain and brushes. Finally dry the chain with a clean cloth before re-lubrication.
The Effetto Tyreinvader is an anti-pinch-flat insert for tubeless tyres. Very simple to use and light, it saves your tyres and rims from hard impacts without interfering with the way your wheels behave.Available in several widths, to fit rims and tyres from Gravel to PlusPremium material (high density EVA) absorbs shocks but not sealantVery light weight (starting at 53g for one 29 wheel) and high durabilityCan be easily adapted to common wheel diameters (26 , 27.5 , 29 )No need for specific tubeless valvesPeople riding aggressively on rocky terrain wish to reduce their inflating pressure for better traction and control, and at the same time they need to avoid hitting hard , pinching the tyre casing between the rim and a rock, cutting it and/or damaging the rim. That s where tyre inserts (anti-pinch-flat inserts, tyre noodles, etc.) can be helpful. These devices fit inside tubeless tyres and absorb a part of the impact, protecting tyre and rim. With TyreInvader we want to offer an excellent yet simple solution, keeping weight and cost low. Learn more about tyre inserts in general in this tech article.No influence on normal riding - TyreInvader is flat, and it will basically come into play only when needed (unlike round inserts that are compressed quite often during normal riding). It s still better to test ride TyreInvader before racing it. We don t suggest using lighter tyres nor to go incredibly low with inflating pressure: just set you tyres up the way you like them, and don t worry about pinch flats.The weights for the different TyreInvaders refer to the product uncut (for 29 wheels), so it s even lower when adapted to 27.5 or 26 wheels.TyreInvader 35 = 48 gTyreInvader 40 = 53 gTyreInvader 50 = 68 gTyreInvader 55 = 80 gTyreInvader 60 = 92 gTolerance on nominal weight is + / 5%Premium material - TyreInvader is made of high density EVA, a very durable/strong/light foam employed by the sport shoe industry: this material can resist heavy impacts with very little damage. We recommend to check Tyreinvader once a year or after hard riding sessions, and to replace it if needed.Sealant-optimised - EVA has a closed-cell structure that cannot absorb any sealant. Additionally, the cut-outs of TyreInvader allow the sealant to easily move around, to make sure punctures can be quickly fixed.As inserts have surfaces that are wetted by the sealant, a fraction of it won t be available to move around to do its job. For this reason, also with TyreInvader we recommend to slightly increase the quantity of sealant normally employed, by 30 ml. TyreInvader has been designed to function with our Caffélatex sealant, ammonia free.Easy to assemble and mount - Just cut TyreInvader following the instructions (for 27.5 and 26 ; no need to cut for 29 ), join its two ends with the two (provided) zip-ties, mount it inside the tyre (it will stretch a little bit to fit the diameter no worries), add sealant, go ride. Our Tech Videos can help clear any doubt.Real run flat behaviour - TyreInvader has been sized to sit tightly on the rim, so that in case of emergency it will push the tyre against the rim, allowing the rider to finish the run or ride until it s safe to stop. This should be considered an exceptional functioning mode, as we don t recommend you ride with TyreInvader at zero pressure.Compatible with any tubeless valve - The shape of TyreInvader prevents it for sitting over the valve base, on most rims. To make sure it doesn t happen on any rim, TyreInvader has an open slot, to be positioned over the valve.Size Guide:35 - Rim External Width: 18-25mm - Tyres: 32-42mm/1.25-1.5"40 - Rim External Width: 20-30mm - Tyres: 42-54mm/1.5-2.1"50 - Rim External Width: 25-35mm - Tyres: 54-60mm/2.1-2.4"55 - Rim External Width: 30-40mm - Tyres: 57-65mm/2.25-2.6"60 - Rim External Width: 35-50mm - Tyres: 63-80mm/2.5-3.2"

This tubeless tyre repair kit is easy to carry and fast to use.Contains: Tappabuco 1.5 + 5pcs 1.5mm PlugsStainless Steel ForkHigh Density Silicone1.5mm PlugsFits into Road or MTB HandlebarsWhy We Created It - Tyre Plugs have become a standard way of fixing bigger punctures in Tubeless Tyres. With Tappabuco (Italian for stopgap or literally hole plugger) Effetto Mariposa wants to offer a practical solution for road and off-road riding, easy to carry and fast to use.Easy to Carry - Tyre Plug tools have to be easily reached in case of puncture but because of their sharp shape they should be stored in a safe way. Tappabuco solves this, as it s designed to work as end-plug for road and mountain bike handlebars, and it can be carried inside most Shimano and SRAM Bottom Brackets too (it will fit holes with inner diameter between 15 and 20 mm). Keeping the Rubber Tyre Plug already in the Tappabuco Fork ensures fast puncture repairing of Tubeless Tyres.Lightweight - Tappabuco is made of high density Silicone with a Stainless Steel Fork, for maximum durability and adaptability. Weight is just 13g for Tappabuco 3.5 and 11g for Tappabuco 1.5. 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.
