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.
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.
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.

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
