Highly durable tubular tape for use with tubular tyres only. Less messy than glue and easy to apply to the rim. One roll (2 metres) usually contains enough for one set of wheels.
This double-sided tub tape from Velox Jantex is simple to install, gives exceptional adhesion and requires no waiting time for the glue to dry.
The new racing tyre is called Schwalbe One. The name alone indicates how significant this new tire is for the bicycle tyre manufacturer based in the German town of Reichshof. It is produced by Schwalbe in a high-end factory set up exclusively for the manufacture of this new top-class tyre. The Schwalbe One has been used RadioShack Leopard Trek, AG2R and FDJ. With its Schwalbe One the company is underlining its major objectives in cycle racing. The Schwalbe One is the fastest and at the same time the most reliable competition tyre we have ever produced. The new triple compound: Minimum rolling resistance, maximum cut resistance A completely new compound, the OneStar triple compound, was developed specifically for extremely low rolling resistance. With Advances in recent years there have been major developments in compounding, without which such rubber mixes would not have been possible. As a result Schwalbe has achieved a great improvement in the familiar trade-off between rolling resistance, wet adhesion and durability. The technicians have subjected innumerable rubber mixes and more than 50 prototypes to laboratory tests and practical trials. However, the OneStar triple compound is not only faster, it also delivers the good grip we all appreciate and it is also more cut-resistant than previous compounds. This makes the tire significantly more puncture-resistant. The tread contour with its more robust tyre shoulder also helps to make the tyre more reliable. With its 205 grams the new racing tire, due to a slight increase in the amount of material used, is just a little heavier than the Ultremo ZX. But the technical benefits more than offset this supposed disadvantage: thanks to the innovative triple compound, rolling resistance is minimized. At the same time the compound, the V-Guard and the new tread pattern make the tyre extremely puncture-resistant. Jens Voigt from Team RadioShack Leopard Trek confirms this fact: "I am very satisfied with the performance of the Schwalbe tyres. I never experienced such wet adhesion, such great cornering with traditional, hand-sewn tubed tires in the past. And I'm thrilled with Schwalbe's persistence and the way the company is putting its heart and soul into constantly improving these racing tyres!" The Schwalbe One factory Schwalbe has set up a dedicated high-end factory within its production plant in Indonesia, specifically for the manufacture of these tyres. Which is a completely new unit where only Schwalbe One tyres are being produced, with fixed vulcanization and production units that are used exclusively for this tyre and where the most skilled workers in the entire Schwalbe plant can be found helping to ensure a consistently high quality and reliability. Handmade Tubular Hand making a tubular tyre is an art in itself. So, because production differs distinctly from the manufacture of regular bicycle tyres, they are exclusively manufactured in a new Schwalbe factory. For each, individual "hand made tubular" a lot of careful craftsmanship is required, so only the most skilled people are employed to construct each tyre and by hand, stitch and glue together each part.
This tyre offers minimal rolling resistance thanks to the Michelin GUM-X compound and the latex insert and is inspired by MOTO GP TM technology. This compound also provides efficient handling and stability in both wet and dry conditions thanks to the Michelin GUM-X compound. This tyre also offers exceptional wear resistance provided by Michelin High-Density Shield technology. This tubular tyre uses a cotton and aramid casing with a latex inner tube for lightweight, streamlined performance. Plus, with Michelin's latest advances in all-season grip and high-density protection technology, this tyre offers increased robustness, durability, and wet and dry performance.
The Campagnolo Bora Ultra 50 Wheelset features CULT Ceramic bearings, which provide extreme smoothness, the lowest friction coefficient thanks to oil lubrication and are 9 times more efficient than standard bearings and will spin for up to 47 minutes after being run at 500rpms. The Campagnolo Bora Ultra 50 Tubular Wheelset has taken on a wider rim profile, moving from 20.5 to 24.2 mm, allowing the Campagnolo engineers to improve the aerodynamics and house wider tyres. the wider tyres increase the contact patch between tyre and road, thus improving grip and ride comfort. The wider structure also represents an increase in structural strength and allows the engineers to remove the extra material used for structural integrity making the Bora family the lightest it's ever been. The Campagnolo Bora Ultra 50 Tubular Wheelset has had a tummy tuck with the weight further reduced thanks to a smaller profile front hub. The weight and size of hub have been reduced while maintaining the all the fantastic performance characteristics of the previous version. Campagnolo engineering staff have developed a new construction that provides a braking performance superior to other carbon rims. The AC3 (All Condition Carbon Control) technology not only improves braking in the dry but boosts performance by 43% over past Campagnolo models and nearly 55% over that of its closest rivals when the roads get wet. Apart from the obvious textured braking surface the construction of the new Bora wheels also underwent internal improvement to ensure maximum integrity when faced with the increased force and heat deriving from the new braking surface. If you're looking for a pro standard wheelset the Campagnolo Bora Ultra 50 Tubular Wheelset will push you past the competition and give you the feeling of a champion.
Specifically developed for the demands of modern road cycling, this tubular wheelset comes kitted out with two high-quality full carbon fibre rims for the best balance of stiffness, strength and low weight rotative performance. Campagnolo has also equipped this model with a 35mm profile, so you can benefit from guaranteed maximum lightness and aerodynamics as you put the power down. Designed for best results when riding uphill and on the flat, its lightweight CULT bearings offer up to nine times the smoothness of standard solutions. With its aerodynamic profile spokes providing maximum air penetration and its 6-bolt disc brake compatibility delivering powerful and consistent braking operation, this is a perfect choice for a wide range of riders. The Bora One 35 Disc brake is the perfect answer for cyclists searching for deep profiles capable of offering significant aerodynamic advantages while remaining lightweight and reactive for the steepest climbs. Its extremely sophisticated carbon fibre 24.2mm rim offers a rim and tyre interface optimised for the use of both 25 and 28mm tyres, by creating a more aerodynamic complete unit and a more efficient and sure-footed structure. Carbon Fibre Wheelset with CULT Bearings CULT Bearings (Ceramic Ultimate Level Technology) is a combination of the highest quality ceramic ball bearings and stainless-steel races available on the market, to reduce friction to the very minimum yet maintain a consistently high level of performance for long periods of time. The Mega-G3 Spoke pattern is a type of spoke assembly that improves energy transfer between the hub, which reduces stress on the right-hand side which in turn increases the rigidity of the wheel. This is achieved by having twice as many spokes as the left-hand side. 6-Bolt Disc Brake Compatibility The Bora One 35 Disc represents the same quality, performance and reliability that made its rim-brake predecessor such an iconic wheel. While it incorporates any technologies used in the rim brake version, this wheelset has been specifically designed for the unique demands that come with disc brake construction. The wheel has been engineered to optimise the distribution of forces caused by disc brakes. The Bora One 35 Disc Brake Wheel is entirely hand-built by a specialised Campagnolo technician and is checked in every tiny detail with electronic tools. This ensures that every wheel conforms to the high standards that Campagnolo pride itself and will have unbeatable reliability.

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.
