characteristics
tubeless conversion, made easy - caffélatex strip is the ultimate tubeless solution for very difficult rims (for example, cut-out fat rims, aluminium rims with mat surface finishing, carbon rims with mould release treatment - where no tape sticks very long -, 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-centre valve holes.

strip medium 29″: 39g
(*) tolerance +/- 10% on nominal weight
medium (30mm): for rims with internal width between 20 and 25mm
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.
warning: using sealants containing aggressive chemicals or ammonia, or cleaning the rim with aggressive chemical products can damage caffélatex tubeless strip and may represent dangers to the user.
