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.

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:

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 because Strip isn’t adhesive: it’s made in one piece and relies on its elasticity to sit tight on the rim.

Please note: sorry, Strip won’t work on asymetric 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:

  1. (OPTIONAL STEP) Use a roll of electrician tape and seal the spoke holes of the rim. This just in order to create an additional protection to prevent sealant from getting inside the rim inner chamber, in the unlikely case the Strip moves and let some liquid go through.
  2. Insert the provided Caffélatex Tubeless Valve in the hole of Strip, so that the rubber base is in contact with Strip.
  3. Secure Strip to the rim, tightening the nut on the valve stem. It’s important to push the valve base against the rim while doing so, to achieve a proper air-tightness.
  4. Keeping the wheel with the valve at 12 o’ clock, finish mounting Strip onto the rim.
    With a screwdriver or a similar tool, center Strip inside the rim channel.
  5. Add tubeless tyre,Caffélatex or Végétalex sealant, inflate, ride.

Additional details in the tech video down below.

Lightweight

Being thin (0,8 mm) 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″: 30 g
  • Strip S 29″: 33 g
  • Strip M 26″/27,5″: 36 g
  • Strip M 29″: 39 g
  • Strip L 26″/27,5″: 48 g
  • Strip L 29″: 53 g

(*) 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.


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. We recommend using only Caffélatex or Végétalex sealants, or Espresso / Espresso Doppio inflate & repair cartridges with Caffélatex Tubeless Strip.

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.

Available sizes

Caffélatex Tubeless Strip is available in three widths:

  • S (25 mm): for rims with internal width between 16 and 20 mm;
  • M (30 mm): for rims with internal width between 20 and 25 mm;
  • L (35 mm): for rims with internal width between 25 and 30 mm..

For Plus and Fat size rims, see Caffélatex Tubeless Strip Plus/Fat.

Each width (S, M, L) is available in two length options, to fit different wheel diameters (26”/27,5” or 29”), for a total of six options.
Strip is sold as kits containing two rim strips and two Caffélatex Tubeless Valves Black 40 mm (for rims up to 37 mm of height), 2 wheels per kit.

Max pressure for Strip is 7 bar (100 psi), making it suitable also for wider road tyres (starting at 28mm of width).

F.A.Q.

Why introducing the Strip when you already have a tubeless conversion Tape?

For most applications adhesive tubeless tape is great, and it will always be lighter than a tubeless rim strip. A layer of our Tape weights around 10 g per wheel, our Strip is around 30 (but note that a butyl rim strip is around 65g).
However, tape requires time and some basic mechanical skills to be installed properly: Strip can be mounted in a couple of minutes and will work flawlessly even with deep-channel rims or low adhesion rim finishing.

Unlike adhesive tapes that stay inside the rim channel, the Strip climbs on rim internal walls and in some cases can be seen from the outside, when the tyre is mounted. Why?

The idea is to create air tightness between the tyre and the Strip.
This is especially useful for pin-joined rims: in those, the junction is not welded, and sealing the spoke holes in the rim channel is not enough as sealant/air can seep through the rim walls at the junction. Strip is born to be the ‘no problem’ tubeless converter!

The Strip is puncture proof. Why?

Being resistant to cuts/puncture, the Strip is immune to the tyre-lever damages that are so common on butyl tubeless liners or taped rims. The puncture resistance becomes more relevant when using the Strip on cut-out rims for Fat bikes.

My rim has a Schrader valve hole (diam. 8,5 mm). Should I use a valve adapter?

Strip will easily convert any Schrader-drilled rim with no need for any adapter (just use the provided tubeless valve and insert it in the Strip before mounting it on the rim, as described above).

"Moral reform is not the same as Christian growth."
A while back, a ministry acquaintance of mine decided to impart a little "wisdom" to this children's pastor. His advice? Well, in the context of discussing preaching and teaching, he said: "Kids just need to be told what to do." Explaining, he adding "Obeying parents, reading Bible, that kind of thing." Within context, he was heavily implying that they don't need theology, or the teaching about why we do what we do. Instead, he was settling for simple moralism. As an amusing contrast, I had begun reading Show Them Jesus only shortly before that. Whatever good intentions may have lain in his heart, that acquaintance sadly failed to remember the axiom "Rules, without relationship, breeds rebellion." Show Them Jesus takes the Biblical philosophy that showing children Jesus, and helping them know him, allows morals and behavior to flow naturally from that relationship. Rules that children will want to follow themselves, rather than complain about and find every chance to break or bend, which is inevitable with simple moralism. The book is divided into two sections. The first is "Why Teach The Good News" and the second "How to Teach the Good News." Each chapter within those sections has a title, a subtitle, and a relevant quote. For example Chapter 4 has "The Factory-Preset Fourth Grader" with the subtitle "Because the good news changes hard hearts." While the titles are usually inventive and fun, they are also insightful enough to specifically address the problem and solution offered in that chapter. The basic premise of the book is summed up in a statement made early on. "Rather than coax the kids into temporarily acting better, Joe [a fellow teacher at the author's church] told about Jesus and trusted God to use that message to make the kids become better." The author, upon discovering this, tried it, tested it, and found it to be so true that he wanted to share it with the world. Hence, the book. In the aforementioned Chapter 4, one of my favorite chapters, the author begins with an all too familiar situation. He had just finished teaching on greed, specifically, not being greedy. Next up was snack time, and the class promptly began fighting over who got more cookies. Noting that simply moral teaching just wasn't cutting it, as studies show, and lives display. Taking the time to dissect each of the good reasons we try to motivate good behavior, he finds each lacking when compared with a genuine fascination and love for God. Part 1 absolutely shines in the approachable language, relatable stories, and Biblical evidence. His philosophy is, like the Bible, simple, yet profound. It strips away tradition to reveal the hollow human efforts behind it and instead purposes the solid and soul-transforming power of the Good News of the Gospel. At this point, I was begging to know how to best address this in my own preaching, and eagerly leaped into Part 2. Beginning in chapter 6, the author begins on a slightly wobbly note. He admits he has never been to college, nor received formal training with teaching or biblical interpretation. Sadly, this shows. Chapter 6 covers showing Jesus from the Old Testament, and is populated by as many mountain peaks of beauty as it is valleys of misunderstandings. One of the peaks is his looking at each passage in light of how man has failed (or will fail) through sin, and how God responds to that. This is formally known as Bryan Chappell's "Fallen Condition Focus." (1) Using this, the author rides this principle, not to the modern day, but first, to how Jesus either solved the problem, or offered a better solution than the one in the OT. He does this with one of three questions: "Who God is," "What God does," and "Jesus Solves Problems," This is actually a pretty interesting approach, and one that many teachers would benefit greatly from. He lays incredible emphasis on getting past the human players and looking to God for the lesson to be learned. He even recommends ditching pre-made lessons to try out this "good news" focused approach, an idea I (after reading far too many moralistic and simplistic and topical) I heartily agree with. Later, however, the author writes that each passage can have several themes and main ideas. While that's true to a point, concepts like the "Hermetical Idea" and/or "Exegetical Idea" rely on the fact that passages contain one big idea, and additional elements explain or apply it. He also offers the idea that some OT passages are wrought with a "tension" and incompleteness until Jesus is applied. While this sounds nice, it also means saying that God's Word was incapable of conveying the truth he wanted until thousands of years after it was written. What then of the original, biblical author's intent to his original audience? Sometimes, it seems, in the eagerness to find Jesus, Show Them Jesus misses that God is also, well, God. Using the author's own approach to find how God loved sinners would show how God continued to love them in that way in Jesus, rather than heavily hint that there are/were problems with the Bible and it's stories until 33 AD. Thankfully, the remaining chapters, stepping into Christ's time, then into modern application, obviously don't suffer as much from interpretive issues. Chapter 8 is heavy on practical application of this, not only in teaching, but in other classroom policies. It breaks down class rewards, discipline, corporate worship, and even how to handle misbehavior in light of the "good news" model. It's an incredibly hard-hitting chapter that needs to be read and re-read. The final chapter ends with a reminder to stay the course, even when it doesn't seem to be working, or life is frustrating, or even you yourself struggle with this "good news" focus. Christ is there, he loves you, and he will aid you. The conclusion, featuring a sermon excerpt of Spurgeon's, as his Gospel-centered message inspired D. L. Moody to speak far more often of Christ in his own preaching. This hearkens back to the opening of the book, as there, another teacher inspired the author on his own journey. The book closes by challenging the readers to inspire those around them as they too teach Christ. At it's brightest, Show Them Jesus is a brilliant beacon of hope that has the power to turn the stagnant and ineffective moralism upside down and inside out by reminding Christians of the power of God's good news in Christ. Like a surgical knife, it cuts away at false motivations and selfish desires to do right, and makes way for the Bible's truth to penetrate our hearts. He offers the problem, he offers a solution, and now it's our turn to step up to the plate and follow his lead in showing others Jesus. Notable Quotables: Chapter 1: Because Jesus is All We Need - "The good news means you relate to God based on what Jesus has done for you, not what you’ve done to prove yourself worthy." Chapter 4: The Factory-Preset Fourth Grader - "None of us learns to love anyone—including God—by having someone tell us to love them. You love people because you find them beautiful and lovable, and because they love you. The good thing is that God is far, far more beautiful and love-worthy than anything or anyone else, and he loves us far, far more than anyone else ever could." Chapter 8: The Grapes That Taught Good News - "The kids’ attitudes also confirmed what my gut felt when I first heard about the [Bible] bucks: a classroom culture built on rewards for performance wouldn’t fit the good news I planned to teach. It wouldn’t do to teach that God’s rewards in salvation come freely, by grace, but that rewards in the church come by being good and memorizing verses." Chapter 9: The War on Sin - "Moral reform is not the same as Christian growth." 8/10

Full of great ideas
Format: Paperback
While not well written, the book does deal with a critical topic, i.e. Why do kids leave the church soon after Sunday school? Jack identifies the singular reason and gives very helpful examples of how to prevent the trend from continuing in your S.S. or home. It shows good hands-on, tried and tested ways, not just theory, to help kids (and adults) fall in love with Jesus. Jack reminds us that as teachers or parents we are totally dependent on the Lord to give us that love. I was also helped by the section on discipline/keeping order in the S.S. I expect to use this book to help improve the teaching and discipline in our S.S, Perhaps, most importantly, personal application is needed first.

Life changing
Format: Kindle
This is without a doubt the best book I have ever read aside from the Bible. This book taught me more in one day than 25 years in church. I had never been more excited about Jesus or the bible until this book, my son has caught on and loves to talk about it. My one goal as a parent, the only thing I truly want for my son is to have a love for god and an understanding of Gods love for him and I didn't know how to reach that goal until I read this. I prayed about it, and this book came up on my suggestion list with one review, could of been the mans wife, but I just knew that it wasn't a coincidence. I have since read it twice in my kindle and came back to order it in hardcover. Every parent and ministry leader should read this heavenly book. I have never read an author that was so humble, not the humble that makes you smirk but the type that makes you cry because you don't feel like you are being schooled or judged but somehow this man gets right on your level and speaks to your soul. Jack, thank you, for your humility, for your obedience, for your love for God, you have changed our lives and I will always be grateful.

Relevant to the present day.
Format: Paperback
Joseph Stalin makes the concepts of dialectical and historical materialism accessible to the lay-person in this work. It's short, but dense and does a good job of explaining why the communist party of the 1920s and 1930s chose to pursue the policies they did. A fascinating insight into the fundamental world-view of a controversial world figure. Only 44 pages, but you will likely reread it several times in order to truly internalize its messaging. Thankful to the seller for making this essay available as the works of polarizing political figures are often censored, suppressed or outright banned in many places. The English translation does a fine job of conveying the original essay written in Russian.
