Replacing standard rim tape or rim strip, Caffélatex Tubeless Tape makes rims air-tight, sealing spoke holes. It allows tubeless conversion of most bicycle wheels, using Tubeless or Tubeless-Ready tyres, Caffélatex Tubeless Valve and Caffélatex sealant. The M size (25mm x 8m) fits a wide range of rim widths, providing reliable spoke hole sealing for a cleaner, lighter setup. Compatible with most modern wheel builds, this tape is essential for achieving a proper tubeless system that reduces puncture risk and improves ride quality.

CHARACTERISTICS

Easy to use: Replacing standard rim tape or rim strip, Caffélatex Tubeless Tape makes rims air-tight, sealing spoke holes. It easily adapts to rim internal profiles and, thanks to its low memory, it doesn't 'spring back' once put down in the rim channel, for increased stability. Its adhesion is state-of-the-art, ensuring a secure seal that lasts through countless rides.

High quality tape: Caffélatex Tubeless Tape is not your average "multi-purpose" tape. Relying on polyester instead of common PVC material, it's light, thin and highly resistant to damages and pressure. Its special adhesive doesn't have the immediate tack of natural rubber glues used in cheaper tapes, but develops a stronger bonding over time and is much more tolerant to temperature and humidity changes and aging. This superior construction ensures long-lasting performance in demanding conditions.

Super light: At Effetto Mariposa we are not obsessed with lightness, but we certainly like light parts. Caffélatex Tubeless Tape has gained the reputation for being the perfect complement to featherweight wheels: in size M, it adds only 5.5 g to a 29" mountain bike wheel, making it ideal for riders seeking minimal weight without compromising on performance or reliability.

Mounting tips: Before gluing Caffélatex Tubeless Tape inside the rim, carefully clean the rim channel with a degreaser and a clean cloth, removing any trace of grease or lubricant. Remove any eventual trace of dried-up degreaser with a dry, clean cloth. A properly prepared surface ensures optimal adhesion and a reliable, long-lasting tubeless seal.

Available sizes - Caffélatex Tubeless Tape is available in six widths:

• S (20,5 mm): for rims with internal width between 16 and 20 mm;
• M (25 mm): for rims with internal width between 20 and 25 mm;
• L (29 mm): for rims with internal width between 25 and 29 mm;
• Plus S (34 mm): for rims with internal width between 29 and 34 mm;
• Plus M (40 mm): for rims with internal width between 34 and 40 mm;
• Plus L (45 mm): for rims with internal width between 40 and 45 mm.

Each width (S, M, L, Plus S, Plus M, Plus L) is available in two length options, 8 m and 50 m Shop rolls. To preserve the tape properties over time, each tape can be stored inside its re-sealable bag, keeping the adhesive fresh and ready for your next wheel build.
