Caffelatex Tubeless Rim Strips For Fat Bikes (x2)

This tubeless rim-strip makes tubeless conversions easy and quick. Unlike its butyl predecessors(from other brands) Caffelatex 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 kit contains two rim strips complete with tubeless valves. Mounting instructions are shown on the back of the header card.

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.
