Effetto Mariposa Caffelatex sealant


SO GOOD
This Italian-made sealant is designed to foam up, allowing it to better coat the inside of the tyre. It also contains tiny particles to help clog up holes.

When we removed our 6mm screwdriver, the Caffelatex 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.

NO GOOD
After shaking the tyre vigorously, we expected the foaming action to plug sidewall holes easily, but this only worked when the hole was at the lowest point of the tyre.

Price 30$ for 1l

Gusset Magnum stem

SO GOOD Gusset’s 50mm stem is nicely CNC machined from 7075 alloy and the faceplate and internal steerer clamp are available in a range of five anodised colours to complement the black body. The hidden steerer clamp keeps sharp edges to a minimum and removes stress from the body of the stem. Out on the bike, the stem proved flex free and bombproof.
