Effetto Carogna SM Tape

. Effetto started developing their Carogna pronounced car own ya double sided adhesive tubular tape with a clear and ambitious goal to bridge the gap between previously existing tapes and mastic in terms of gluing performance and heat resistance, while retaining all the advantages of tapes In addition to this, they gave specific additional consideration to cyclocross and mountain bike tubular tyres, where specific features are needed from the gluing standpoint The SM tape is for rims with external width between 21 and 24mm. Features Extremely easy to use. Very reliable adhesion, in any condition. Once removed, Carogna leaves the rim ready for the next gluing, without additional cleaning. Universal performance Carogna has been tested and is designed to perform flawlessly on any rim material aluminiumcarbon, with any tubular seamless, handmade, vulcanised sew ups, on and off road. Wide temperature range Once adhesion is set, the use at low temperatures down to 40C is not a problem. Thermal resistance of all materials used in the manufacture of Carogna was a high priority Carogna will provide a perfect bonding at 150C for extended periods hours, exceeding the heat resistance of even the best mastics and widely exceeding the heat resistance of any other tubular tape. Optimised adhesive surface Adhesion is very strong and uniform across the whole circumference of the rim for all tubulars and it is also uniform across the tubular base tape. One shortcoming of tubular tape to date has been limited adhesion at the edges of the base tape or in the centre of tubulars with a raised centre seam. Carogna solves these problems. Optimal use The ideal thermal range for application of Carogna is between 21C and 38C, allowing 8 hours to reach 80% of the adhesive strength. Applying the tape below 10C is not recommended. Effetto recommend cleaning surfaces using iso propylic alcohol. Buy Effetto Wheels & Tyres from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.
