Description
This tubeless rim-strip makes tubeless conversions easy and quick. Unlike its butyl predecessors(from other brands), Effetto Caffélatex Rim Strip is very light, puncture-proof and transparent. Made using a proprietary polymer blend, it is available in nine widths and two different wheel diameters each (26”/27,5” and 29”).
Each Effetto Caffelatex rim strip kit contains two rim strips complete with tubeless valves. Mounting instructions are shown on the back of the header card.
Features
Why a Strip when we already have a tubeless conversion tape?
For some applications, the tape is great and it will always be lighter than a strip (8 g against 29 g per wheel... a butyl strip is around 65g). However, the tape takes time and some care/experience to be installed properly. There are then some applications where the tape simply won't work. i.e. the new cut-out rims for the new “+” and FAT size rims.
