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.
Caffélatex is a truly innovative tyre sealant, successfully used on and off (MTB, cyclocross) road, for tubeless, tubular and inner-tube applications.CharacteristicsImproved formula (since January 2012):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. 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 tiresFoaming action activated by wheel movement: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.Puncture-repairing action:Its fast sealing action makes Caffélatex ideal for MTB and road tubeless, tubular and standard tyres. Caffélatex repairs punctures up to 5 mm (mtb) and 3 mm (road).Stable over time:Thanks to its formula, Caffélatex is a very stable and durable sealant, but we know this is highly dependable on kind of application and external conditions.Using the recommended quantities for tyre size, the expected sealant lifespan is:Tubular (or Caffélatex inserted into latex/butyl inner tube): 1-2 years,UST Tubeless tyre: 4-6 months,Tubeless-ready tyre: 2-4 months,Tube-type tyre: 2-3 months,Nevertheless, in the impossibility of knowing our customers’ specific application (kind of wheel/tyre set-up, tyre sidewall thickness and porosities, external temperature and humidity, bicycle storage conditions…), we recommend 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 punctures..Not corrosive: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.Usage and storage temperatures:From very cold to very hot, exceeding by far those of first-generation latex sealants (usage: -20/+50°C ~ storage: -15/ +30°C).Recommended quantities:30 to 50 ml per wheel for road/cyclocross applications; 50 ml for mtb tyres up to 26×2.10/29×2.00; 60 to 100 ml for mtb tyres over 26×2.10/29×2.00.Sizes:60ml pouch, 250ml or 1000ml bottles or 10 litre workshop tub
Michelin Aircomp Latex inner tubes offer lightweight and efficiency above all else. They offer high resistant to punctures, are lightweight and designed for optimum performance.
Effetto Mariposa Caffelatex Tubeless Presta Valve KitThe Caffélatex Tubeless Valve is a great accessory for any tubeless wheel. Thanks to its conic adapters, this versatile valve will adapt to both Presta and Schrader-drilling and features a removable valve core, which allows re-building and the fitting of a tubeless-specific Caffélatex valve extension. Being made of nickel-plated brass, it's also impressively strong and won’t break even with unfriendly pump heads (or rough hands). To make this valve easily recognisable even when mounted it comes with an anodised aluminium-tuning cap. Like all Effetto Mariposa products, it’s made in Italy to the highest quality standards. Features: Anodised aluminium tuning cap makes your quality product easy to identify even when mounted Removable valve core allows re-building and the fitting of tubeless-specific valve extensions Conic adapters adapt to both Presta and Schrader-drilling Nickel-plated brass won’t break (even with unfriendly pump heads) Suits: Road & Off Road Length: 40mm full length (37mm effective length when inserted into the rim-bed) Kit Contains: 2 x Caffélatex Tubeless Valves 2 x Anodised aluminium tuning caps 2 x Rubber conic adapters 2 x Metal washers 1 x Presta mechanism/Valve extension key Buy Effetto Wheels & Tyres from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.
When used on Presta drilled rims (valve hole diameter: 6.5mm), the rubber valve base ensures a perfect air-tightness simply tightening the valve on the rim (with its nut), without any additional adapter. When used on Presta drilled with a wider (> 6.5mm) inside hole, or when used on Schrader drilled rims (valve hole diameter: 8.5mm), Effetto recommend fitting the conic adapter on the valve before inserting it into the rim. Use the metal washer on the outside of the rim, before tightening the valve nut.
With tubeless tyres becoming more and more prevalent, more and more riders are enjoying the benefits of tubeless. But what if your rims are not tubeless compatible Effetto Mariposa's Caffelatex Tubeless Tape is the answer, allowing you to convert normal rims to tubeless.Rim tape is incredibly easy to use, converting your rims to tubeless-readyRequires tubeless valves and sealant (Sold separately)Can be used with some non-tubeless-ready MTB tyres not recommended for tube-only road/CX tyresWhile 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 investing in a new set of wheels, the Effetto Mariposa Caffelatex Tubeless Tape allows you to convert your regular inner-tube only wheels to tubeless-ready. Starting with the Caffelatex Tubeless Tape, you can remove your current rim tape or cloth and install the tubeless tape. This is the first step in setting your wheels and tyres up tubeless. The tape helps to make the rim as air tight as possible when combined with the tyre sealant. The width of the tape varies, so you must select the right size for your rim. The S Kit suits rims with an external section of 20-24mm, M suits 25-29mm and L suits 30-34mm wide rims.

With tubeless tyres becoming more and more prevalent, never has there been a better time to invest in tyre sealant. 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. Durable, reliable and excellent at sealing punctures, the Effetto Mariposa Caffelatex tyre sealant is some of the best you can buy.
