Caff\u00e9latex 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 Caff\u00e9latex or V\u00e9g\u00e9talex sealant. “Single” means you get just one Strip, no tubeless valve included.Exclusive Features:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Characteristics:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Note for road and gravel riders looking for the correct Strip for their wheels<\/strong><\/p>\n

    wheels identified as 29″ (for mtb), 28″ (for road) and 700c have the same rim diameter, 622 mm in ISO\/ETRTO standard. Therefore, the right Strip for 700c wheels is 29″.<\/p>\n

    wheels identified as 27,5″ (for mtb) and 650b have the same rim diameter, 584 mm in ISO\/ETRTO standard. Therefore, the right Strip for 650b wheels is 26\/27,5″<\/p>\n

    Tubeless conversion, made easy<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Caff\u00e9latex Strip is the ultimate tubeless solution for very difficult rims (for example, aluminum rims with mat surface finishing, rims with very deep channel, pin-joined rims where the junction is not welded etc.). This because Strip isn\u2019t adhesive: it\u2019s made in one piece and relies on its elasticity to sit tight on the rim<\/p>\n

    Please note: sorry, Strip won’t work on asymetric rims with off-center valve hole.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    To convert a rim to tubeless, simply remove the existing rim-strip, choose the appropriate Strip size and follow the following easy steps:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • 1.(OPTIONAL STEP) Use a roll of electrician tape and seal the spoke holes of the rim. This just in order to create an additional protection to prevent sealant from getting inside the rim inner chamber, in the unlikely case the Strip moves and let some liquid go through.<\/li>\n
    • 2.Insert a tubeless valve in the hole of Strip, so that the rubber base is in contact with Strip.<\/li>\n
    • 3.Secure Strip to the rim, tightening the nut on the valve stem. It\u2019s important to push the valve base against the rim while doing so, to achieve a proper air-tightness.<\/li>\n
    • <1i>4.Keeping the wheel with the valve at 12 o\u2019 clock, finish mounting Strip onto the rim.\u00a0<1i>5.With a screwdriver or a similar tool, center Strip inside the rim channel.\u00a0<1i>6.Add tubeless tyre, Caff\u00e9latexor V\u00e9g\u00e9talexsealant, inflate, ride.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Additional details in the tech video down below.<\/p>\n

      Lightweight<\/strong><\/p>\n

      Being thin (0,8 mm) and strong, Strip only weighs 30 g (for S 26\u2033\/27,5\u2033), making it weight-wise competitive with adhesive tubeless tapes (ranging between 9 and 20 g per wheel) and simply superior to old butyl tubeless rim strips (with limited strength and adding over 65 g per wheel).<\/p>\n

      Highly resistant to damage and puncture<\/strong><\/p>\n

      The special polymer employed in its construction makes Strip highly resistant to damage and puncture. It\u2019s also very stable from a chemical standpoint and cannot be damaged by Caff\u00e9latex or other non-chemically-aggressive tyre sealants.<\/p>\n

      WARNING: using sealants containing aggressive chemicals or ammonia, or cleaning the rim with aggressive chemical products can damage Caff\u00e9latex Tubeless Strip and may represent dangers to the user.<\/strong>We recommend using only Caff\u00e9latex or V\u00e9g\u00e9talex sealants, or Espresso\/Espresso Doppio inflate & repair cartridges with Caff\u00e9latex Tubeless Strip.<\/p>\n

      Long lasting<\/strong>
      \nSomething you can do with Strip that you simply can\u2019t with adhesive tubeless tapes: moving Strip from one rim to another. \u2028As the Strip material is very durable, its lifespan can exceed the one of the rim it\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n
