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.

Replacing standard rim-tape, Caffélatex Tubeless Tape perfectly adapts to rim internal profile and makes standard rims air-tight, sealing spoke holes.It allows tubeless conversion of most standard mountain bike and CX wheels, using Tubeless, Tubeless-Ready, 2Bliss or TNT (Tube No Tube) tyres and Caffélatex sealant.Key Features: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..As all our products, it’s made in Italy.WARNING:Use a sharp spike or a screwdriver to make a round hole in Caffélatex Tubeless Tape at the valve hole. AVOID using a cutter knife and doing an “X” cut, that would prevent proper air-tightness at the valve base.Widths:“S” for rims with external section between 20 and 24 mm;“M” for rims with external section between 25 and 29 mm;“L” for rims with external section between 30 and 34 mm.Available versions:20,5 mm x 50 m (S Shop)25 mm x 50 m (M Shop)29 mm x 50 m (L Shop)
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.Key Features:Shelter tape is a multi-layer acrylic protection tape which dissipates any impact energy on two axis. ,Each layer spreads loads vertically and horizontally, the impact energy decreases at each layer, protecting the bike frame. ,Perfect for carbon frames where the surface epoxy resin can be brittle and sensitive to impacts.,The tape is clear, does not hide graphics and can be applied easily.,Impact test video available for viewing below,Off Road - 1.2mm thick.,Road - 0.6mm thick.
