Sizing
  • Improved formula (since January 2012):Thanks to the addition of microscopic silicate particles, Effetto Caffélatex sealant now moves more slowly through holes, allowing the sealing ingredient more time to heal the puncture. These particles are NOT of macroscopic size (e.g., glitter 150-300 microns) but are instead microscopic particles less than 2 microns in diameter. Thus, Caffélatex flow characteristics change on a microscopic level without the headaches of valve-clogging glitter. Puncture repair speed is up to 5 times faster, an improvement especially noticeable with lightweight or thin-casing tiresFoaming action activated by wheel movement:The first advantage of Caffélatex over classic latex-based sealants comes from a foaming agent (ActifoamTM), activated by wheel movement. Centrifugal force drives standard latex-based sealants against the outer circumference of the tyre. Caffélatex foaming action causes it to fill the tyre's entire internal cavity , making it much more effective against sidewall punctures.Puncture-repairing action:Its fast sealing action makes Caffélatex ideal for MTB and road tubeless, tubular and standard tyres. Caffélatex repairs punctures up to 5 mm (mtb) and 3 mm (road).Stable over time:Thanks to its formula, Caffélatex is a very stable and durable sealant, but we know this is highly dependable on kind of application and external conditions.Using the recommended quantities for tyre size, the expected sealant lifespan is:Tubular (or Caffélatex inserted into latex/butyl inner tube):1-2 yearsUST Tubeless tyre: 4-6 monthsTubeless-ready tyre: 2-4 monthsTube-type tyre: 2-3 monthsNevertheless, in the impossibility of knowing our customers' specific application (kind of wheel/tyre set-up, tyre sidewall thickness and porosities, external temperature and humidity, bicycle storage conditions…), we recommend checking Caffélatex every 2 months, to make sure it's liquid and therefore retains its 'puncture preventive' action.When dry, Caffélatex-sealed wheels are still air-tight, but Caffélatex won't actively repair punctures.Not corrosive:being completely ammonia-free, its 100% tyre and rim friendly. It's also a favourite sealant for cyclocross/tubular applications, creating no harm to the sensitive latex inner tubes.Usage and storage temperatures:From very cold to very hot, exceeding by far those of first-generation latex sealants (usage: -20/+50deg.C ~ storage: -15/ +30deg.C).Recommended quantities:30 to 50 ml per wheel for road/cyclocross applications; 50 ml for mtb tyres up to 26 x 2.10/29 x 2.00; 60 to 100 ml for mtb tyres over 26 x 2.10/29 x 2.00.Sizes:60ml pouch, 250ml or 1000ml bottles or 10 litre workshop tub

Effetto Caffélatex is a truly innovative tyre sealant successfully used on and off (MTB cyclocross) road for tubeless tubular and inner-tube applications.
MBUK

"When we removed our 6mm screwdriver, the Caffélatex sealed the hole almost instantly. Even after wiggling the tool around it didn't take long to plug the hole. If you buy the one-litre bottle, it's great value too."

What Mountain Bike

Even after wiggling the screwdriver around, it plugged the hole on the second revolution of the wheel, making it a slightly faster hole-plugger than Stan's.
It's the cheapest on test, though, and if you buy the 1-litre bottle, it's surprisingly good value.

When will my order arrive? (excluding Bikes)

Just above the 'Add to basket' button you will see the item availability. We have 3 different availability stock flags on our website which will determine how long an order will take to arrive.

In Stock in Kircaldy Shop
This means that we physically have the item in the shop. If you choose one of our Priority Delivery options then you can expect your order within 1 to 3 working days. If you choose a Non Priority Delivery service you can expect your order within 3 to 5 working days.

In Stock at Supplier
Our stock system is linked in with our suppliers stock system which allows us to offer a wider product range, but does increase the delivery times a little. If you choose one of our Priority Delivery options you can expect the order within 3 to 5 working days. If you choose Non Priority Delivery you can expect the order within 5 to 10 working days, although this is completely determined by the speed of the item coming from our supplier.

Out of Stock
This means that both ourselves and our suppliers are out of stock of the item. Although the website won't allow you to order something with this stock flag you are more than welcome to contact us with the Product ID. We may be able to back order it for you, or at least see if we can provide an estimated restocking date.

If you need an order quicker than this please email us with the product ID to find out if this is possible to avoid disappointment.

What about bikes?

We aim to dispatch all bikes within 5 working days, but during busy periods we may have a few builds in the queue and could take a bit longer. If this is a concern or you need the bike before a certain date then please email us to make sure we can achieve this and avoid any disappointment. We will email you the day of dispatch and you can expect the bike the following day. If you provide a mobile number on your order the courier will also send you a text message 1 hour before delivery so you know exactly what time to expect it.

Who do you use to send orders?

We use Royal Mail for most of your orders unless they are bulky or valuable, in which case we will send the order using DPD. You can also specify DPD at checkout if you prefer to have your item delivered with an hours notice in the form of email or text from the courier.
