CO2 Cartridges, Inflators and Pumps
Pump a Tyre In Nothing Flat with CO2
Even the best mini- pumps seem to take take forever, but in an instant a CO2 cylinder can deliver more than enough “air” to get you home. A 16g cartridge will put about 40psi in a mountain bike tyre and about 125psi in a road bike tyre. And they are small – about 1/6th the size of a mini pump.
CO2 Kits come in two pieces: the CO2 inflator and a replaceable co2 cartridge.
TIPS: consider practicing at least once with a CO2 cartridge and inflator before you road test your new kit: using one can be a bit daunting on the first try. Also do not hold the CO2 cylinder in your bare fingers as it releases the gas, it can freeze burn - use your gloves, a rag or buy a cartridge protector.
