Total products with this feature: 2
Average price of products with this feature: £9.75 - Feature: Wide temperature range: Once adhesion is set, the 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.
Total products with this feature: #VALUE!
Average price of products with this feature: #VALUE! - Feature: 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.
Total products with this feature: #VALUE!
Average price of products with this feature: #VALUE! - Feature: Optimal use: The ideal thermal range for application of Carogna is between 21°C and 38°C, allowing 8 hours to reach 80% of the adhesive strength. Applying the tape below 10°C is not recommended. Effetto recommend cleaning surfaces using iso-propylic alcohol.

Quality of Effetto Carogna Tubular Rim Tape

There’s no doubt that quality is a major factor when buying any bike related products but as you’d imagine, it’s especially important when buying Rim Tape. The difficulty with shopping online is that we don’t get the benefit of being able to see and perhaps test the product like we would in-store. So we aren’t able to make an informed decision for ourselves on the quality of an item.
This is why it’s important to read lots of reviews, as customers like you will give honest and open feedback on the quality of a product. That’s why we really emphasise the importance of spending time reading lots of reviews, don’t just look for the good ones, try and dig deeper into those that aren’t so positive. There are various factors that can influence the quality of a product or even our perception of the quality of a product. Generally these are:
- Price: Whilst this absolutely isn’t always the case, often the higher the price the better the quality, when comparing like-for-like products.
- Specification: You will have seen the features and specs of Effetto Carogna Tubular Rim Tape above, some of the specs will be of a better or worse quality than alternative products, we often use the specs list as a guide to how good Rim Tape are.
- Brand: Obviously Effetto are pretty well known for their great quality Rim Tape, but there are tons of different brands out there, some will be better known for offering better quality products, so if it’s quality you’re after, shop for those products from brands that are known for their quality.
- Your own preferences and experience – nothing can beat your own experience. We all have different expectations of what we consider to be good quality, so it’s important to think about and apply any previous experience or preferences you have when shopping around. Do you have any experience with Effetto Carogna Tubular Rim Tape or products from Effetto. If you’ve never bought Rim Tape before then reviews will of course be a huge factor for you.
