To take full advantage of the superb Caffélatex sealant, Effetto have created tubeless conversion kits to convert standard bicycle wheels into tubeless (2 wheels per kit).Caffélatex Tubeless Conversion Kit has been developed for Tubeless, Tubeless-Ready, 2Bliss and TNT (Tube No Tube) mountain bike tyres, manufactured according to UST fitting diameter.WARNING: the use of Caffélatex Tubeless Conversion Kit with standard mountain bike tube-type tyres is done under the user’s sole responsibility and the inflation with these tyres might be difficult, due to Caffélatex Tubeless Tape reduced thickness.Standard road wheels can also be converted to tubeless with the appropriate width Tubeless Kit.WARNING: on the road, due to the high inflating pressure, road tubeless tyres are the only ones that will function (tube-type tyres will explode… either immediately after mounting them or during a ride, with the risk of serious injuries or death).KIT CONTENTS1 bottle of Caffélatex sealant, 250 ml,1 roll of Caffélatex Tubeless Tape (SM, MD or LG version, depending on the kit),2 Caffélatex Tubeless Valves with conic adapters (for both Presta and Schrader-drilled rims) and a key for Presta mechanisms,1 Portatutto Tool bottle NEW! (not included in 2014 kit),2014 kit contains a Caffelatex syringe,Sticker,Instruction leaflet.Versions: SMALL kit for rims with external section between 20 and 24 mm, MEDIUM kit for rims with external section between 25 and 29 mm, LARGE kit for rims with external section between 30 and 34mm
Tappabuco is a Tyre Plug tool ideal for repairing punctures in Tubeless Tyres. Designed to work as an end-plug for Road and Mountain Bike Handlebars, these tubeless tyre plugs can be carried inside most Shimano and SRAM Bottom Brackets too (it fits holes with inner diameter between 15 and 20 mm). This tubeless tyre repair kit is easy to carry and fast to use.Why We Created ItTyre Plugs have become a standard way of fixing bigger punctures in Tubeless Tyres. With “Tappabuco” (Italian for stopgap or literally hole plugger) Effetto Mariposa wants to offer a practical solution for road and off-road riding, easy to carry and fast to use.Easy to CarryTyre Plug tools have to be easily reached in case of puncture but – because of their sharp shape – they should be stored in a safe way. Tappabuco solves this, as it’s designed to work as end-plug for road and mountain bike handlebars, and it can be carried inside most Shimano and SRAM Bottom Brackets too (it will fit holes with inner diameter between 15 and 20 mm). Keeping the Rubber Tyre Plug already in the Tappabuco Fork ensures fast puncture repairing of Tubeless Tyres.LightweightTappabuco is made of high density Silicone with a Stainless Steel Fork, for maximum durability and adaptability. Weight is just 13g for Tappabuco 3.5 and 11g for Tappabuco 1.5.Replacement Plugs can be kept on Tappabuco, keeping them as 5pcs card and inserting the Fork between two Plugs (the picture helps see it).Specific Version for 1.5 or 3.5mm PlugsTappabuco is available in two versions:Tappabuco 1.5:Optimized for tyre plugs 1.5mm of section, 50mm length.Tappabuco 3.5:Optimized for tyre plugs 3.5mm of section, 50mm length.While the bigger, more common 3.5mm Plug is great for bigger punctures on mtb tyres, several times a 1.5mm Plug is enough for smaller damages or road/gravel Tyres: having both available is simply better. The somehow bad reputation of 1.5mm plugs, unable to fix punctures, is due to the common mistake of using these small Plugs with big Forks… opening the hole more than size of the plug. The tiny, dedicated Fork of Tappabuco 1.5 prevents this occurrence.VersionsThree kits are available.Tappabuco 1.5 KIT:Tappabuco 1.5 + 5pcs 1.5mm Plugs.Tappabuco 3.5 KIT:Tappabuco 3.5 + 5pcs 3.5mm Plugs.Tappabuco 1.5 + 3.5 KIT:Tappabuco 1.5 + Tappabuco 3.5 + 5pcs 1.5mm Plugs + 5pcs 3.5mm Plugs.
Replacing standard rim-tape, Caffélatex Tubeless Tape perfectly adapts to rim internal profile and makes standard rims air-tight, sealing spoke holes.It allows tubeless conversion of most standard mountain bike and CX wheels, using Tubeless, Tubeless-Ready, 2Bliss or TNT (Tube No Tube) tyres and Caffélatex sealant.Key Features: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..As all our products, it’s made in Italy.WARNING:Use a sharp spike or a screwdriver to make a round hole in Caffélatex Tubeless Tape at the valve hole. AVOID using a cutter knife and doing an “X” cut, that would prevent proper air-tightness at the valve base.Three different widths are available:Small: for rims with external section between 20 and 24 mm;,Medium: for rims with external section between 25 and 29 mm.,Large: for rims with external section between 30 and 34 mm.,Length: 8 metres long - will tape four wheels.
Caffélatex Tubeless Valve is a great accessory for any tubeless wheel. Like all our products, it’s made in Italy to the highest quality standards.Key Features:adapt to any rim profile with the included conic adapter,light, reliable aluminum body,come in 40, 70 and 100 mm lengths.Thanks to the provided conic adapter, Caffélatex Tubeless Valve works on both Presta and Schrader-drilled rims:On Presta-drilled rims (valve hole diameter: 6,5 mm): depending on the rim shape the flat rubber valve base might ensure a perfect air-tightness, without any additional adapter, or the conic adapter might be needed,On Presta-drilled with a wider (> 6,5 mm) inside hole, or when used on Schrader drilled rims (valve hole diameter: 8,5 mm).We recommend fitting the conic adapter on the valve before inserting it into the rim.Generally speaking, the conic adapter makes life a lot easier with the various rim profiles, as in some cases a flat-base works better than a conic base, and vice-versa. With Effetto Mariposa valves, the conic adapter allows to pass from flat to conic in a breeze.Light and reliableWe opted for an aluminum alloy that will bend before breaking, adding reliability to the lightness required by modern rims.Great lookEffetto Mariposa valves come with a red-anodized aluminum cap, to underline their quality and make them easily recognizable even when mounted.Removable valve coreThis feature allows easy mechanism replacement and the fitting of our tubeless-specific Caffélatex Valve Extensions.Available sizes40 mm length for rim profiles between 10 and 30 mm70 mm length for rim profiles between 31 and 60 mm100 mm length for rim profiles between 61 and 90 mmThese plus our 35 mm or 45 mm Caffélatex Valve Extensions allow to fit virtually any rim in the market.Complete with accessoriesEach pack includes two Caffélatex Tubeless Valves, two red-anodized aluminum caps, two rubber conic adapters, two nuts, two o-rings and a Presta mechanism/valve extension key.

The Elite Deboyo Race is the only commercially available stainless-steel thermal bottle with the innovative elite cap that features the same technology of the fly bottles, ideal to ensure copious liquid flow.Premium stainless-steel 550ml thermal bottleUp to 12 hours of thermal performance, perfect for long cold ridesIncludes both a bidon-style drinking cap for sports use and a stylish stainless steel 'leisure' capPerfect for commuters wanting to carry their chosen piping-hot caffeine hitDishwasher safe and BPA freeMax liquid temperature 100°C12 hrs hot - 24 hrs coldThis addition is ideal on a rigid bottle as the liquid flow you can obtain is tripled so drinking is way easier and quicker, with no need to press hard on the bottle body. Made in stainless steel and featuring a protective cap in its standard version, the Deboyo race is a practical, easy to use and eco-friendly bottle destined to have a very long-life cycle. The Deboyo Race isn t just a steel bottle: it s first and foremost a thermal bottle that keeps liquids hot for up to 12 hours and cold for up to 24 hours. This is mainly due to the Vacuum Technology it s made in: the bottle is made of two containers welded together, between which there are stringent vacuum conditions in order to create a thermal break. The absence of air ensures the best possible thermal isolation inside the bottle, so liquid temperature can be maintained for longer.The Deboyo Race includes the innovative cap with the same features as the fly bottles cap. Featuring a push-pull nozzle, this integration gives you a simpler liquid supply and triples its quantity - liquid also flows easier compared to the average bottle, even without having to push hard on the bottle body. This is an undoubtedly useful feature for a stainless-steel thermal bottle. Deboyo race offers two solutions in one bottle. It is possible to use the racing version, ideal for cycling, with soft rubber push-pull cap and protective cover; or the more touring version, with one-piece outdoor steel cap that can be loosened to drink the liquid straight from the bottle body.
