Effetto Mariposa Carogna Tubular Tape

Brand:Effetto Mariposa

Code:E-EMCHCR

Carogna (pronounced “car-own-ya”) double sided adhesive tubular tape has 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 and with the specific additional consideration given to cyclocross and mountain-bike tubulars, where specific features are needed from the gluing standpoint.

Carogna has been tested and is designed to perform flawlessly on any rim material (aluminum, carbon), with any tubular (seamless, handmade, vulcanized sew-ups…), on and off-road.

The tape has two application-specific sides one for the rim and one for the tubular itself::

1. The adhesive is Semi-structural and removable on the rim-side: adhesion is guaranteed by industrial-grade acrylic glue, native to the base tape; this means that when removing the tubular (breaking its bond with the rim), the acrylic glue will stay on the tape, not on the rim. Acrylic has a good adhesion on both aluminum and carbon without any specific surface preparation.

2. The glue is permanent on the tubular side: there’s a 1 mm-thick layer of a recently-developed permanent glue for underwater applications. This thick glue film will move and spread when the tubular is first inflated, ensuring optimized contact with any tubular base tape geometry. Humidity is obviously not an issue, and this glue adheres well to any kind of base tape material (nylon, cotton, poly-cotton) or external finishing (raw, brushed, or coated by neoprene).

The tape has a wide operational temperature. Once adhesion is set, use at low temperatures (down to -40°C) 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 150°C for extended periods (hours), exceeding the heat-resistance of even the best mastics and widely exceeding the heat-resistance of any other tubular tape.

Adhesion is exceptionally strong and uniform across the whole circumference of the rim for all tubulars and it is also uniform across the tubular base tape. One short-coming of tubular tape to-date has been limited adhesion at the edges of the base tape or in the center of tubulars with a raised center seam. Carogna solves these problems.

The ideal thermal range for application of Carogna is between 21°C and 38°C (70 to 100°F) and you should allow 8 hours to reach 80% of the adhesive strength . Applying the tape below 10°C is not recommended.

We recommend cleaning surfaces (rim and tubular base tape) using iso-propylic alcohol or mineral spirits beforehand.

  • Important notes for cyclocross use of Carogna:

    AVOID SANDPAPER ON THE RIM

    We know this is common practice when gluing with mastic, but tapes are different. Sandpaper will create small grooves on the rim, reducing the effective bonding surface for the tape. A smooth rim bed offers the maximum surface of contact for Carogna: we recommend removing eventual residual glue completely with Carogna Remover before applying Carogna tape.

    CAROGNA WIDTH MUST BE THE CORRECT ONE FOR YOUR RIM

    If Carogna tape is much wider than your rims (for example Carogna “M”, 25mm, on a 20mm rim) there is tape on the side that isn’t properly glued to the tubular/rim. That area is a potential entry for dirt and water ingress underneath the glued section of Carogna… not immediately, but within your third or fourth weekend of races. It’s better to trim the eventual excess, before mounting the tubular

    DON’T LET YOUR TUBULARS OUT TO FREEZE BEFORE THEY ‘STICK’

    As per the mounting instructions, the ideal thermal range for application of Carogna is between 21°C and 38°C (70 to 100°F), allowing 8 hours to reach 80% of the adhesive strength. Applying the tape below 10°C is not recommended. If it’s too cold the glue won’t be able to develop permanent bonds, as it’s supposed to do. Once adhesion is set, the use at low temperatures (down to -40°C) is not a problem.

    LOWER INFLATING PRESSURE MIGHT REQUIRE LONGER GLUING TIME

    As most cx tubulars won’t allow a very high maximum pressure, Carogna might require a longer time before optimal adhesion. This depends very much on the finishing/surface of the tubular base tape.

    In most cases, this is not needed, but there have been reported cases where cyclocross tubulars were not glued after 8 hours… but were perfectly glued allowing one more day at maximum pressure.

    SURFACES MUST BE PROPERLY CLEANED/PREPARED

    Especially when using tubulars with a raw cotton/unprotected base tape, extra care should be taken to clean the gluing surfaces. We recommend Effetto Mariposa Eau de Carogna gluing primer for the tubular base tape, to make sure adhesion is not hindered by dust or humidity.

    The quality of the adhesion should be checked by completely deflating the tubular and gently pushing it on the side. If the tubular is still not holding, waiting longer will normally address the issue.

     

    Sizing Information

    Carogna is available in 3 sizes and each 2 metre roll will tape one rim.

    Narrow (16.5 mm wide) (S)

    Medium (20 mm wide) (SM)

    Wide (25 mm wide) (M)

    Narrow (S) is recommended for traditional/legacy tubular rims (external width up to 20 mm), Medium (SM) for rims with external width between 21 and 24 mm, while the Wide (M) is recommended for rims with a width between 25 and 28 mm.
