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.

Effetto Mariposa Caffelatex Tubeless Rim TapeDesigned to replace standard rim-tape, Caffélatex Tubeless Tape perfectly adapts to the internal rim profile and makes standard rims airtight by sealing the spoke holes. It allows tubeless conversions of most standard mountain bike wheels, using Tubeless or Tubeless-Ready tyres and Caffélatex sealant. Three different widths are available: S: for rims with external width between 20 and 24mm; M: for rims with external width between 25 and 29mm; L: for rims with external width between 30 and 34mm. Features: Made of polyester: The best material for technical tapes, with very high strength 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: The adhesive can stick to silicone-treated paper and is much more tolerant to less-than-perfect rim cleaning before tape application. Smaller core: 1 inch instead of 3 inch-diameter cores of most tapes, to save space and to make it easier to tension it while taping the rim (inserting the thumb inside the core, it happens very naturally). Sealed: to preserve the tape properties and to underline its “technical product” status, each tape is now contained in a re-sealable bag.

Effetto Mariposa Carogna Tubular Rim TapeEffetto started developing their 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, they gave specific additional consideration to cyclocross and mountain-bike tubular tyres, where specific features are needed from the gluing standpoint.The “S” tape is recommended for traditional/legacy tubular rims (external width up to 20mm). Features: Extremely easy to use. Very reliable adhesion, in any condition. Once removed, Carogna leaves the rim ready for the next gluing, without additional cleaning. Universal performance: Carogna has been tested and is designed to perform flawlessly on any rim material (aluminium/carbon), with any tubular (seamless, handmade, vulcanised sew-ups…), on and off-road. Wide temperature range: 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. Optimised 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 shortcoming of tubular tape to-date has been limited adhesion at the edges of the base tape or in the centre of tubulars with a raised centre seam. Carogna solves these problems. Optimal use: The ideal thermal range for application of Carogna is between 21°C and 38°C, allowing 8 hours to reach 80% of the adhesive strength. Applying the tape below 10°C is not recommended. Effetto recommend cleaning surfaces using iso-propylic alcohol. Buy Effetto Wheels & Tyres from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.
