Tubeless Rim Tape For Road or Off-Road Wheels
Suitable for both Road and Off-Road wheels, this Effetto Mariposa Caffélatex Tubeless Rim Tape seals spoke holes and makes standard wheel rims air-tight. It allows tubeless conversion of most wheels, using Tubeless or Tubeless-Ready tyres and Caffélatex sealant.

For 20-24 mm Rims
Thanks to its low memory, Caffélatex Tubeless Rim Tape provides increased stability because it doesn’t 'spring back' once put down in the rim channel. This particular listing represents the Caffélatex Tape S Shop packaged version made in Italy for rims with external section between 20 and 24mm. It provides 50 metres of 20.5mm wide rim tape.

Adhesive Strength
State-of-the-art adhesives are used in Effetto Mariposa Caffelatex Tubeless Rim Tape. It doesn’t have the immediate tack of natural rubber glue used in cheaper tapes but over time it develops a stronger bonding and is much more tolerant to temperature and humidity changes and aging. Fun Fact: It can even stick to silicone-treated paper.

Easier Tensioning
Caffelatex Tubeless Rim Tape rolls offer a small core of just 1 inch instead of the usual 3 inch-diameter cores of most tapes. This serves to save space and to make tensioning easier while taping the rim (try inserting the thumb inside the core, it happens very naturally).

Re-Sealable Bag
This product is delivered in sealed packaging to preserve the tape properties over time. Please be sure to fully lock the re-sealable bag between each use.

MOUNTING TIPS
Before gluing Caffélatex Tubeless Tape inside the rim, you should carefully clean the rim-bed, removing any trace of grease or lubricant. For this task you may use alcohol or other degreaser, then – VERY IMPORTANT – clean carefully with a clean, dry cloth because adhesion on dried-up alcohol is quite difficult.

NOTE: Use one layer for Mountain (up to 4 bar) and two layers for Road (up to 8 bar) applications.
