Warnings
Road: due to the high inflating pressure, road tubeless tyres are the only ones that will function (standard tube-type) will explode either immediately after mounting or during your ride, with the risk of serious injuries or death
MTB: the use of Caffélatex Tubeless Conversion Kit with standard mountain bike (standard clincher (inner tube) tyres is done under the user’s sole responsibility and the inflation with these tyres might be difficult, due to Caffélatex Tubeless Tape reduced thickness

Rated 4 out of 5 by from First time I have tried tubeless and have had no punctures. Only issue is I got tape which was too wide and had a faff cutting it down to size.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from A bit tricky to convert, but great result I first tried converting my front wheel on my Scott 760 MTB, using Maxxis Minion SS tyres. Fitting the rim tape is a bit tricky to get right but essential to do it correctly without crinkles and properly positioned across the width inside the rim. After mounting the tyre and pouring in the sealant the last step of inflating the tyre was also not trivial as you need to get a bit of a seal so that pressure can be built up, after making sure the tyre was seated well it did inflate and sealant started oozing out as I spun the wheel but this soon stopped and after a couple of re-inflates in the next 2 hours I have since not had to re-inflate, the pressure remaining at 4 bar. A week later I did the same with the rear wheel and with this it seems that I did not get the rim tape stuck down properly all the way round as sealant continued bubbling out around the valve. This did eventually stop and I have now ridden 200km with both wheels tubeless. Cannot comment yet on the long-term maintenance.

Is there a 29" version? Text says this kit is 26" only.

Asked by: CarbonBreaker
This wouldn't be suitable but the Stans kit in the XC 29" or cyclocross option would be a suitable alternative: http://www.wiggle.co.uk/stans-no-tubes-tubeless-kit/

width of rim tape

I need a 25mm width of rim tape - which kit would fit best
Asked by: metalbum

Kit doesn't include sealant syringe. Is it required or is there some other method to add sealant?

Asked by: Bigtraxx
I can advise that the recommended way of installing is to use a syringe, you would need to purchase this seperately. I hope this helps.

Will this fit the 32mm Cosine Wheelset?

Will the large kit's valve length be long enough to fit in the 32mm Cosine Wheelset and if not can you advise an alternative?
Asked by: mg115
I can confirm this should be suitable with the wheels without issue.
