Not all modern mountain bike rims are tubeless compatible, so if you want to take the tubeless plunge but don't want to invest in new wheels, the Effetto Mariposa Caffelatex Tubeless strip is the answer.Lightweight, puncture resistant transparent rim strip makes tubeless conversion easyFit strip and valves to wheels, add sealant to tubeless or tubeless-ready tyres, inflate and go for a rideLong lasting construction can be moved from wheel to wheelSold as a kit including two rim strips and two 40mm tubeless valvesWhile 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 than investing in a new set of wheels, the Effetto Mariposa Caffelatex Rim Strip allows you to convert your regular inner-tube only wheels to tubeless-ready, so you can enjoy puncture-free riding.When using the Caffelatex Rim Strip, you can remove your current rim tape or cloth and install the strip. This is the first step in setting your wheels and tyres up tubeless. The strip helps to make the rim as air tight as possible. When combined with the tyre sealant, this keeps the tyres inflated and more resistant to punctures. The width of the tape varies, so you must select the right size for your rim. The Small Kit suits rims with an external section of 20-24mm, Medium suits 25-29mm and Large suits 30-34mm wide rims. Once the strip and valves are installed you can install your tubeless or tubeless-ready tyres, add your sealant of choice, inflate the tyres and you're good to go! You can finally kiss punctures goodbye. The strips and valves are incredibly durable, so you can easily swap them between wheels if you need to. Thanks to the Effetto Mariposa Caffelatex Rim Strip, you no longer need to have a set of expensive tubeless or tubeless-ready wheels to enjoy the benefits of such a setup.

Key Features:The Contact is the jack of all trades amongst city and trekking tyres,Its tread design is based upon the principles of bionics,A SafetySystem Breaker provides ample puncture protection,A uniform centre tread belt ensures a smooth and speedy ride on the road,Flexible shoulder lugs and fine sipes guarantee grip in curves and loose surfaces,The ultra fine carcass fabric reduces the rolling resistance while providing a noticeably more comfortable ride,Constructed from 3 plies, totalling 180 TPI,Weight: 720 grams.
Key Features:This super fast looking city slicker turns any bike into a racer, helping bike messengers meet those tight deadlines or fitness riders who require a faster tyre,Puncture protection and reliability is taken care of thanks to Continental's renowned hard wearing tread compound and two SafetySystem anti puncture layers beneath the tread,An improved 180 tpi (threads per inch) nylon casing increases speed and comfort. This is because the finer casing material deforms more quickly around imperfections in the road surface compared to a lower tpi casing. This feature also improves puncture resistance,The Contact Speed also features a 'skinwall' sidewall. Most city/trekking tyres use a 'gumwall' meaning lots of rubber in the sidewall to improve sidewall puncture resistance. A skinwall sidewall is much faster than a gumwall but just a little forward thinking is needed to avoid scuffing kerbs and to always maintain the minimum recommended tyre pressure,'Micro-diamond' tread pattern rolls fast yet grips on loose debris covering road surfaces like grit, gravel or mud,Able to be used with dynamo lights,Constructed from 3 plies, totalling 180 tpi,Weight: 295 grams.
How Does the Tubular Clincher Tyre Work? When inflated, the tubular clincher (see image below), in the same way as a tubular, is pressed towards the rim. Simultaneously, the bead blocks of the profiled rubber band spread out embedding on the rim shoulders and eliminating any rotation of the tubular clincher against the rim as well as the possibility of the tubular clincher unseating. As the tubular clincher is inflated, the band side literally 'bite' into the rim shoulders. Benefits of Tufo's tubular clincher tyres: high inflation pressures - up to 15 bars (220 psi) without any damage to the rim walls, even in a case when the rim manufacturer specifies lower inflation pressures (the pressure is contained inside the tubular clincher and does not affect the rim wall), same riding quality as with tubular tyres, safe handling in case of punctures (the stability of a rider is not affected), the tubular clincher can be ridden when flat, and the fastest and easiest installation and dismantling without any tools.

Cornering and off camber work is confidently handled by alternating open shoulder lugs. These lugs are shaped to allow a supple feel for pavement and hardpack surfaces while still offering a solid effective edge for grass and loam terrain. If you are looking for that one tyre to do it all Terreno Mix is your choice!

Aggressive file tread or super low-profile knob design? The Terreno Dry bridges the gap between file treads and traditional all-conditions treads. The key to this is the unique angled fish scale design that allows the centre tread to roll extremely fast yet offer traction when loaded in cornering and braking. Add the transitional height mid and side tread and the Terreno Dry transitions as smoothly as it rolls. From gravel grinding to medium conditions cross racing the Terreno Dry offers consistent performance.
