Caffélatex 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 Caffélatex or Végétalex sealant. "Single" means you get just one Strip, no tubeless valve included.
EXCLUSIVE FEATURES:
- The easiest way to perform a tubeless conversion
- Very light tubeless rim strip
- Damage-resistant
- Long lasting, it can be moved from one wheel to another
- Extended range of widths
CHARACTERISTICS:
Note for road and gravel riders looking for the correct Strip for their wheels
- 1. 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".
- 2. 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".
Tubeless conversion, made easy
- Caffélatex 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 is because Strip isn’t adhesive: it’s made in one piece and relies on its elasticity to sit tight on the rim.
- Please note: Strip won't work on asymmetric rims with off-center valve hole.
- To convert a rim to tubeless, simply remove the existing rim-strip, choose the appropriate Strip size and follow the following easy steps:
Lightweight
- Being thin (0,8mm) and strong, Strip only weighs 30 g (for S 26″/27,5″), 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). Weights (*) for a single Strip are:
- Strip S 26″/27,5″: 30g; Strip S 29″: 33g; Strip M 26″/27,5″: 36g; Strip M 29″: 39g; Strip L 26″/27,5″: 48g; Strip L 29″: 53g; Strip Plus S 26″/27,5″: 55g; Strip Plus S 29″: 58g; Strip Plus M 26″/27,5″: 68g; Strip Plus M 29″: 72g; Strip Plus L 26″/27,5″: 91g; Strip Plus L 29″: 95g
(*) tolerance +/- 10% on nominal weight.
Highly resistant to damage and puncture
- The special polymer employed in its construction makes Strip highly resistant to damage and puncture. It’s also very stable from a chemical standpoint and cannot be damaged by Caffélatex or other non-chemically aggressive tyre sealants
Long lasting
- Something you can do with Strip that you simply can’t with adhesive tubeless tapes: moving Strip from one rim to another. As the Strip material is very durable, its lifespan can exceed the one of the rim it’s 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.
Caffélatex Tubeless Strip is available in six widths:
- S (25mm): for rims with internal width between 16 and 20mm; M (30mm): for rims with internal width between 20 and 25mm; L (35mm): for rims with internal width between 25 and 30mm; Plus S (40mm): for rims with internal width between 30 and 35 mm; Plus M (45mm): for rims with internal width between 35 and 40mm; Plus L (50mm): for rims with internal width between 40 and 45mm.
- Each width is available in two length options, to fit different wheel diameters (26”/27,5” or 29”), for a total of twelve options.
Max pressure for Strip is 7 bar (100 psi), making it suitable also for wider road tyres (starting at 28mm of width).
