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.
Super-lightweight and constructed from high-density EVA, this insert gives tubeless tyres an added layer of protection, ideal for those looking to ride of tough terrain. This pack of two impact absorbers is easy-to-install and does not absorb sealant within the tyre, allowing it to work in perfect harmony with your favourite tyre protection systems.
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 Caffelatex Tubeless FluidThis tubeless tyre sealant from Effetto is an effective and successfully sealant designed for use for off-road, road, tubeless, tubular and inner-tube bikes. Providing you with a durable, reliable, puncture-resistant sealant, it is ammonia-free and does not include any abrasive chemicals. It turns into foam when agitated, spreads easily and doesn’t unbalance the wheel. It has been used successfully in cyclocross, road and mountain biking at all levels, from leisure riding to professional racing.It works thanks to the addition of microscopic silicate particles, Caffélatex moves slowly through holes, allowing the sealing ingredient more time to heal the puncture. These particles are 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 especially noticeable with lightweight or thin-casing tyres.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.Thanks to its formula, Caffélatex is a very stable and durable sealant, although its lifespan is also dependant on kind of application and external conditions. 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.Features:Capacity: 1000ml Its fast sealing action makes Caffélatex ideal for MTB and road tubeless, tubular and standard tyresCaffélatex repairs punctures up to 5mm (MTB) and 3mm (road)The expected sealant lifespan is: Tubular (or Caffélatex inserted into latex/butyl inner tube): 1-2 yearsUST Tubeless tyre: 4-6 monthsTubeless-Ready tyre: 2-4 monthsTube-type tyre: 2-3 monthsEffetto recommends 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 puncturesBuy Effetto Wheels & Tyres from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.
