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. 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: Giustaforza 1-8 has a hard-anodized aluminium body 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 increase its reliability. Each sample is checked and numbered as a single masterpiece.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). All bits are manufactured from S2 special steel, with very high (62 Hrc) surface hardness, to ensure maximum durability.
The home-mechanic s dream tool, the Effetto Giustaforza II has a smaller, non-ratcheting head than the Pro, to operate in tight spaces. The Deluxe version is completed with cycling-specific bits and comes into a practical wrap package.Capacity from 2 up to 16Nm: 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.Easy to Use: Set the desired torque rotating the wrench end knob, reading the torque value on the scale (scale resolution is 0,5 Nm, integers on one side, 0,5 on the other). Insert the appropriate bit (depending on the bolt you need to tighten). When using the tool, a loud CLICK and a 3° free movement tells when the torque has been reached. Always take the wrench to minimum torque value after use.Minimal Fixed Head: Giustaforza s simple, non-ratcheting head has been chosen on purpose on this version, to facilitate the tightening of bolts where space is very limited (like seatpost bolts parallel to the seatpost shaft in zero offset models). The head is now smaller than ever, to maximise this advantage.Lightweight: The light aluminium body keeps the weight down to a record-breaking sub-180g 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 has been conceived and produced in Italy. The tool is hard-anodized with laser-etched inscriptions, and it s built to last. The mechanical, click-type functioning make the wrench extremely shock tolerant and the absence of batteries or electronics further increase its reliability. Each sample is checked and numbered as a single masterpiece.

Shelter is a self-adhesive, transparent protection with visco-elastic behaviour that protects carbon-fibre or metal structures it’s applied to. Available in two versions, Road and Off-Road, and three different formats each (Kit, Pack and Roll).Off Road - 1.2mm thick,Road - 0.6mm thick.Shelter Tape Off Road Kit Contains the following cut outs: 1 x Down Tube, 1 x Chain Stay, 1 x Top Tube/ Head Tube, 5 x Cable/ Hose spots.Shelter Tape Road Kit Contains the following cut outs:1 x Down Tube, 1 x Chain Stay, 8 x Cable spots, 4 presta valve hole (to reduce noise).Shelter Tape Road Pack and Off Road Pack contain:Two 54mm x 500mm lengths to be custom cut to your needs.Shelter Tape Road Roll and Off Road Roll contain:One 54mm x 5m length to be custom cut to your needs.Shelter tape is a multi-layer acrylic protection tape which dissipates any impact energy on two axisEach layer spreads loads vertically and horizontally, the impact energy decreases at each layer, protecting the bike framePerfect for carbon frames where the surface epoxy resin can be brittle and sensitive to impactsThe tape is clear, does not hide graphics and can be applied easily
Carogna double sided adhesive tape for tubulars bridges the gap between previously existing tapes and mastic in terms of gluing performance and heat-resistance.Key Features:Extremely easy to use compared to mastic,Very reliable adhesion, in any condition,Once removed, Carogna leaves the rim ready for the next gluing, without additional cleaning,Works for road and cyclocross,Also available in very convenient Shop rolls.Why we created it:We started developing Carogna (pronounced “car-own-ya”) double sided adhesive tubular tape with a clear and ambitious goal: to bridge the gap between previously existing tapes and mastic in terms of gluing performance and heat-resistance, while retaining all the advantages of tapes.In addition to this, we gave specific additional consideration to cyclocross (read the specific how-to guide here!) and mountain-bike tubulars, where specific features are needed from the gluing standpoint.Universal performance:Carogna has been tested and is designed to perform flawlessly on any rim material (aluminum, carbon), with any tubular (seamless, handmade, vulcanized sew-ups…), on and off-road.The tape has two application-specific sides:Semi-structural and removable on the rim-side: adhesion is guaranteed by industrial-grade acrylic glue, native to the base tape; this means that when removing the tubular (breaking its bond with the rim), the acrylic glue will stay on the tape, not on the rim. Acrylic has a good adhesion on both aluminum and carbon without any specific surface preparation.Permanent on the tubular side: there’s a 1 mm-thick layer of a recently-developed permanent glue for underwater applications. This thick glue film will move and spread when the tubular is first inflated, ensuring optimized contact with any tubular base tape geometry. Humidity is obviously not an issue, and this glue adheres well to any kind of base tape material (nylon, cotton, poly-cotton) or external finishing (raw, brushed, or coated by neoprene).Wide temperature range in use:Once adhesion is set, the use at low temperatures (down to -40°C) is not a problem. Thermal resistance of all materials used in the manufacture of Carogna was a high priority: Carogna will provide a perfect bonding at 150°C for extended periods (hours), exceeding the heat-resistance of even the best mastics and widely exceeding the heat-resistance of any other tubular tape.Optimized adhesive surface:Adhesion is very strong and uniform across the whole circumference of the rim for all tubulars and it is also uniform across the tubular base tape. One short-coming of tubular tape to-date has been limited adhesion at the edges of the base tape or in the center of tubulars with a raised center seam. Carogna solves these problems.Temperature range when mounting :The ideal thermal range for application of Carogna is between 21°C and 38°C (70 to 100°F), allowing 8 hours to reach 80% of the adhesive strength . Applying the tape below 10°C is not recommended.We recommend cleaning surfaces (rim and tubular base tape) using iso-propylic alcool or mineral spirits.
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"
