The Mangiacatena Replacement Kit is a genuine replacement parts kit for refreshing the internal parts on the Mangiacatena chain cleaner. It includes all brushes and the two lamellar elements, and it is easy to assemble for prolonged service life. This kit allows you to replace the parts subject to normal wear of Mangiacatena, extending its lifespan. Replacing the brushes inside the Mangiacatena is very simple. For lamellar elements, which are glued, it may be necessary to use a cutter or flathead screwdriver to remove the old elements. To glue the new ones, Effetto Mariposa recommends using normal hobby glue or glue for repairing inner tubes. Leave to dry for a few hours before using Mangiacatena.
Shelter Wheel Kit is made of 35 washers that fit snugly over the valve stem, gluing at its base, with an elegant and almost invisible silencing effect.It's also great to balance wheels, with an additional vibration-reducing action.Key Features:Eliminates valve noises, especially on high-profile rims,Shelter washers can be used to finely balance wheels,Visco-Elastic behaviour reduced vibrations.How to silence valves:Shelter Wheel Kit is made of 35 washers that fit snugly over the valve stem, gluing at its base. With minimum bulk and weight, they provide an elegant and almost invisible silencing effect, cancelling unwanted valve movements and vibrations. The re-sealable bag makes sure washers retain their properties if needed for successive applications.Once Shelter washers are applied on the rim, it’s possible to remove the valve an re-insert it without loosing the silencing effect. This is just one application of our Shelter Wheel Kit, but there’s more.Nobody would drive a fast car whose wheels haven’t been carefully balanced after mounting tyres on.Current high performance bicycle wheels, with fancy ceramic bearings, lightweight carbon rims, cannot deliver their full potential if not properly balanced.It’s an easy task that only requires a Shelter Wheel Kit, a wheel truing stand (or a bicycle turned upside down..), patience and some minutes per wheel.Much nicer and effective than electrical tape to silence valves on high-end wheelsMuch nicer (and effective) than electrical tape to silence valves on high-end wheelsHow to balance wheels:Mount the tyre (and eventually disk) on the wheel, so that the wheel is in its rideable form.IMPORTANT: if balancing a tubeless wheel, make sure there’s very little or no liquid sealant inside (that can be added later). Liquid sealant spreads while riding without creating wheel unbalance, but it will interfere with static balancing.Place the wheel on a truing stand and make sure it can rotate freely.With a gentle push, make the wheel spin. After a few complete rotations in the direction of the push, the wheel will enter a pendulum phase where it makes partial rotations, back and forth. Behaving like a pendulum, the excess of weight on the wheel is subject to a restoring force (due to gravity) that accelerates it toward the equilibrium position. Amplitude of swings will reduce until the wheel stops: the lowest point is where the excess weight is.Often wheels stop with the valve at the lowest point… but sometimes uneven weight distribution on the tyre or less-than-accurate carbon fiber lay up overcompensate that, and the lowest point is not corresponding to the valve.Keeping the lowest point of the rim/tyre as reference, identify the opposite point on the rim (you can find it using a ruler, aligned with the lowest point and the wheel axle) and adhere a Shelter washer there.Repeat the process from #1. Each time the heaviest point may move slightly (because of friction in the hub), but it will normally remain within a +-10 cm (4 inches) range.The wheel is balanced when, upon making it turn, IT WILL STOP WITHOUT ENTERING THE PENDULUM PHASE (it won’t change its rotation sense). With each subsequent spin, the lowest point when the wheel stops is a random point on the circumference, changing every time and depending on bearing friction.Washers can be adhered one on top of the other, or side by side, on top of the rim or on its side (depending on rim profile/size).A good trick, although not always possible, is finding a spoke that’s close to the lightest point of the wheel and cutting the washer on one side, so that the washer can be put around the spoke.Each Shelter washer weights around 1 g. Typical wheel unbalance ranges from 4 to 12 grams.Visco-elasticity reduces vibrations:That’s an added bonus when balancing a wheel with Shelter washers.The transmission of vibrational energy through any structure can be reduced by introducing visco-elastic materials at discrete points. It’s exactly what Shelter does, contributing to reduce vibrations on very stiff wheels.

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 somehow bad reputation of 1.5mm plugs, unable to fix punctures, is due to the common mistake of using these small Plugs with big Forks… opening the hole more than size of the plug. The tiny, dedicated Fork of Tappabuco 1.5 prevents this occurrence.VersionsThree kits are available.Tappabuco 1.5 KIT:Tappabuco 1.5 + 5pcs 1.5mm Plugs.Tappabuco 3.5 KIT:Tappabuco 3.5 + 5pcs 3.5mm Plugs.Tappabuco 1.5 + 3.5 KIT:Tappabuco 1.5 + Tappabuco 3.5 + 5pcs 1.5mm Plugs + 5pcs 3.5mm Plugs.

Whilst many teams continue to race and win using our Crono CX aero bottle and cage system extensive consultation and testing over the 2018 season demonstrated a requirement for something different in certain situations Designed for riders that prefer the feel of a more traditional bottle the Crono TT is a narrow 66 mm 400 ml bottle with an aerodynamic frontal area. The narrower profile tucks it behind the broader kamm-tail style downtubes used by many modern aero frames greatly reducing turbulence compared to a full width bottle. In use this is a halfway house between our Crono CX system and a traditional bottle giving better aerodynamic properties than a traditional cage but with a form some riders will find more practical to use. Custom 66 mm carbon racing rage weighs only 20 grams contributing to a total system weight of just 70 grams Bottle is 100% BPA Free
