This French brand was established in 1903 and has since been at the forefront of manufacturing quality bike maintenance and wheel building accessories. The brand has always been ahead of its time – in 1913 Velox debuted the world's first bar tape and puncture repair kit.

Since then, Velox cotton rim tapes have become an industry standard. The Jantex tapes for tubular tyres and Tubasti tub glue are some of the brands best known, and best-selling products.
