CHARACTERISTICS

Quick repair

Espresso 100 ml allows cyclists to repair punctures quickly, by injecting a foam of Caffélatex (synthetic latex-based sealant) through the valve. This avoids the need of removing the wheel, saving precious time: less than a minute is enough to inflate and repair road or off-road tyres, returning immediately to pedaling.

Works with any valve

In case of puncture the stress level is high, and Espresso is designed to work simply and effectively, eliminating possible problems. The provided adapters allow Espresso to fit Presta and Schrader valves. Using a specific adapter (not provided) it can work flawlessly with Clik valve mechanisms.

Polyvalent and 32"-ready

Espresso is ideal for road / off-road cycling and repairs punctures in tubeless tyres, tubulars and inner tubes. Thanks to the specific ratio of sealant and propellant gas, it's effective also for high volume tyres up to 32x2.40", all this while keeping the weight low (110 g) and a sleek shape (35 mm of diameter, 155 mm of height) to fit easily in jersey pockets.

Ammonia-free

Espresso contains liquid Caffélatex and propane gas: the first performs the puncture repairing action, the second inflates the tyre. Caffélatex is an ammonia-free sealant, harmless for tyres and rims. For this reason Espresso does not damage the inner tubes, not even the latex ones used for high-end tubulars. 


IMPORTANT: if the Caffélatex sealant is already present inside the tyre, Espresso can still be used to facilitate the repair of a puncture and increase the inflation pressure.

Final repair

If the puncture is indeed repairable (Espresso does not repair large cuts or holes greater than 4 mm) the synthetic latex contained in the canister closes the hole in a stable manner. After using Espresso to repair a puncture, it is best to observe the tyre in the following days to evaluate abnormal pressure losses. The propane contained in Espresso is not retained for a long time by a tyre or inner tube, so a pressure loss is normal within 24 hours after using Espresso ... easily remedied by inflating with a normal pump. If after this the pressure becomes stable, the repair is final and there’s no need to do anything else, just pedal!

Maximum repairable damage in inner tubes

Inner tubes expand when inflated - limited in their volume increase by the tyre alone - and a hole in an inner tube tends to change geometry and size at different pressures. Since a hole in an inner tube expands with inflation, the maximum damage that can be repaired in a tubeless tyre (where the shape and size of a puncture changes little with pressure) is greater than with a tyre with tube. Espresso generally repairs holes up to 1 mm in inner tubes, up to 4 times larger in a tubeless.

Dosage

Espresso is single-dose (one cartridge for one tyre). Delivery can be interrupted and resumed at will by pressing or releasing the nozzle button.

Pressure

Espresso can inflate a road tyre up to 4 bar and tyres up to 32x2.40" (61-686) up to approximately 0,5 bar. It is possible to inflate the tyre further after using Espresso, with any pump. Make sure the pressure is sufficient before riding.
