EFFETTO CAFFELATEX TUBELESS STRIP L 29" (PAIR)
Caffélatex Tubeless Strip is a very light, puncture-proof and transparent tubeless rim strip that makes tubeless conversions quick and easy. Strip allows tubeless conversion of most standard bicycle wheels, using Tubeless or Tubeless-Ready tyres and Caffélatex or Végétalex sealant. For Plus or Fat size rims, see Caffélatex Tubeless Strip Plus/Fat.
FEATURES:
CHARACTERISTICS:
Tubeless conversion, made easy - Caffélatex Strip is the ultimate tubeless solution for very difficult rims (for example, cut-out Fat rims, aluminium rims with mat surface finishing, carbon rims with mould release treatment - where no tape sticks very long -, rims with very deep channel, pin-joined rims where the junction is not welded etc.). This because Strip isn’t adhesive: it’s made in one piece and relies on its elasticity to sit tight on the rim. Please note: Strip won't work on asymmetric rims with off-center valve hole.
Weights(*) for a single Strip are:
(*) tolerance +/- 10% on nominal weight
Highly resistant to damage and puncture, the special polymer employed in its construction makes Strip highly resistant to damage and puncture. It’s also very stable from a chemical standpoint and cannot be damaged by Caffélatex or other non-chemically-aggressive tyre sealants.
WARNING: using sealants containing aggressive chemicals or ammonia, or cleaning the rim with aggressive chemical products can damage Caffélatex Tubeless Strip and may represent dangers to the user. Effetto Mariposa recommend using only Caffélatex or Végétalex sealant or Espresso / Espresso Doppio inflate & repair cartridges with Caffélatex Tubeless Strip.
Something you can do with the Caffelatex Strip that you simply can’t with tubeless tapes: moving Strip from one rim to another. As the Strip material is very durable, its lifespan can exceed the one of the rim it’s mounted on, and can it be removed and mounted on another rim. Strip can also be removed and mounted on the same rim if a spoke needs to be replaced.
