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.

Characteristics 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.
Tubular tyres can be a daunting, difficult and time-consuming proposition for a lot of riders. While clinchers are a comparative breeze to mount, tubulars require glue or less-effective taping in order to be safely mounted. Effetto Mariposa's Carogna Tubular Tape provides all the performance of glue, with the ease of tape.Extremely easy to use, making tubular tyres far quicker to fit safelyProvides excellent adhesion and is highly heat-resistant; perfect for road racingLeaves the rim ready for next gluing or taping when removed.Suitable for road or cyclocross use on carbon or aluminium rimsSize-specific for different rim widthsGluing tubular tyres and rims is both time-consuming and messy. With the need for the glue to set before mounting the tyre, realistically it can take days rather than minutes to safely mount them. This is where Effetto Mariposa's Carogna Tubular Tape provides a key advantage; it is incredibly easy and quick to use and offers incredibly secure adhesion to rival gluing. It also offers excellent heat-resistance, making it perfect for high-performance use where rim temperatures can soar. The tape also leaves no residue, so once removed the rim needs no additional cleaning before it is next glued or more tape is re-applied.Not only is Carogna Tubular Tape extremely easy to use, it is also suitable for both road and cyclocross use, with it being rated to extremely high and low-temperature use. Rim material is not a problem either, as the Carogna Tape is suitable for use with both aluminium and carbon rims. The tape comes in different sizes to suit different rim widths, with the Small width suitable for rims up to 20mm wide, Small/Medium suitable for 21-24mm rims and Medium suitable for the latest modern rims between 25 and 28mm wide. Easy to use and incredibly secure, no longer should you fear tubular tyres thanks to Effetto Mariposa's Carogna Tubular Tape.

Carogna double sided adhesive tape for Tubulars bridges the gap between previously existing tapes and mastic in terms of gluing performance and heat-resistance.• 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 and MTB 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 (Aluminium, Carbon), with any Tubular (seamless, handmade, vulcanized sew-ups…), on and off-road.Specific Adhesive Properties on Rim and Tubular:Two Application-Specific SidesSemi-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 Aluminium and Carbon without any specific surface preparation.Permanent on the Tubular SideThere’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 UseOnce 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 tapeOptimized 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 centre of Tubulars with a raised centre seam. Carogna solves these problems.Temperature Range When MountingIdeal 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 alcohol or mineral spirits.

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.
