Your wheels are lying to you. 🤫
That annoying rattling from your valve? The slight vibration you feel through your carbon rims at speed? Your high-end wheels are hiding their true potential — and most riders don't even know it.
Meet the Shelter Wheel Kit by Effetto Mariposa 🦋 — 35 ultra-thin visco-elastic washers that solve two problems you didn't think had a solution:
🔇 Valve silencer — Each washer fits snugly around the valve stem, locking it silently in place. No more rattling on high-profile rims. No more unwanted movement or vibration. Nearly invisible, incredibly effective. And if you need to pull the valve out and re-insert it? The silencing effect stays put.
⚖️ Wheel balancer — You'd never drive a sports car with unbalanced wheels. So why ride your carbon wheelset without balancing them? Typical wheel imbalance ranges from 4 to 12 grams — enough to feel it at speed. With the Shelter Wheel Kit and a simple truing stand, you can dial in perfect balance in just a few minutes per wheel.
✅ Eliminates valve noise, especially on deep-section rims ✅ Fine wheel balancing for max performance ✅ Visco-elastic material absorbs and reduces vibrations ✅ Made in Italy 🇮🇹 | Re-sealable bag keeps unused washers fresh
Small kit. Big difference.
